640 LAWS OF MARYLAND. [CH. 354

"Miscellaneous, " defining "Employee" and exempting
certain employments from the operations of said Article.

SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of
Maryland, That Section 65, Sub-division (3) of Article 101
of the Annotated Code of the Public General Laws of
Maryland, Edition of 1924, title "Workmen's Compensa-
tion, " sub-title "Miscellaneous, " be, and the same is hereby
repealed and re-enacted, with amendments, to read as fol-
lows:

65.

(3) "Employee" means a person who is engaged in an
extra-hazardous employment in the service of an employer,
carrying on or conducting the same upon the premises or
at a plant, or in the course of his employment away from
the plant of his employer, and shall not include farm lab-
orers. "Farm laborers, " as used in this Article, shall
mean any employees who, at the time of the accident, are
engaged in rendering any agricultural service, including
the threshing or harvesting of crops, or who, at the time
of the accident, are engaged in service incidental to and
in connection with agricultural pursuits or developments,
whether the employer be the farmer or other person un-
dertaking or contracting with the farmer to perform any
such agricultural service, pursuit or development. This
Article shall not apply to cutters of cord wood or fire
wood, farm laborers, domestic servants, nor to country
blacksmiths, wheelwrights or similar rural employments,
unless these employments elect to come under this Article
as provided in Section 33, nor in any case where the ac-
cident occurred before this Act takes effect, nor to casual
employees or any employees who are employed wholly
without the State. But for all purposes of this Article
casual, occasional or incidental employment outside of this
State by the Maryland employer of an employee or em-
ployees regularly employed by said employer within this
State shall be construed to be employment within this
State; provided, however, if an employee or the depend-
ents of an employee shall receive compensation or dam-
ages under the laws of any other State, nothing herein
contained shall be construed so as to permit a total com-
pensation for the same injury greater than is provided
for in this Article.

SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall
take effect on June 1st, 1933.

Approved April 21, 1933.
