Commission's finding that newspaper courier was not an employee was against manifest weight of evidence, given key factors that newspaper distributing company controlled actions of courier, designating when, how, and to whom newspapers were to be delivered, and controlled nature of work. Label of "independent contractor" in parties' written agreement was a minor factor to consider.
