Supreme Court Holds Employees Of
Railroads Cannot Do This.
Under a decision rendered recently
by Justice Hughes Of the United States
supreme court employees of railroads
in Iowa cannot sign away their right
to damages for injuries suffered
through the neglect Of their employers.
The fact that they may be members
of relief association and have signed
contracts relieving the railroads Of
liability for damages in case Of injury
does not affect their rights.
An Iowa law passed in 1893 estab-
lished this proposition. The constitu-
tionality of the law was attacked when
Charles L. Mcclure sued the Chicago.
Burlington and Quincy railroad COM
pany for $1,000 damages for injuries.
Mcclure had been given 1882 by the
Burlington relief department, an as
ISOLATION maintained by the railroad
and its employees, one Of the regula-
lions Of which was that employees
must elect between accepting relief
from it and pressing claim against
the company.
