Elyrian Seeks Supreme Court Review of Railroad Injury
Ben Stone of Elyria, former signal helper for the New York Central, petitions the Ohio Supreme Court to review his $20,000 damage claim after an injury in November 1925. He says an oral deal kept him in a less strenuous water distiller role until it was abolished, forcing him back to signal duties where he collapsed. A waiver of $410 had been signed, and Lorain County court rulings, upheld by the Court of Appeals, found the railroad relieved of responsibility.
