200 A.D. 244 | N.Y. App. Div. | 1922
The employee, for whose death an award has been made to the claimants, was employed as a bartender in a saloon conducted by his employer. While washing a bottle which was used at the bar he sustained a cut from the breaking of the bottle, and thereafter died from an infection which set in at the site of the cut. The business of the employer was hazardous provided four or more workmen or artisans were employed by him. He employed a general manager, a chauffeur, a porter and three bartenders.. The point taken by the appellants is that bartenders are neither workmen nor artisans within group 45 of the Workmen’s Compensation Law,
The award is reversed and the claim dismissed.
All concur.
