WADE, Justice
(concurring).
I concur, but wish to point out that subdivision (28) to section 42-la-28, U. C. A. 1943, which was added by the 1949 amendment, requires more than a mere causal connection between the disease and the employment. The disease or injury must directly arise as a natural incident of the employment. It further provides for compensation only if all six of the conditions enumerated in the main opinion are found to exist.
I agree that upon review by this court, limited as it is by statute and our previous decisions, we cannot conclude that the finding of the Commission was unreasonable and arbitrary and not based on evidence. The evidence was not such that the Commission was compelled to find that the injury was caused by and arose as a natural incident of the employment, even though it could have so found.
CROCKETT, J., concurs in the opinion of McDONOUGH, J., and also in the views expressed by WADE, J.
