Agnes Gustafson v. Ziesmer & Vorlander

Workmen's compensation -- nature and status of compensation proceeding -- substitution of dependent for deceased employe. 1. When an employe dies while attempting to enforce his claim under the workmen's compensation act, the dependent widow need not start a new proceeding to urge her rights but may have her name substituted for that of her husband in the proceedings begun by him. Facts of case construed so as to prevent more than one proceeding.
