Green had been employed at the
{local freight yards for several years.
‘ On the day he was killed. after he had
quit work he “hopped" a ride on an
.engine hauling two cars to the rail-
! road station. In some way he fell and
sts run over sustaining mortal lulu--
ries.
Commissioner Buckingham finds
, that Green was killed in the cares of
ibis emplovment and not through his
‘own wilful or serious misconduct.
Though there was a rule against "hop-
ping" engines. no one had ever been
discharged for it. says the commls-
aloner.
The railroad company pledged that
Green was an employs under Inte-
rstate Commerce and therefore the
federal employers‘ liability and not the
statp compensation law should pre-
vail. The commisloner finds that
Green ceased to be working under the
interstate commerce lawsA when he.
quit work on a freight engine that
had been «linger! in handling inter-
state commerce cars.
