Supreme Court Upholds Employers' Liability Law
The Supreme Court rules Congress may regulate interstate rail carrier relations with employers. It upholds a 1908 act as not regulating intrastate commerce, rejects the old common law rule of nonliability for fellow servant negligence, and allows enforcement by state courts where applicable. The Danbury hatters case involving a boycott remains unchanged pending a new trial.
