the negligence OF any other agent or
servant. Contributory negligence
may be shown in the defense. Sup
erintendents of railroads are made
vice principals of such corporations,
and are not fellow servants with
employees. Persons engaged in the
common service of a railroad work.
ing together to a common purpose
are made fellow servants. Railroads
are prohibited from making contracts
limiting their liability under the
provisions of the act. One provision
of the act, which was added as an
amendment, Is not much relished by
the railway employees, who have
been urging the passage Of the law
for five years. 1t is as follows:
