Bergerson v. Great Northern Railway Co.

This is an action to recover damages incident to defendant’s refusal to honor a free pass issued to plaintiff and his ejectment from a train.

On June 80, 1922, plaintiff was, and for some time had been, an employe of defendant, and was a member of the Federated Shop Crafts Organization. Pursuant to a request from plaintiff, defendant on June 24, 1922, issued a trip pass for him to go to Virginia, Minnesota, and return to St. Paul. A printed statement on the back of the pass said that it “may be revoked by the railroad company at any time.” Plaintiff signed the statement on the back of the pass.
