Nov. 5. A decision has been handed down by the Exchequer Court of Canada dismissing the petition of the right of Theodore Valllancourt, a former locomotive engineer of the Intercolonial railway who claimed from the King, through the Inicrcolonlal'and the Canadian National Railways, the sum of 113.830 00. alleging unjust and Illegal dismissal. The case I of considerable Interest to railroad people throughout Canada. In dismissing the petition Justice Audctte found itut Insubordination and use of Intoxicating liquors 'te proved and It was held to be" a Justifiable reason for dismissal. The petitioner, according to the evidence presented to the court, was an - engineer on the "spare list" at Riviere Du loup in September. 1928. He was aummoned on an emergency call on September 11. 1928. and did not immediately report to take out a waiting engine. A second telephone call waa made by his foreman, and It was then some twenty minutes before Valllancourt appeared to take cut the engine. By that tlms another engineer had been summoned and had taken out the engine on his arrival. Valllancourt .after an altercation with hla foreman, wu suspended by the locomotive foreman, who alleged that the engineer had been Intoxicated 'anJ showed insubordination. In hla Judgment. Justice Audette finds that Insubordination and the um of Intoxicating liquor, contrary to the company's rules of employment, which the petitioner denied, had been proved. Both were forbidden by the rulea governing the man's employment, and were It not so provided. It would be a Justifiable cause for dlmtsal," the judgment states. "Railroading and booze." the Judgment continues, "like the east and west '.nKlpllng's poem, are things that can never meet. If the operation of tralni Is to be carried on with safety, one must bear with, and give a vigorous and efficient support to the authority in the administration of the railway, the want of which, would tend to destroy that control and management which have for Its object to protect tne pub lie and the life of passengers. All em ployees owe loyalty and obedience to their superior officer acting within the scope of his duties and mandate." BAD EARTHQUAKE IN damage, NICARAGUA TODAY MANAGUA, Nov. 8.
