## Opinion text

SCHWAB, C. J.,
dissenting.
After working for employer in Oregon for a total of three days, claimant was transferred to the State of Washington where he had been working for six months at the time of his injury. As of the hearing date no termination date for the Washington job had been established, and the record indicates that claimant intended to keep working on the Washington job until it was completed. Under such circumstances to say that claimant was employed in Oregon, and only temporarily out of the state incidental to his Oregon employment is akin to saying "small tails wag large dogs” — even given the doctrine of liberal construction of workers’ compensation laws.
I would reverse.
