LANGTRY, J.,
specially concurring.
I agree that the Oregonian Publishing Company had *448no contractual relationships between itself and its newsboy, Oremus. For this reason, I agree that decisions such as Landberg v. State Industrial Acc. Com., 107 Or 498, 215 P 594 (1923), quoted in the opinion of the court, prevail. However, I agree with the dissent insofar as it says that it is not realistic to allow the publishing company to insulate itself from the usual burdens of an employer in its relationships with its newsboys. That is a legislative matter. We must decide this ease in accordance with established legal precepts.
