Heard in the Branch Appellate Court at the March term, 1915.\nReversed and remanded with directions.\nOpinion filed October 18, 1916.\nStatement of the Case.\nProceedings under the Workmen\u2019s Compensation Act, instituted by Ella Miller, administratrix of the estate of James H. Miller, deceased, complainant, against the Illinois Central Railroad Company, respondent, to recover for the death of the plaintiff\u2019s intestate, claimed to have been killed by being struck by the respondent\u2019s train. To review proceedings before the Industrial Board, wherein an award was made to the claimant, the respondent brought the record to the Circuit Court of Cook county by common-law writ .of certiorari.

The Workmen\u2019s Compensation Act has no application to injuries received by railroad employees while both the employee and the railroad company are engaged in interstate commerce and the employer\u2019s liability in such case is governed exclusively by the Federal Employers\u2019 Liability Act, regardless of the question of negligence or want of negligence of either party.\nVernon W. Foster and John G. Drennan, for ap- , pellant; Blewett Lee and Walter S. Horton, of counsel.\nNo appearance for appellee.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
