Opinion
November 14, 1951.
Appeal from Workmen's Compensation Board.
Present — Foster, P.J., Heffernan, Brewster, Bergan and Coon, JJ.
Claimant was transferred from a job as a machine operator to a job as a millwright's helper about a year before his disability. The Workmen's Compensation Board has found that in the latter job claimant was required to "lift, carry, push and pull heavy objects, thereby subjecting himself to repeated traumas and strains to his back * * * and he became disabled as a result of a herniated intervertebral disc, an occupational disease." This finding is amply sustained by the evidence as to the facts, and by prior decisions as to the law. ( Matter of Piparo v. Klar, 273 App. Div. 935; Matter of Buchanan v. Bethlehem Steel Co., 278 App. Div. 594; Matter of Paradiso v. Vuozzo, 277 App. Div. 802, motion for leave to appeal denied 301 N.Y. 815.) Award unanimously affirmed, with costs to the Workmen's Compensation Board.
