Supreme Court of the United States Defines Duty of Railroad Man - - - - - - - - - - - -.

-- - - -

F ROM the Supreme Court of the United States has just come a decision thet more clear13 then ever defines the duty of the railroad men. A flagmen had been killed as a result of a rear-end collision which might have been aSerted

had he attended to his duty. In holding that his estate is not entitled to recoSer damages from the railroad, the Supreme Court lays down a rule thet will effect ell railroad men, end especially those engaged in train movements. It is held thet in the ~erformance of their duties thev ere res~onsible to the utmost for the sefetv of . . , ~ ~ J - , passengers and property intrusted to their care. If mishap follows as a result of failure, the negligent emplo$e cannot claim for himself compensation for en iniurg he may suffer. This is not entirely a revival of the defense of contributor3 neg- ligence, but is a more strict interpretation of the rule of duty, more clear13 defining the responsibilit9 of railroad men. Its importance will be clenrly understood Ly them, end its application dill menn still greeter safety in travel.-Balfimore American.
