General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

Taylor v. Taylor No. 224 Argued January 30, 1914 Decided February 24, 1914 232 U.S. 363
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
Syllabus
The Employers’ Liability Act of 1908, as amended in 1910, supersedes all state statutes upon the subject covered by it, and the distribution of the amount recovered in an action for death of an employee is determined by the provisions of that act, and not by the state law.
The source of right of the widow of an employee of an interstate carrier to maintain an action for his death is the federal statute, whether the cause of action is based on § 1 or § 9, and the father of the deceased is not entitled to share in the amount recovered.
The facts, which involve the construction of the Federal Employers’ Liability Act of 1908 as amended in 1910, are stated in the opinion.
