1Opinion of the Court
KALODNER, District Judge.
This is an action in admiralty under Section 33 of the Merchant Marine Act of 1920 (commonly known as the Jones Act), 41 Stat. 1007, 46 U.S.C.A. § 688.
Section 688 provides (in part) that: “Jurisdiction in such actions shall be under the court of the district in which the defendant employer resides or in which his principal office is located.”
The law is well settled that the benefits of the Jones Act are available not only on the law side but also on the admiralty side in an in personam action. See Panama Railway Co. v. Johnson, 264 U.S. 37S, 44 S.Ct. 391, 68 L.Ed. 748.
