EMPLOYERS LIABILITY Ao7:
Tho Massachusetts Supreme Court De

Tho MassachuSetts Supreme Court De-
elarep that 1t IL NuEatory.
BOSTON. Nov. 29.-The Employers Liabil-
ity act, passed by the Massachusetts Legisla-
turo OF 1883. received blow to-day by the de-
cision Of the Supreme Court In the important
test case of Lucy Ryalls Rgt. Tho Mechanics
Mills Of Fall River. The action was based on
injuries received by the plaintiff on account
Of alleged defective machinery In the mills and
tho verdict OF the jury was in her favor In the
sum OF $7l860. The opinion OF the Supreme
Court, which was written by Judge Holmes. is
an elaborate review OF the common law rights
inherited from the English law, and while sus-
taiping the verdict on the ground that the
plaintiff was entitled to the same under COM
mon law remedy, the court practically decides
that the statute known as the Employers Liza
bility act is nuRatory. and that 1t is q cumula-
tive remedy. One paragraph In The opinion
reads as follows:
III the act does apply to such cases. then it
is the stronger reason for saying that its only
purpose is to extend tho common law liability
to the previously exc luded cases. and II the
object Is to make a rule which will reach ex-
tremes not Intended by the common law. the
fact that this is done by Il new and broader
rule. the terms Of which are necessarily wide
enough TO include the narrower common law
rule. does not show an intention to prejudice
rights which the statute was not needed to
create"
