No. 375
Argued December 5, 1916

Syllabus
Under the Employers' Liability Act, c. 149, §§ 3, 4, 35 Stat. 65, the defenses of contributory negligence and assumption of risk are eliminated when the proximate cause of the injury is physical exhaustion attributable to a violation of the Hours of Service Act, c. 2939, § 2, 34 Stat. 1416.
So held where a rest of more than the minimum period required by the latter act had intervened between the violation and the injury.
The case is stated in the opinion.
