About a year ago John B. Sheldon, a
country shipper, began a suit against the
Burlington q Quincy in the United States
circuit court at Chicagoto recover damages
for alleged charging OF extortionate freight
rates. He claimed the rates were in excess
OF the maximum rates as fixed by rail
road commissioners. The filed
pleas setting out that it was organized by
the consolidation OF five or six other Hi
nois railroads, all OF which, save one, had
the right by their charters to the amount
OF charges for carrying freight and passen.
gers. Demiurrers were filed to the pleas and
argued ONE months ago before Judge
Gresham at Chicago. The court decided
that the consolidated company took
its character from the charter oil
the constituent companies, and that
one OF these companies was subject to
legislative control, and that the ~consoli.
dation was voluntary on the part Of several
companies. The case stood, Judge Ores.
ham held, just as il the defendant had been
organized by the consolidation OF but two
companies, one independent of legislative
control and the other subject to
such control, and that in all cases in
which doubts arose as TO thepowers OF cor.
porations thereto, doubts should be re,
solved in favor OF the public. The case
viii be carried to the supreme court. Under
Judge Gresham's decision the company will
be compelled to conform to the rates fixed
by the railroad commissioner.
