Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>Master and Servant — Injury to Employee — Non-delegable Duty of Master. Where the method adopted by a salt company for carrying on its business involves the occasional dislodging of masses of salt, thereby covering the floor of a room with fragments moving with such force as to expose to danger employees who are there in the discharge of their duties, and the only adequate way to protect them from such danger is to warn them just before such dislodgment, the giving of such warning is a non-delegable duty of the employer,, and its omission imposes a liability for any consequent injury-to an employee, regardless of any question of co-service.</p>
