A court case has been filed in Toledo, the decision of which will be an imjmrtiint turn in the history of the Pennsylvania railroad voluntary relief fund. The proceedings are begun at trie instigation of a woman whose husband was killed in a wreck, and she asks for damages and states that in her charges that the relief fund is but a scheme by which the company is excused from jiaying damages to their injured employes. The system is in vogue on all of the Pennsylvania lines and is very similar to the benefit fund maintained in the secret orders of this country. The case is an interesting one and whether or not the company is liable for damages after a lieneflt from the relief fund lias been jiaid will soon lx- decided.
