Supreme Court Narrowly Reverses Workmen’s Comp Law
In May 1917 the U S Supreme Court ruled 5 to 4 that New York’s Workmen’s Compensation law was invalid for a longshoreman killed unloading a ship. Congress quickly amended federal statutes. Later, another 5 to 4 decision held Congress must enact uniform national rules, creating divergent maritime and land protections and leaving mariners unprotected. The dissents lament the absurdity and human cost of the narrow ruling.
