Nicholas v. Reading Company

Opinion by

Bhodes, J.,

This is a workmen’s compensation case. The question raised on this appeal is whether the deceased, Thomas P. Nicholas, was engaged in interstate transportation at the time he was accidentally killed on September 13, 1937, in the course of his employment with defendant, or in work so closely related to such transportation as to be practically a part of it. See Chicago & North Western Ry. Co. v. Bolle, 284 U. S. 74, 78, 52 S. Ct. 59, 76 L. Ed. 173; Chicago & Eastern Illinois R. Co. v. Industrial Commission of Illinois et al., 284 U. S. 296, 298, 52 S. Ct. 151, 76 L. Ed.…
