Employers Liability Upheld By The Court
Washington reports the Supreme Court sustained the constitutionality of the employers liability law passed by Congress in 1908 in all cases before it. It marked the second and final effort by Congress to modify the old common law rule that an employee or common carrier could not sue for injuries caused by a fellow servant's negligence. The first act in 1906 was ruled unconstitutional for including intra state commerce. The case had been under advisement since last February.
