Griffin Smith, C. J., dissents. Insofar as I have been able to ascertain, the decision in favor of appellants stands alone as a judicial finding of fact that dust ag- ' gravates lung cancer and hastens death — a finding that clashes head-on with the frank admissions of medical men the world over who say they do not know what causes cancer, but are groping scientifically to find the answer and to determine what irritation affects it. Seemingly this court’s majority is the only agency holding the heretofore undisclosed key. I would permit the Commission to be the finders of facts, just as the Bradley Circuit Court did.
