LAW FOR
OUTSIDERS, TOO
Appellate Court Gives Com,
pensatiOn to Wreck Victims.

Jurisdiction Of tine Indiana industrial
board under the state employees compen-
sation law doe extend to persons en-
ployed under contracts made in other
states, according to an appellate court
decision handed down today i'm the case
of the Carl Hagenbeck and Great Wallace
shows against Harriet Randall.
Another case between the circus com
pany and Alton Ball. In which a similar
point Of law was involved, was decided
in the same way.
The industrial board several months
ago decided that employees, injured in the
big Hagenback- Wallace train wreck near
Gary, Ind, in April, 1917, were entitled
to compensation under the Indiana law.
The case was appealed by the circus and
fought on the ground that the employees
concerned were hired under contracts
executed under the laws OF Ohio, and
were not entitled to protection under the
Indiana law. The appellate court held
that the employees were entitled to COM
pensation under the Indiana law.
Many persons were killed in the circus
train wreck and others were injured. A
number of damage suits were brought
against the circus in federal courts.
