EMPLOYEE E CANNOT WAIVE
DAMAGES.

Philadelphia, Pa. in sustaining,
recently, the verdict Of Sl4 900 G. -
tanned by Arthur ii. Murray. tor-
mcrly Pullman porter against the
Reading Railway, ae damages for
personal injuries suat1ined, the Su-
prcme Court made several imDor-
tant rulings on the right Of an en-
ployce to be safely carried to his
destination the same as a regular
passenger On train. The claim
Of Murray has n vigorously
fought by the railway company,and
as last resort it produced the con-
tract Of employment between the
plaintiff and the Pullman Company
which contained a waiver of rights
to recover damages in the event of
an accident.
The accident occurred on No
vember q, 1911, when a train run
ming between Philadelphia and
Wllllansport, came to a stop at
Mahanoy Junction. Murray was
working on the last car. He al
legged that the stopping of the train
which was going at the rate of for
ty miles an hour, was so sudden
and violent that he was hurled a
distance, striking with his head
His spine was injured and paralysis
resulted. He has since been con-
fined to an invalid S chair.
Sustaining Judge Patterson's S ru1-
lngs, Justice Potter decided that the
waiver clause in the contract of en-
ployment of Pullman porter is not
available as defense in suit for
damages. He also upholds the
lower court for submitting to the
jury the question of the alleged
negligence Of the engineer in bring
Ing the train to sudden halt.
