Majority

p. 840
In the Matter of the Claim of Peter Seckler, Respondent, against Morris Storage Company, Inc., and Another, Appellants. State Industrial Board, Respondent.

Appeal involves wage rate. Wages before the injuries were thirty-six dollars a week. The Board found that earnings were reduced twenty-five per cent, or nine dollars, because of the injuries. The award was for eight dollars a week, as the minimum under subdivision 6, section 15, of the Workmen’s Compensation Law. The carrier argues that the award should be six dollars a week, or sixty-six and two-thirds per cent of the amount of the reduction. Award unanimously affirmed, with costs to the State Industrial Board. Present — Hill, P. J., Rhodes, McNamee, Crapser and Bliss, JJ.
