B. C. Hallaway v. Guy A. Thompson

In his motion for rehearing, respondent for the first time contends that this is a case under the Federal Employers Liability Act and is governed by the provisions of the limitations section of that Act, 45 U.S.C.A., sec. 56, for the reason that "since the petition alleged that the Respondent was engaged in interstate commerce, and that the Plaintiff was working on a switch engine, the allegation brings the case squarely within the Federal Employers Liability Act."
