ing between the first and second decision a final award was made against the petitioner for $583.24, and the further sum of $20.83 per week. On May 15, 1923, the second decision was also amended by the addition of the following:

The applicant applied to the Commission for the adjustment of his claim for compensation based on an injury sustained by him while he was reshingling a roof. It appears "The work contemplated upon which the emhe is a carpenter by trade, and was engaged ployee was engaged at the time of his injury by the Reverend Albert R. Bandini, a pastor 10 working days and at a labor cost of less than was to have been completed in not exceeding of the Roman Catholic Church in the coun- $100, and was after the injury to the applicant try territory which extended five miles out actually completed within such period and cost, of the city of Stockton. The headquarters and the applicant's employment was therefore of the pastor were at St. Michael's Church, casual. * Defendant Rev. Fr.

Shortly after 12 o'clock of the second day,

in preparing to descend from the roof, the footing gave way, and he fell about 20 feet to the ground striking on his feet. The injuries he sustained were fractured bones in both feet and some injury to the muscles and ligaments in the left lower part of the It was found that he is totally disabled. The pastor was named as defendant in the application before the Industrial Accident Commission. Findings and an award were filed on October 19, 1922, at the first hearing, in effect as follows: That the applicant sustained injury occurring in the course of and arising out of his employment, and that the work of reshingling the roof of the chapel was not contemplated to be com

pleted within 10 working days, the employment was not casual, and an award of $270.79 was made against the pastor, with the weekly sum of $20.83 until the termination of the disability or the further order of the Commission. A petition for rehearing was granted by the Commission, based on the contentions that the employment was casual, that the applicant was an independent contractor, and that there is newly discovered evidence. On December 6, 1922, the petitioner was joined as a proper party to the proceeding before the Commission upon the ground that he held the legal title to the property upon which the applicant was em

The record before the Commission upon

which the findings, amended and additional findings, and amended award were based shows that the applicant, on June 6, 1922, went to the free bureau of employment in the city of Stockton, and there secured a shingling job at the said Roman Catholic chapel at Linden. The pastor discussed with applicant the proposed job of reshingling, and after the terms were agreed upon he drove him out to the chapel. The applicant he testified he was to be paid $8 per day; started work shortly after the noon hour; of the church was to be reshingled, and the that it was a repair job, and the entire roof batten board and the ridge board were to be fixed; that the shingles were already at the church and supplied by the pastor; that the job called for 25,000 shingles; that he supplied his own tools, but that the ladders and scaffolds were already there; that he understood the pastor was bossing the job; that nothing was said about the total cost of the work, nor concerning the number of days he was to be employed, nor about retaining him on the job until it was completed, but he understood his employment was simply to be until he finished. "Q. Were you not supposed to complete the job out there? A. Not that I know of; I thought he might fire me like he did the first man. He started me off

on the work. I was to roof the church in the

regular way. Q. When were you to be paid
