Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Federal Employers' Liability and Safety Appliance Acts, and on the Federal Statutes on Hours of Labor, Including Interstate Commission's Rules and Diagrams for Equipment of Cars The Safety Appliance Acts and even the Hours of Service Act are the handmaids, not to say anything of the Ash Pan Act, of the Employers' Liability Act. These statutes have been included in the present work, and it is believed with decided assistance to the profession. There is no volume that brings all these several statutes together, grouping them and the many decisions construing them in a single work. So far as the author knows, no work covers, or pretends to cover, the Safety Appliance and Hours of Service Acts, except a small volume in the way of a digest issued by the Interstate Commerce Commission, a work lillle known outside the circle of railroad attorneys.
