Here is a decision that will interest
railroad travellers generally as /. will
do away with the belief that person
can pre-empt a seat in passenger
coach by the simple process of depos~
iting his grip therein. The case in
which this decision was handed
down by the court Of appeals was
typical. A passenger placed his grip
in seat and went through into the
smoking car. When he returned an
other man occupied the seat and re-
fused to surrender 1t to the first oc-
cupant. The usual argument follow
ed, ending a quarrel in which the
men came to blows. abe court Of
appeals decided that the first conner
the seat; that passengers are not bag
did not have an inslienable right to
gage, and that placing OF baggage
on a seat does not confer title to
the seat, The decision is broad
enough to put stop to controverp
sizes Of this nature in the future.
