That Mean Railroad Theft,

A Pittsburg judge has decided,
We see, that the ten cent levy
made by railroad conductors, when
the fare is paid in money, is an
unlawful addition to the charge, when
the full fare permitted by the law is
charged. The law allows the railroads
70 charge three cents n mile. They
charge every cent Of it, when you buy a
ticket, and ten cents more when you pay
the conductor. This, Of course, is un-
lawful. We presume that il has been SO
decided often but the railroads still
charge 1t, depending upon their power
10 collect II. No one likes to have trou-
BE with the conductor, or be put off the
train, however nnjustly and ten cents
seelns small sum TO fight about but il
y not too small sum for a railroad To
steal. They say they do not care for the
ten cents bat that they charge it in addi-
tion 70 the fare aud give a return check
1ps u to the passenger, 20 as to provide
