BRATTON, Circuit Judge
(dissenting)
I think the controlling facts and circumstances in this case considered in their totality, are indistinguishably similar in effect to those appearing in American Oil Co. v. Fly, 5 Cir., 135 F.2d 491, 147 A.L.R. 824, and Glenn v. Standard Oil Co., 6 Cir., 148 F.2d 51. And whether the company and the operators' of the filling stations were partners or members of a joint venture, it seems reasonably clear to me that the relationship between them was not that of employer and employee, within the meaning of the Social Security Act, as amended, 49 Stat. 620, 639, 42 U.S.C.A. § 1101 et seq. American Oil Co. v. Fly, supra; 'Glenn v. Standard Oil Co., supra. It is my view that the judgment should be affirmed.
