## Opinion text

*627 Concurring and Dissenting Opinion
by Judge MacPhail :
I join in that part of the majority’s opinion and order which would grant the Claimant workmen’s compensation benefits for total disability but I respectfully dissent from that part thereof which would award counsel fees. I believe there is substantial evidence in this case from which the referee could and did conclude that there was a reasonable basis for the Employer to contest the claim for counsel fees.
