Act, Cannot Sue Third Par
ty, Court Rules.

Washington. Jam. 1S.-The supreme
court today construed the Washington
state workmen't compensation law as
abolishing all damage action in the
courts by workmen in the hazardous
~employments covered by the law,
whether against employers or against

The decision was in a case in which
the widow and children of Benjamin
Meese sued the Northern Pacific rail-
road for alleged negligent killing of
Meese, an employee of a brewery, at
Seattle, alongside the railroad tracks.
The district court held the compen-
sation law abolished all actions for
damages, and dismissed the suit, but
the circuit court of appeals held that
it abolished litigation only of employees
against their employers. The supreme
court today upheld the district courts
Interpretation and reverses the circuit
court of appeals.
