## Opinion text

PRICE, J.,
dissenting: I am in general accord with what is said in the dissenting opinion of Mr. Justice Schroeder, but wish merely to add these few words:
In my opinion the allegations of the second amended petition are subject to but one construction — and that is that the sole proximate cause of plaintiffs injuries was the negligence of her fellow employee in dropping the gallon bottle to the floor. The demurrer was properly sustained.
