IT is NOT CONSTITUTIONAL.
Employers Liability Law Is Declared
Invalid.

Washington, Jan. 6.-That the Con-
gressional act of June IL, 1906, known
as the Employers Liability Law" is
not in accordance with the Constitution
of the United States because it goes be-
yond the bounds permitted in the regu-
lation of interstate commerce was the
conclusion reached by the Supreme
Court of the United States in deciding
two damage cases coming into the
court from the Federal Courts in Ken
lucky and Tennessee, which were
brought under the provision of the law.
ON NARROW MARGIN.
The decision was announced by JUS
tice White and was reported by the mar
row margin of one, the court standing
five to four against the law. Even
among the five who voted not to sustain
the statute, there were different shades
of opinion.
The law in question makes railroads
and other common carriers responsible
to employees in accidents due to the neg
ligence of fellow servants or to ineffec-
tive appliances. The decision of the
lower court was affirmed.
| TWO CASES BEFORE COURT.
There were two cases before the
court, involving the question of the val
idity of the law, one of them being the
case of Damille Howard, administrative
of her husband, Will Howard, a loco
motive fireman, who was killed in an
accident of the Illinois Central road near
Memphis, Tenn, and the other, that of
N. c. Brooks, administrative and moth
er of Morris S. Brooks, fireman, who
was killed on the Southern Pacific road
in Nevada. The Howard case was tried
IN the United States Circuit Court for
the Western District of Tennessee and
the Brooks case in the United States
Circuit Court for the Western District
of Kentucky. In the former case dam
ages amounting to $500 were de-
manded, while in the latter, the sum
was fixed at $50, 200. The railroads
fought both cases strenuously, both in
the trial courts and in the Supreme
Court, and in each case obtained a YER
dict against the complainant on the
ground of unconstitutionality of the
law. Both of the Kentucky and Tennes-
see decisions were affirmed by Justice
Whites opinion on the ground that the
law is not confined to the regulation of
business of interstate carriers, but IN
dertakes 20 regulate their dealings with
their employees.
