LIABILITY ACT VOID
Railroads Not Responsible For
Negligence Of Employees.
an IMPORTANT DECISION

United States Supreme Court Decides
Against Law Making Railroads
AmenabIe For All Accident Dam
ages.
Washington. Jan. TN an opinion
by Justice White the supreme court OF
the United States held to be unconsti-
tutionsl the employers liability law"
which makes railroads and other com
mon carriers responsible To employees
In accidents due TO the negligence Of
fellow servants or to ineffective appli-
ances.
The decision OF the lower courts was
affirmed.
There were two cases before the
court. one of them that OF the admin
istratrix OF locomotive fireman killed
on the Illinois Central road near Mem.
phis. Tenn. and the other that OF the
Administrative OF fireman killed on
the southern Pacific road in Nevada.
The first case was tried in the
Unite States circuit court for the
western district Of Tennessee before
Judge Mccall and the other In the
United States circuit court for the
western district of Kentucky. with
Judge Walter Evans on the bench.
The railroads fought both cases In
the trial courts. and in each case OBJ
tanned a verdict on the ground OF the
unoonstitutionality OF the law.
Judges Evans and Mccall both hold
the law to be invalid on the double
ground that a congressional enactment
could not be made applicable to inter-
state commerce. and that protection
from accidents in interstate commerce
could not be construed as any part OF
commerce" of any kind.
The Kentucky and Tennessee deci-
sions are affirmed by Justice White on
the ground that the law is not confined
10 the regulation Of the business OF in
terstate carriers. but undertakes TO
regulate their dealings with their en-
plOyes.
The chief justice. Justice Brewer
and Justice Peckham Joined with Jus
tice White in the result arrived at. but
they did not follow him in his assertion
Of the power OF Congress to regulate
the relation between master and ser
want
Justice Day merely concurred In the
result. Justice Moody dissented en-
tirely. holding that the law Is constitu-
tional on all points.
