Alfred Enyard v. Consolidated Underwriters

This is a proceeding under the Workmen's Compensation Act and involves a claim by Alfred Enyard against Scullin Steel Company,
his former employer; American Automobile Insurance Company and Consolidated Underwriters, insurors; for compensation on account
of an occupational disease, namely, silicosis. The Referee found claimant totally and permanently disabled and made an award
in his favor. The award was against Scullin Steel Company and Consolidated Underwriters as the employer's insuror and in favor
of American Automobile Insurance Company. The Industrial Commission affirmed the award of the Referee and on appeal to the
Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis the award of the Industrial Commission was affirmed. The appeal from the judgment of
the Circuit Court to this court was taken by the Scullin Steel Company, employer, and the Consolidated Underwriters, insuror.
We shall refer to Alfred Enyard as claimant, to Scullin Steel Company as Scullin, to Consolidated Underwriters as Consolidated
and to American Automobile Insurance Company as American. The original claim for compensation was filed August 4, 1960. In it claimant alleged that while employed by Scullin he sustained
an occupational disease, silicosis. He alleged the name of the insuror to be American Automobile Insurance Company; that the
date of disability was April 1960; and that he was disabled "since April 1960." On January 24, 1961, claimant filed an amended
claim for compensation and in it he alleged that the insurors of Scullin were (1) American Automobile Insurance Company; and
(2) Consolidated Underwriters. He reiterated the allegations contained in his original claim concerning disability and the
date thereof and again stated that disability existed "since April 1960."
