Bushnell, J.
{dissenting). I am unable to agree with the conclusion reached by Mr. Justice Sharpe.
It is fundamental that in reviewing matters from the department of labor and industry, an award will be upheld where there is any evidence to support the findings of fact of the commission.
Mr. Justice Sharpe feels that there is no evidence that Goudie was unable to secure employment because of his physical condition. The record shows that, although “conditionally” re-employed by defendant on September 15, 1947, Goudie was “released” on October 17, 1947. The reason given for the termination of employment was that he failed to meet his employer’s physical standards. This conclusion was reached after considering X-rays of Goudie’s lungs, which had been taken on September 12 and October 14, 1947. This is evidence that he was unable to secure employment because of his physical condition. See Kadykowski v. Briggs Manufactur*146ing Co., 304 Mich 503, and Allen v. National Twist Drill & Tool Co., 324 Mich 660.
The award of the commission should be affirmed.
