AGAINST THE RAILROADS.
Chancellor McGill, of New Jersey, De-
cIares the Coal Combine Illegal

Clar6S the COdl Commune 11IeSd1
The long-looked-for decision of Chancellor
McGiIl in the case of the State of New
Jersey against the Reading coal combine
has been filed at Trenton. 1t is ad
verse to the railroad companies as
it grants the preliminary injunction
asked for to restrain the roads from opera
ting together under the leases entered into
last winter, breaks up the celebrated tri-
partite agreement, forbids the Philadel phia
and Reading and the Port Reading from
operating the New Jersey Central, and
directs that the latter resume control of its
own property, franchises, eoc. The courts
decree is to hold until the judgment upon
the final hearing is rendered. In the course
of .ne decision the Chancellor says:
corporate bodies that engage in public
occupation are created by the State upon
the hypothesis that they will be a public
benefit. They enjoy privileges that indi-
viduals cannot have. While the State
coAers special privileges on these favor
ites it at the same time exacts
from them duties which also tend
to the public welfare. Such corporations
hold their powers in trust for the public
veal. When, therefore, it appears that such
a corporation, unmindful of its plain duty,
acts prejudicially to the public, in order tc
make gains and profits for its stockholders,
it uses its power in a manner not contem-
plated by the law which confers it."

ployer summoned the gendarmes to restore
order and get back his property.

frighten the strikers. They threatened to
burn the farmers house and to lay waste
his fields. They even went SO far as to
threaten the gendarnes if they inter
ferred.
The Inspector commanding the gen.
darmes gave the command to fire to his men
and they poured volley into the riotous
strikers. One Of the strikers stabbed the

charged. ,.
Twelve men and women were killed and
many were wounded before the moo was
driven from the place. The strikers, for.
tunately for themselves, were scattered
about the field and it was owing to this
fact that larger number were not killed or
wounded.
