Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York May 15, 1936 (Claim Made By the State Commissioner of Taxation & Finance v. Grain Handling Corp.)

Appeal from an award of the State Industrial Board upon a death claim. The employer was engaged in the business of unloading ships carrying grain, in the city of Buffalo, and furnishing men to do that work. The decedent was a shoveler or “ seooper,” who took part in the unloading. It was necessary to do some work on the dock, as well as on the ship, in placing the mechanism used in the work.
