<br />Workmen's compensation case. The
<br />14th District Court, Dallas County, Fred S.
<br />Harless, J., found claimant was partially
<br />disabled for two years, and compensation
<br />carrier appealed. The Court of Civil Ap-
<br />peals, Bateman, J., held that where com-
<br />pensation carrier did not deny wage. rate
<br />pleaded by claimant and did not show that
<br />it ,could not determine truth of allegations
<br />of wage rate from re.cords or other reliable
<br />information available, compensation carrier
<br />could not attack validity of rule providing
<br />that wage rate, if pleaded, should be pre-
<br />sumed true on ground that rule denied due
<br />process to compensation carrier by requir-
<br />ing it to file sworn denial of facts which
<br />compensation carrier could know only from
<br />hearsay.

<br />Rule providing that wage rate, if

<br />nied was not unconstitutional on its face
<br />and could be unconstitutional only to ex-

<br />process by requiring compensation carrier
<br />to file sworn denial of facts known only
<br />from hearsay. Rules of Civil Procedure,

<br />Where compensation carrier filed gen-
<br />eral denial but did not deny wage rate
<br />pleaded by claimant and did not show that
<br />it could not determine truth of anegations
<br />of wage rate from records or other reliable
<br />information available, compensation carrier
<br />could not attack validity of rule providing
<br />that wage rate, if pleaded, should be pre-
<br />sumed true on ground that rule denied due

<br />ing it to file sworn denial of facts which
<br />compensation carrier could know only frQm

<br />tion pending on effective date of rule is in

<br />action for compensation where pleadings
<br />had been on file several months before en-
<br />actment of rule and rule had been enacted
<br />four months before trial beg~n. Vernon's
