Description
Action instituted by the plaintiff Bruno Scholz pursuant to section 102.23, Stats., against the defendants Art Hanson and
his insurance carrier, Employers Mutual Liability Insurance Company (hereinafter referred to as 'Employers Mutual') to review
an order of the Industrial Commission dismissing plaintiff's application for workmen's compensation benefits. In 1947, the plaintiff Scholz, who resided at or near the unincorporated village of Gleason in Oneida county, started in
the bulldozing business. He owned two bulldozers and also a truck by means of which he transported them from place to place.
He employed two employees to operate the bulldozers and contracted such bulldozers out to do bulldozing work on an hourly
basis, Scholz supplying the operators. Scholz carried a policy of workmen's compensation insurance with Employers Mutual on
such two employee operators. Scholz had a contract carrier's permit from the Publice Service Commission to operate such truck
and there was painted on the sides of such truck Scholz' name and address, his permit number, and the words 'Hauling and bulldozing'.
The defendant Hanson is a farmer and logger also residing near Gleason, who engages in logging operations during the winter.
During 1948, Scholz did some bulldozing work for Hanson, and also with his truck hauled some pulpwood for Hanson. Sometime
in December, 1949, Hanson entered into a verbal agreement with Scholz whereby Scholz was to transport with his truck pulpwood
and logs for Hanson from the logging operations in the woods to mills in Merrill which had purchased such pulpwood from Hanson,
and Scholz was to receive therefor a fixed price per cord for pulpwood, and a fixed price per thousand feet for the logs,
so hauled. At that time Hanson had no truck of his own and Scholz was to do such hauling during all of Hanson's logging operations
until the end of the season in the spring.
