State Courts Take Action on Suits Against Railroads
The Senate Interstate Commerce Committee discussed a proposal by Senator Clapp to extend railroad pass privileges to pensioners and disabled employees. A key point is that incorporated railroads must answer in the state where suit is filed, not transfer actions to federal court, if no interstate principle is involved. The measure aims to regulate jurisdiction and ensure local court access.
