SUPREME COURT
DECISION IN FELLOW SERVANT,
CASE.
Railroad Company Not Liable to Fire,
, man for Negligence Of Tele-
graph Operator.


Washington. May 1.-THE supreme
court of the United States yesterday
laid down the principle that tele-
graph operator for railroad company
and fireman on railroad engine are
fellow servants" and that the negli
gence of the former causing the death
of the latter in the operation OF trains
was risk the fireman assumed and.
was not a ground for damages against
the railroad company
The case was that of Allne A..
Dixon against the Northern Pacific,
railroad for damages for the death of
her husband, c. A. Dixon, fireman on
the road, killed In collision caused
by the negligence of a telegraph op-,
eratUr.
The opir.on delivered by Justice,
Brewer answered two questions GER,
titled from the United States circuit
court of appeals for the eighth circuit
as follows:
T.rst, when local telegraph ope-j
rator is called upon specifically by
train dispatcher to give information
relative to the arrival of a train at his
station, to enable the dispatcher to
formulate orders fer the movement Of,
other trains. does the local. operator
in the matter of giving such informa-
tion act as a fellow servant of train
operations in such sense that the mas
ter Is not liable to train operatives
who are injured in obeying an erro-
neCus order of the dispatcher that was
induced by false information given by
the local OPERATOR"
The answer to the question is:
The telegraph operator was, under
the circumstances described, fellow,
servant of the fireman"
Second. is the negligence OF local
telegraph operator and station agent
of a railway company, in observing
and reporting by telegraph to the
train dispatcher the movement of
trains past his station, which causes.
the injury or death Of n fireman of the,
company, without any fault or negli-
gence of the train dispatcher, the neg
ligence of vice principal for which
the railway company is liable in dam
ages to the fireman or to his personal
representatives. or is IT the negligence
Of a fellow servant of the fireman the
risk of which the latter assumes?"
Answer-"The negligence of the op-
orator was the negligence of fellow
servant of the fireman, the risk of
which the latter assumed"
A dissenting opinion was delivered
by Justice White and concurred in by
the Chief Justice and Justices Harlan.
and McKenna In this dissenting opin-,
ion the view was expressed that the.
operator was the agent of the en-.
ployer, and as such his negligence rem.
dered the employer liable for damage
or death caused thereby.
The opinion was further expressed
that the courts decision would create.
