.tl.. The recent legislative investigation
ia, given vent to u good deal OF feeling
that has been suppressed in the breast o
shipper. along the line OF the Baltimore
0Li1 road. This feeling came out in th'
testimony before the committee, and alsC
IN ,be minority report, and it still Comel
IN, in these communications. The saf,
u,y far tlr future interests Of the railroad
i.to have this feeling come to the surface
and ventilated in the Legislature and
Olt
twill be seen that the Grafton shipper
lay.sreat stress on the very wide differ
poc, on car load Of freight to that point
and to Wheeling from Baltimore and
Philadelphia. lie shows also that he can
chin y,D pounds Of freight from Philadel.
mia to Wheeling for 55 cents, but must
pay 50 cents to get it on TO Grafton. That
i. he must pay 81 cents more for the l6e
miles than for the 475 miles. This cer!
niply looks to be too much OF difference.
This We say, while presuming that
!, costs the company quite MS much
to haul and pcddIe out car Of
vay freight between here and Grafton as
il does to haul the whole car without
stopping from Philadelphia to Wheeling.
There is this general remark to be said
on the subject ofwNy freight. Way trains
often q, out with miscellaneous cargo,
no one car being full. lnaSmuch as they
slop at every station to discharge and
receive freight, their time is necessarily
slow, and this being the case, more wages,
mere iueland more wear and tear must be
consumed Carsl sent out with way

Ri,sr ,n,t werr Contracted on The Other
Side.
All corporations on this side OF the river,
that, by reason Of any branch OF their
business being carried on on the Ohio side,
become indebted to employees on that side,
are subjected to no little annoyance and
embarrassment as between them and their
employees on account Of garnishees served
IN them on this side. For instance, tie
Pittsburgh, Cincinnati ( st. Louis railroad,
andt Baltimore & Ohio road, and one
ortwO Of our manufacturing corporations,
have experienced not little annoyance
ou account OF these garnishees. Not that
itmaEes any difference to these concerns
S@ whom they pay what they owe, but
because it keeps their labor in more orless
Of an unsettled condition. To such an
extent has the Baltimore 4 Ohio Company
annoyed with these attachments from
Ohio that it is said they made rule some
time ago not to keep man in their en-
ploy who subjected them to this sort OF
annoyance by failure to pay his debts.
The m'i" opcrmNti of legal proceedings
IN these eases is as iOllowd: An Ohio
crelitorOl an cmployC OIL the Ohio side
aSiRes InominNly or really his claim to
some one on this side, and this assignee
Serves an attachment or garnishec on the
corporation here, which service compels
It to hold back its Ohio employees wages.
10 do this, it must send word to its repre-
sentative on the Ohio side not to pay any
wages to the party whose earnings have
been thus stopped, and this notice, as q
na'ter of course, bcGets trouble between
The corporation or firm and the laborer
who Is thus deprived of his wooes and
perhaps OF hiSIiyelihood.
III Ohio they have u law 10 the effect
that labOrer's wages up 10 a certain
amount cannot thus be garnishecd. Astc
00N far it isa instlaw we are not prepared
%@y AsaruIc, a man who contracts q
'cO' should be made to pay it, but in some
