NEW YORK. Dec. 19-The federal
employers liability act was tested IN
the New York county courts for the first
time today when a jury decided that un-
der It's provisions, Terrence Burtnett was
entitled to $40, 900 from the Erie rail
road because he lost q foot while serv-
ing as brakeman in the Interstate ser
vice of this line.
Counsel FOR the brakeman declared
that BURNETT was thrown from the top
OF a freight car when the engineer ap-
piled the air brakes too violently. The
railroad attorneys said that the accI-
dent was due To the ley condition OF the
cnr and OF Burtuetts negligence.
Under the federal act the pialntlff
counsel contended that the brakeman
was entitled TO recovery even II he was
guilty OF negligence. but in that event
the damage would be reduced TO the ex-
ten. to which the jury found the brake
mans negligence contributed TO the re-
suit Justice Delaney. who pTesid ed
