Outcome
The court found that the plaintiff, George Okolinsky, was an employee of the contractor T. F. Scholes, Inc., and not an employee of the railroad defendant. The railroad lacked the right to control the manner in which the contractor's employees performed their work, despite detailed specifications governing the track-laying project.
