Opinion
The case comes up on agreed facts, which were apparently intended to present the question of the validity of a limitation of actions under the federal statute for damage to goods being transported in interstate commerce. The question is a federal one, and the provision in the uniform bill of lading, requiring notice of claims within four months, has been upheld by the court of last resort. Georgia, &c., R. R. Co. v. Blish Milling Co., 241 U. S. 190; Chesapeake & Ohio Ry. Co. v. McLaughlin, 242 U. S. 142.
Judgment for the defendant.
