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.

Norton v. Warner Co. No. 362 Argued February 28, 29, 1944 Decided March 27, 1944 321 U.S. 565
CERTIORARI TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT
Syllabus
1. On review under § 21(b) of the Longshoremen’s & Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, the court may not set aside a compensation award deemed contrary to the weight of the evidence, but may set an award aside only for error of law. P. 568.
2. A barge, though without motive power, is a vessel within the meaning of the Longshoremen’s & Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, since it is a means of transportation by water. P. 571.
3. Upon the facts of this case, held that a bargeman -- though the barge which he tended was without motive power and though he was the sole employee aboard -- was a "member of a crew" within the meaning of the Longshoremen’s & Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, and excluded from the coverage of that Act by §§ 2(3) and 3(a)(1) thereof. P. 571.
137 F.2d 57 affirmed.
Certiorari, 320 U.S. 729, to review the reversal of a judgment, 45 F.Supp. 835, which dismissed a suit to set aside an award of compensation under the Longshoremen’s & Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act.
