January 20, 1920228 N.Y. 21
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division and remanded the case to the state industrial commission, holding that the commission lacked any evidence that anthrax was present in the hides or that the employee contracted it at work, and therefore could not award compensation under Section 21 of the Workmen’s Compensation Law.
