1352 LAWS OF MARYLAND. [CH. 773

SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Mary-
land, That Section 80 of Article 101 of the Annotated Code of
Maryland (1939 Edition), title "Workmen's Compensation",
sub-title "Miscellaneous", be and it is hereby repealed and
re-enacted, with amendments, to read as follows:

80. Definitions as used in this Article:

(1). "Extra-hazardous employment" means a work or oc-
cupation described in Section 33 of this Article.

(2) "Employer", except when otherwise expressly stated,
means a person, partnership, association, corporation, and
the legal representatives of a deceased employer, or the re-
ceiver or trustee of a person, partnership, association or
corporation employing workmen in extra-hazardous em-
ployments.

(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 laborers.
"Farm laborers" as used in this Article, shall mean any em-
ployees 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 agri-
cultural pursuits or developments, whether the employer be
the farmer or other person undertaking or contracting1 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 employ-
ments, unless these employments elect to come under this
Article as provided in Section 44, nor in any case where the
accident 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, occa-
sional or incidental employments outside of this State by the
Maryland employer of an employee or employees regularly
employed by said employer within this State shall be con
strued to be employment within this State; provided, however,
if an employee or the dependents of an employee shall receive
compensation or damages under the laws of any other State,
nothing herein contained shall be construed so as to permit
a total compensation for the same injury greater than is pro-
vided for in this Article.

(4) "Employment" includes employment only in a trade,
business or occupation carried on by the employer for pecuni-
ary gain.
