Negligence—Master and servant—Interstate commerce—Federal Employers’ Liability Act—Case for jury—Act of Congress, April 22, 1908, 85 U. S. 8tat. 65, c. 149. In an action under the Federal Employers’ Liability Act of April 22,1908, c. 149, 35 U. S. Stat. 65, to recover damages for injuries sustained by a railroad employee while engaged in bonding together rails with copper wires, where it appeared that the tracks on which he was working were used in interstate commerce and that a passenger train approaching on another track at a high rate of speed and without warning struck plaintiff and injured him, while he was waiting for a freight train to pass over the track on which he was bonding the rails, the contention that plaintiff was not injured while engaged in interstate commerce was without merit and the case was properly submitted to the jury.
