1Opinion of the Court
SULLIVAN, District Judge.
This complaint, which was originally filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, seeks to recover under the Jones Act, 46 *424U.S.C.A. § 688 for the death of plaintiff’s intestate. Deceased was an employee of defendant, and was killed when a barge owned by defendant, on which he was working as a seaman, sank in Lake Michigan. Defendant, a Delaware corporation, removed the case to this court on the grounds of diversity of citizenship. Plaintiff now moves to remand the cause to the Circuit Court of Cook County, and defendant resists the motion.
