Before State Industrial Board, Respondent. In the Matter of the Claim of Thomas Buckley, Respondent, under the Workmen’s Compensation Law, v. Western Union Telegraph Company, Appellant, and United States Railroad Administration (New York Central Railroad Company), James C. Davis, as Director-General of Railroads, Respondent.

Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul R. Co. (243 U. S. 44).
