The widow was Mrs. Jesse Miles
of Tennessee. Her husband was
killed in an accident at Memphis but
she filed suit against the railroad in
Missouri court under provision
of the Liability Act which provides
that railroad or similar defendant
may be sued wherever it does busi-

The railroad obtained from a Ten

ing Mrs. Miles from suing in Mis-

have to send II to 20 employees from
Memphis to st. Louis and that
this was a burden on interstate

Act extended was a burden on in

such burden and that the system

yes" replied Mr.. Brown.
Does that mean Rome?"
