Not a "laborer" for the purposes of a statutory exemption. 31 Am J2d Exemp § 20. The principal test in determining whether one rendering services for another is an independent contractor is whether the employer has the right to control the details of the work, although the place of the work, the time of the employment, the method of payment, and the right of summary discharge, are also to be considered. Huebner v Industrial Com. 234 Wis 239, 290 NW 145, 126 ALR 1113.
