Note 120 — ARTICLE IV

The Court had earlier remarked that "workmen's compensation legislation rests upon the idea of status, not upon that of implied contract." Cudahy Packing Co. v. Parramore, 263 U.S. 418, 423 (1923). In contrast to the above cases, see Kryger v. Wilson, 242 U.S. 171 (1916), where it was held that the question whether the cancellation of a land contract was governed by the lex rei sitae or the lex loci contractus was purely a question of local common law; also Bond v. Hume, 243 U.S. 15 (1917).
