162 N.E. 71 | Ind. Ct. App. | 1928
Appellant was employed by appellee, a foreign corporation, as a traveling salesman, and while working in the line of his employment in Dubois county, *510 he suffered an accidental injury for which he made application for compensation. At the hearing, appellee having entered a general appearance, the Industrial Board found that the evidence was insufficient to establish the fact that, at the time appellant received the injury, appellee was an Indiana employer, and that, therefore, the board was without jurisdiction. From an order of the board denying compensation, this appeal is prosecuted.
There is competent evidence to sustain the finding of the board that, at the time appellant received the injury, appellee was not an Indiana employer.
It is not contended that the compensation act gives the Industrial Board jurisdiction to adjust claims for others than Indiana employers. But, see Darsch v. Thearle
1-4. Duffield, etc., Co. (1922),
The Industrial Board found that appellee was not an Indiana employer at the time appellant received the injury, and having so found, it correctly held that it was without jurisdiction 5. of the cause.
Affirmed.
