ent, vs.. Great Northern Railway
Company, q Foreign Corporation,
Defendant and Appellant.
+ Syllabus:
% An employee of an interstate
railway carrier, who is injured while
removing snow from a track over
which interstate trains are being run
regularly, is engaged in interstate
employers liability act of congress of
April %, 1908.
(2) The federal employers liability
act abolished the doctrine of contribu-
tory negligence as a bar to recovery,
and established the doctrine Of COM
parative negligence.
(3) Under the federal employers
liability act, the damages recoverable
by an employee guilty Of 'contributory
negligence bear "the same relation to
the full amount as the negligence at
tributable, to the carrier bears to the
entire negligence attributable to
BOTH F.
Where the causual negligence
is. partly attributable to the employer,
the contributory negligence of the
employee will not defeat recovery, but
only lessen the damages. It is only
when the employees act is the sole
cause-when the employers act is no
part of the causation-that the m
ployer is free from liability under the
federal employers liability act.
(5) 1t is negligence for which the
| master may be held responsible, il
knowing Of any peril which is known
to the servant also, he fails to rernove
it in accordance with assurances
made by him to the servant hat he
will do SO. ="

Control association will be held in
Valley City tomorrow evening for the
purpose of outlining legislation neces-
sary to make North Dakota a factor

project for handling the Red River

At a recent meeting held at Crooks
ton, Mimi, for the purpose Of organ
izing a Minnesota drainage region, no
action was possible because Of the
small attendance. Another meeting

cording to plans of the flood control

Legislation necessary to carry out
the flood control project will be asked

There is a great deal of interest in
the flood control project in the three

luton of the flood problem. Many
thousands of acres Of valley lands
have been flooded during several sea-
sons, and heavy crop losses have re-
