count OF injuries and death resulting
from the collapse and subsequent fire
In the RUIZ drug store building on June
20, when thirty eight persons were
crushed or burned to death and large
number injured.
The ground upon which this action
Is based is the phrasing Of the law,
which says the employer is liable for
compensation to his employees on ac-
count Of injuries or death arising lin
the course of and out Of the employ
ment"
There are something like score o!
