ments on the defendants demurrer 10 the

tin Kasadarian VS.. The James Hill Man
ufacturing company This is an action for
negligence where the plaintiff was injured
while employed as laborer In the de-
fendant company's place on Westfeld
street.
Plaintiff when ne was hired by the
agent OF the company was set TO do Ia
borers work such as carrying out waste
and scrap unloading teams and doing
work where there was no machinery To-
wards the latter end of his employment
before the accident he received instruc-
tions 10 aid when called on 20 so do any
one employed as a die-sstter He mad af-
ter this order on two occasions 10 carry
dies and also TO hold them IN the ma
chimes until they were permanently fas-
tened.
On July Goth, 1902. TIE piainun was
working at grindstone. smoothing the
edges OF some rings which had been
roughened and was called by die-setter
to assist In setting a die on the machine
on which ne was soon after Injured. As
the plaintiff wanted 10 get the rings done
he waited until the foreman ordered him
to 20 with the die-setter.
Some time later the die-setter said there
had been "A mistake In setting the die and
in accordance with the orders of the die
setter plaintiff put his hands into the
press under the plunger and grapsed the
die so that when the bolts which held II
were loosened II would not slide out OF the
machine and onto the floor This was the
usual and proper way OF taking out the
die. At about the same time that the
plaintiff took hold OF the die with his
hands for some reason unknown to the
plaintiff. the plunger descended and crush
ed all the fingers off both hands so that
later on the same day they were am
putated.
There are six grounds OF demurrer.
viz. First. that IL appears I'm each OF the
counts in plaintiffs declaration that the
duty alleged was not duty owed by the
defendant to the plaintiff. second. that
IL appears in each OF said counts that the
alleged negligence was not the proximate
cause OF the injury: third. that II appears
I'm each count that the plaintiff announced
the risk OF an obvious danger: fourth.
that 10 appears from each count that the
plaintiff assumed the risk a. one OF the
risks OF his employment: NTH, that II
appears that the plaintiff was guilty OF
contributory negligence and sixth. that
it appears from each count that the de-
fendant was not negligent.
