United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit.

December 14, 1948.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

J. Edwin Smith, of Houston, Tex., and A. L. Bevil, of Kountze, Tex., for appellant.

Marion Phillips and William C. Harvin, both of Houston, Tex., for appellee.

Before HOLMES, WALLER, and LEE, Circuit Judges.

WALLER, Circuit Judge.

This is an action for death benefits under the Workmen's Compensation Act of Texas, brought by the widow of F. B. Bartle, who, prior to his death, was a distributing agent of the Gulf Refining Company at Conroe, Texas. The Refining Company, asserting that Bartle was an independent contractor, denies that any employer-employee, or master-servant, relationship existed, and thus is raised the chief issue in the case.
