Adams, J.
(dissenting). This case once again raises the problem of choice of remedies between *364the wrongful death act and the Workmen’s Compensation Act. I read the language of MCLA § 416.1 (Stat Ann 1968 Bev § 17.212), as did the trial judge. Once the provisions of MCLA § 416.1 (Stat Ann 1968 Bev § 17.212) come into play, the Workmen’s Compensation Act remedy against the employer is exclusive.
I vote to affirm the trial court, with costs to defendants-appellees.
