Once upon a time there was a boy in England by name of Joe, who worked for a rich man as a butcher So the rich man said, “Joe, when Bill load { | with meat, you go along with him,” And Joe | told, because that was what he was paid 1 But Bill loaded the wagon too heavi and it broke « | and threw Joe out and fractured his leg | Joe was a simple-minded boy. His leg had been broker while he was obeying orders; and even if had been car less, he hadn't selected Bill for the job hey both were work ing for the rich man, and it 1 to Joe that the rich man ought to do the right t by hi and wher “ In't Joe went to the court Then the be-v 1 and be-gowned ju Lord Abinger his name was, because is a true ywned down at the butcher boy, and he said, “What's all this, he And Joe said, “I did what my employer t eto do, and had my leg broken.” “Then, why didn’t you refuse to do it?” demanded the judge “LET had, I'd have been discharged,” said Joe “Well, if you'd rather break your leg than be discharged Any it's your own fault,” said the jt body that.” ought to know td suld d pretty subtle to Jo n't think of anything to say back, so he lost his case and kept his mouth shut. But somehow it didn't seem right or justice, either, all the same. To Joe it sort of figured out like “My boss hires I am sober, competent, careful and steady. I like my job. Jobs are scarce. My boss then hires a careless, reckless galoot to work w I feel sure there will be something doing in the way of accidents. hurt through the new man’s agency there is no ‘employers’ liability,’ I cam recover no damages, because the new my ‘fellow servant’ or fellow workman, It's up to me t my job and save my leg, or take a chance on s © losing both job and leg. Clearly Lord Abinger means to have my leg go with my job.” So Lord Abinger’s decision was printed in a law book and became what the lawyers and judges call a “precedent,” or & i “leading” case.

The railroads pay lawyers to watch for just such things as Judge Abinger’s decision abotit Joe’s leg would not have been carefully and fully written up for the law books, They read out of a big calf-bound book to th lina judge and explained how wise Judge Abin If they hadn't, the little lawsuit South Car er was, and the South Carolina chap really didn't have the heart to disa with his lordship’s So the fireman's « thre 1 ase was out, and, though no city council nor state legislature nor con ce American gress had ever h law.
