The decision that the question of DAMAGES

settled by the general law on tho subject.
and not by the law of the State where the
cause of action arises. he thinks IS an in
dication of the purpose of the supreme JUDI
ciary TO encroach on State authority. There
are laws providing damages nnder what is
known as the coemploye liability provision
in Ohio. Indiana, Colorado Georgia, and
perhaps one OF two other States. The rail-
road companies have bitterly opposed these
enactments. and in some instances encum-
bered them with amendments. such vas
