At New Haven the Connecticut SUI
preme court OF errors Tuesday after
noon handed down decision in favor
OF the New York. New Haven and
Hartford Railroad company in the
cases Of William ri. Hoxie and Edgar
Z. Mondou, actions in damages, find
ing no error. In effect this means that
the court by unanimous opinion de-
clares that the employers liability act.
passed by congress on April 22, 1905,
is Unconstitutional.
In the Hoxie case, after the railroad
as the defendant In the superior court
had set up the plea that the action in
parallel case of MondOu, who also was
railroad brakeman injured while
coupling cars, the federal government
interviewed with plea to uphold the
constitutionality of the act, the depart
rnent of justice being represented by
special attorney The arguments
were made at New Haven last month,
The opinion was written by Chief
Justice Baldwin. The case was an ac-
ton OF William H. Hoxie, train
hand, for injury on the railroad Of the
defendant corporation at Auburn,
Mass. The complaint alleged that
while coupling cars the plaintiff was
hurt, due to the negligence of a fellow
servant in control of antoher train
running between ftartIOfQ and WOE-
cester, and he claimed damages under
the federal liability act relating to the
liability of common carriers by rail-
roads engaged in commerce between
states. A demurrer to the complaint
was sustained In judgment rendered
for the plaintiff. The decision upholds
Judge Ralph Wheeler Of the superior
court, who had declared unconstitu-
tional the act in question in the Mon
dou case.
In his opinion, Chief Justice Bald
win says:
The act of congress now in question
creates statutory right of action. 1t
is one not existing in comron law, nor
in chancery 1t is one which, If war
ranted by the constitution of the Unit
ed States. may, under their general
laws regulating the jurisdiction of the
circuit courts of the United States,
Whenever damages exceeding $4,000
are claimed, be made the subject OF
judicial proceedings IN the courts of
the United States as a suit of civil
nature arising under the laws of the
United States, without reference to the
citizenship of the parties.
Two questions present themselves
ait the threshold of the present case.
First, is whether congress intended
by this act to authorize the institution
of an action under it in the courts of
the state. The second is whether, II
such were its intentions. 1t had power

WANTS PRIVILEGE TO CHANGE
BRIDGE APPROACHES.
Layout Regarding New Railroad Bridge
at New London Before Legislative
Committee.

Hartford, July 2O.-The New York.
New Haven and Hartford Railroad
company's lawyers have discovered
that there is in its charter nothing
which will make 1t possible for the
railroad to come to the railroad COM
missioners of the state and ask for
approval OF its new layout Of approach
es to the new railroad bridge which it
is to build just above the present draw
bridge over the Thames at New Lon
don, and therefore a bill giving this
right has been drawn and the railroad
committee was asked at hearing held
on it this afternoon to report this bill
as a committee measure.
1t was explained by Attorneys Rob-
inson and Spock for the road that fhe
plan is to build new four-track roller
lift bridge about 100 feet above the
present bridge and that this plan had
been approved by Major Taylor, the
engineer officer in charge OF the district
for the federal government. 1t will be
necessary to change the approaches
from those of the present bridge on
both sides Of the river, but there is no
present plan on the part of the COM
pany to build tracks over a new route
around back OF New London and moth
ing of that sort is covered in the bill
referred to.
The old bridge is to be left where it
is and to be transformed into q high
way bridge by the substitution of q
roller lift draw on one side of the
present swing draw, the other side to
be closed by permanent span. Plans
for the whole work similar to those
which have been approved by Major
Taylor and are now before the war de-
partment for approval were displayed
to the committee, of which Represent
ative Crane of Groton Is a member
and Representative Cronin of New
London was present to look after the
interests of his town.
According TO these plans the new
draw will give a space of but $50 feet
in the clear, while the present draw
gives space Of 200 feet on both sides
of the central pier, which seemed to
Mr.. Crane likely to cause the road
trouble, but that is not the business
of the state government. The fact that
Mr.. Robinson stated that the road
didn't want the plan blocked for two
years gives reason to believe that the
new bridge is to be built soon.
