1. Injuries sustained by employees working on new vessels under construction and afloat upon navigable waters are not excluded from the coverage of the Longshoremen’s and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act by § 3(a) thereof, although recovery for such injuries may validly be had under a state workmen’s compensation law. Pp. 115-131.
