This and other courts of the United States have held that the various-compensation acts should be liberally construed so that the benefits thereof should not be denied upon technical, narrow and strict interpretation. The primary consideration is compensation for injured employees. We think the judgment of the court below correct — that the State Hospital employee, Tessie Barbour, deceased, was not a “farm laborer” in contemplation of the statute.

The judgment of the court below is
Affirmed.
