LIABILITY ACT TEST.
INTERVENTION BY U. S.
Supreme Court Permits 1t to Uphold
Constitntiona!itu of Lac.

Washington Feb. 4-The Supreme Court
granted to-day motion made by Attorney Cen
eral Bonaparte to permit the government to IN
tervene in the case of Damselle Howard against
the Illinois Central Railroad Company. The
court advanced the hearing in the case, setting
it for April S.
The case involves the cons -utionalty of the
Railroad Employers Liability act. passed at the
last session of Congress. II was tried by the
United States Circuit Court for the Western
District Of Tennessee, which held the first sec
ton Of the act. aboshing the fellow servant
rule to be unconstitutional The case is con-
sidered to be of great Importance, not only be-
cause Of the number of similar cases that have
arisen and viii arise. but because Of the prtnci-
pie involved Another case, that Of Brooks
against the Southern Pacific Railroad, involv-
Ing the same question was set for hearing at
the same time.
Mrs. Howard brought suit against the Illinois
Central Railroad Company IN the Circuit Court
Of the United States for the Western District Of
Tennessee to recover damages for the death of
William Howard. her son, who locomotive
fireman, the death, 1t was alleged being due 10
the negligent act Of the railroad, and claim
being based on the act of Congress known as
the Employers Liability act Judge Mccall,
following a similar decision by Judge Evans. of
the Western District Of Kentucky. sustained a
demurrer to the declaration fled by the railroad
company holding the act of Congress invalid
because unconstitutional Attorney General
Bonaparte, under the direction OF the President.
at once took up the matter and decided TO take
the question 10 the highest court, with the view,
If possible, OF having the decision reversed and
the act upheld.
Only once before II is said in the history Of
the Department of Justice has similar action
been taken by the administration. In the case
Of Johnson against the Southern Pacific COM
pany the decision of the lower court practically
nullifed the application Of the federal Safety
Appliance act. Intervention by the Attorney
General was granted by the Supreme Court.
The decision by Chief Justice Fuller in that
case reversed the action of the court below and
portant points. While that statute required GER
tain safety appliances TO protect the lives and
limbs OF certain employees engaged IN interstate
commerce, the Employers Liability act makes
liable the common carrier engaged in interstate
commerce for the negligent death or injury 4
fits employees.
The plaintiff in this case is Negro woman.
