COURT DECISION IN BURNS CASE
SHOWS NEW INTERPRETATION
or FEDERAL LAW.
Is BASED ON UNITED
STATES COURT RULING
Highest Court Holds in Railroad Case.
interpreting the Federal Employers
Liability Law, That Only Those
Engaged in Interstate Traffic Come
Under Protection Of v. s. Statute.

Interpretation Of the interstate COM
merce law affecting the liability Of en-
ployers. which has been for number
OF years Of vital Importance especially
to railroads and their employees, was
given by Judge Cummings in the dis
trict court this forenoon and puts a
new meaning into the law in keeping
with earlier decisions Of the United
States supreme court. The courts rul-
ing was in the case Of William Burns
vs.. the Minneapolis & st. Louis rail-
road. an action to recover $1,000 for
personal injury.
The essence Of the courts ruling in
Diminishing the case and Of the United
States supreme courts ruling, which 1t
followed, especially in the Winner case.
Is that there is no longer such a wide
application of the law as was first fixed
by the United States supreme court.
The limitations fixed constitute the i'm
portance in the change.
Must Be interstate Work.
Briefly summed up, the United States
supreme court ruled, prior to the local
trials Of the Myles Kelleher case, that
any railroad employee who was engaged
in any labor touching any equipment or
property that was engaged In Interstate
traffic, came under the protection Of
the federal employer liability act. In
one case. to illustrate the point, It was
held. that q section hand engaged in
repairing track that was used by trains
running from one state to another, was
engaged In Interstate traffic and had
under the interstate law of compensa-
ton. On this theory It was argued that
Kelleher, who operated train in two
states, should have brought his action
under the federal statute.
Since then the United States supreme
court has greatly modified it's interpre-
tation. In the Winner case, for In
stance, it held that workman was not
to be considered as coming under the
protection Of the federal law unless he
was injured while engaged in labor
on equipment or property that at the
time Of his injury, was actually In use
in Interstate traffic. Such a case would
be, for example. Of a mechanic injured
while repairing locomotive or car
which vaa stopped while running be-
tween two states to be repaired.
Burns Hurt In Round House.
It was argued by the railroad lawyer
in support Of a motion flled this fore
noon to dismiss the Burns case after
the plaintiffs testimony was all in, that
Burns was not employed in Interstate
traffic. He was injured in the round
house here in October, 1914. while re-
pairing a locomotive but It had not
been shown that the locomotive had
been stopping here for repair while on
an interstate run.
Judge Cummings took this view OF
the case and dismissed the suit.

Try This If You
Have Dandruff

There 10 one sure way that never fails
to remove dandrufr completely and that
is to dissolve it. This destroys 1t en-
tirely. To do this, just get about four
ounces Of plain, ordinary liquid arvon ;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub 1t
in gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most, IL not all. of your
dandruff will be gone. and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace Of it, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging Of the scalp will stop instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous.
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. It is inexpensive, and four ounces
is all you will need. This simple rem
edy has never been known to fail.
