On June 20, 1940, one Russell Harding met with an accident while in the employ of the individual defendants doing business as Sunland Dairy. The commission was the insurance carrier for the employers. As a result of the injury received, the employee died. He had been working for the dairy company for more than one month, under an oral contract of hire guaranteeing a wage of $75 per month, plus 4% commission on all sales. His earnings or wages for the month mounted to the sum of $331.56, including the $75 and 4% commissions.
