Court Decisions Favor Labor.

The Minnesota supreme court has
rendered two important decisions re-
lating to damages for Industrial acci-
dents One opinion entirely repudi-
ates the heretofore understood "as-
sumption Of risk" on the part Of the
employees, and it is held that employ
ers must provide all possible safe
guards against accidents. The second
decision eliminates the fellow serv-
ant" rule as formerly interpreted and
means that an employer is liable IN
the event Of an employee being In
jured on account Of the negligence o.
carelessness Of 4 fellow employee.
