¶3Section 871-38, General Code, is inapplicable. Bowes v.Industrial Commission, 123 Ohio St. 155, 174 N.E. 357;State, ex rel. Nichols, v. Gregory et al., IndustrialCommission, 130 Ohio St. 165, 198 N.E. 182; U.S.*92Wall Paper Co. v. Industrial Commission, 132 Ohio St. 372,7 N.E.2d 798.

¶5The writ will issue to control discretion only where there is an abuse thereof (State, ex rel. Gilder, v. IndustrialCommission, 100 Ohio St. 500, 127 N.E. 595; State, ex rel.Stahl, v. Industrial Commission, 135 Ohio St. 168,20 N.E.2d 347); where there is a duty specially enjoined by law (Section 12283, General Code); and where there is no adequate remedy at law (Section 12287, General Code).

Industrial Commission, 128 Ohio St. 410,191 N.E. 691; Section 1465-90, General Code. The last named section provides an adequate remedy at law in the event compensation is denied upon a ground enumerated therein.
