The federal court at Sioux Falls

The federal court at Sioux Falls
has upheld the South Dakota en-
ployer's liability law, by allowing
damages of $4,000 to Mrs. Westby
of Madison, whose husband, an
employe of the Milwaukee & st.
Paul Ry. Co., was killed in the
railroad yards at Madison. The
defense of the railroad company
was that the man lost his life
through the negligence of fellow
employees, and that the employ
ers liability law was unconstitu-
tional, but the court sustained the
law. The supreme court has never
passed upon this act as state
law, but similar law passed as a
federal statute under the inter
state commerce clause of the con-
stitution was declared unconstitu-
tional on the ground that it under
