to be held responsible: that il
is only liable in case of over
crowding where the movements
of the passengers that cause
the injury are involuntary.
that is, where they are swayed
by the movement of the car.
That argument gives rise TO the
question whether the crowding
was the proximate cause of the
accident and whether the cas-
ual connection between the
crowding and the accident was
not broken by the negligence of
the other passengers. The an
swer seems to be that the tort of
the passengers took place con-
currently with the carriers
conduct in overcrowding the car,
their wrong cannot reasonably
be said to alter or lessen the
defendants liability"
Then he winds up with this:
1T would seem, therefore.
that where a carrier permits a
car to become overcrowded af-
ter one becomes passenger
and so brings about such a
dangerous condition that the
passenger while in the exercise
of care and, in undertaking to
get of, is carried out partly VOL

the passenger a reasonable op-
portunity to alight and so has

Among the initiated in Washing

the squabble between Senator Rob-

Someone is always taking the joy
out OF life for the street car mag
nate. Now II is the Appellate Court
of Cook County. Illinois. 1t decides
that IL car companies accept too
many passengers and suffer cars to
become badly overcrowded they
must be held responsible for any
accident or injury which results d.
rectIy from the forseeable effects of
such overcrowdinG. II distinguishes
this case from a previous ruling In
the Massachusetts, courts where
passenger assumed certain
amount of risk by entering a car
which was already crowded.
Evidently Justice Taylor. who
wrote the decision, has been a close
observer of human kind. for he put
some touches in his finding that
distinguish II decidedly from the
prosy stun we usually read when
we go through court papers. Here
is a sample:
THE habits of passengers are
wellknown. When they are
nearing their destination they
become impatient and hasten
toward the exit, each trying
more or less to get ahead. II
the car is crowded. confusion
and anxiety make them push
and surge toward the exit. We
take judicial notice OF the we'll
known characteristics of hu-
man nature. Carriers have the
same knowledge and are bound
to conduct their business with
these characteristics in mind
If, in the face of such
knowledge. they accept too
many passengers they must be
held responsible for any result
which reasonably ought to have
been anticipated"
Further on Mr.. Justice Taylor
says:
Counsel for the defendant
argues that the crowding and
pushing off of the plaintiff was
the result of the voluntary
conduct of the passengers and
that the defendant ought not
