The opinion

Carleton Harris, Chief Justice, dissenting. Our rule to the effect that we will affirm the holding of the Workmen’s Compensation Commission, if there is any substantial evidence to support its ruling, is so well established as to require no citation of authority.

I consider that the testimony of Dr. Alfred Kahn, who testified that, in his opinion, Mr. Dougan’s work did not contribute to his death, was substantial evidence, and entirely sufficient to support the findings of the commission.

I therefore respectfully dissent.

Smith, J., joins in dissent.
