Description
We consider here an appeal from an order of the circuit court of Cook County affirming a decision of the board of review for
the Department of Labor that Pipe Trades, Inc., was, during the year 1948, an employer liable for payment of contributions
under the Unemployment Compensation Act. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1947, chap. 48, pars. 217-250, incl.; Jones Ann. Stat. 45.128.)
The appellant is actually Eusebius J. Biggs, who became the sole owner of Pipe Trades, Inc., in 1949, and who appears in this
court pro se as the assignee of the company; the appellees are the Department of Labor, certain of its officers, and one Norbert
J. Muller, whose claim for unemployment compensation precipitated the action. The record discloses that Muller filed his claim during the benefit year which began April 1, 1949, and the deputy of the
Department who processed it issued a finding that Muller had earned no wages in insured work in 1948. Muller carried the matter
to the referee of the Department contending that he had earned more than $225 in wages while employed by Pipe Trades during
that year and that Pipe Trades was an employer within the definition of the act. After a hearing, the referee reversed the
deputy and entered a decision that Pipe Trades was an employer, that it was liable for contributions and that Muller had earned
in excess of $1000 in wages during the last two quarters of 1948. Upon appeal to the Board of Review and upon administrative
review in the circuit court of Cook County, the decision entered by the referee was adhered to.
