Escaping Liability Bills For Railway Workers Move Forward
Bills drafted by the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and state secretary Fred L Feick gain traction in the legislature. The measure forbids railroads from requiring voluntary relief fund members to sign away rights to damages to receive benefits. Currently workers join the fund, pay dues, and receive two dollars a day if injured but must release the company from suits. Feick notes some states let claim agents be paid from the fund and expects the governor to sign the act.
