Author’s Note: The Free City of Danzig’s railway employees sued their Polish employers over pay and pensions. The PCIJ ruled a treaty between Danzig and Poland did exist but, in keeping with times, this treaty could not prescribe duties and rights for individual persons such as the Danzig railway employees. The PCIJ said the issue over pay and pensions would have to be settled in a national court regarding the duties and rights for individuals.
