Oli- ver, a Pullman car porter, killed in a wreck at Cheney, Wash., on Janu- ary 4, 1911, was awarded judgment for $12,500 against the Northern Pa- 4e Railway company in the United States district court here, under the federal employers’ liability act. Judge Frank Rudkin, who sustained the verdict, at a previous hearing, non- suited the action, which was for $25,- 000 damages, on the ground that as Oliver had signed an agreement with the Pullman and the Northern Pacific companies his widow was unable to obtain relief under the common car- riers’ act. Oliver’s wage was $25 a month, according to a statement by a railroad official, but his widow tes- tified that he brought home on an average of $100 a month. Her coun- sel announced that 75 per cent of that amount was received in “tips.” This, it is generally thought, was the basis for the verdict. Only two wit- nesses testified.
