ATTORNEY GENERAL M'KENNA.
His RECORD ms n Friend of Americas
Greatest Corporations.
New York World

His Record ms Friend OF American
Greatest Corporations.
New York World.
The attorney general OF the United
States is the law officer of the government
whose duty it is to protect the rights Of
the government in the Union Pacific sale.
The attorney general is Joseph Mckenna
Of California, who owed his first political
appointment to the influence and friend
ship of Leland Stanford, one Of the Big
Four Pacific railroad magnates.
When Mr.. Stanford died it was found
that he had made MI. McKenna one Of he
executors of lis vast estate.
During the American Railway Union
strike in 1894 he gained tho enrnity OF
the strikers and their sympathizers by Is
suing blanket injunction restraining the
strikers from interfering with the United
States mail trains BY means of this in
junction the railroads in California were en- :
abled to suppress the strike by attaching
mail cars to all trains and causing them
to be guarded by United States regulars.
The strikers contended that it was
through Judge McKenna that the regu-
lars were called out in California during
tie strike and regiments sent to the State
from outside posts. McKenna's blanket
injunction was issued at the request Of
United States District Attorney Charles A..
Garter, who acted, presumably, under or
ders from Washington.
Later it became Judge Mckennaa's duty
to decide the famous case brought by he
government to recover $15, 000,0 900 from the
Stanford estate as its share of the indebt-
edness Of the Pacific roads,
After a memorable trial the case was
decided against the government. The case
was appealed and McKenna's decision
was affirmed by the United States supreme
court.
Within the EAST six months Judge Nc
kenna has rendered a decision on SUBJ
ject that has been a bone of contention
between the shippers and railroads of the
State for years. 1t involves the right Of
the State railroad commissioners 10 fix
rates which railroads could charge for
hauling grain.
A year ago the commissioners ordered
an S per cent reduction The railroads
opposed the order, and resorted to the
courts. After bitter fight, extending
over many weeks. Judge McKenna ruled
that the railroad commissioners had
not the power to fix the rates. and that
the per cent reduction could not be
ordered
Another great railroad case--the city
of Oakland against the Southern Pacific
railway-was before the circuit court
when Mckenna was Judge, and the case
was repeatedly postponed at the instance
OF the railroads attorneys and with the
judges consent
Judge McKenna has great ability. but
James II. Barry, an anti corporation leader
III Caiiforhla, says his sympathies are
usually on the side of the great corpora
tons
consider him metaphorically in the
same condition as the inebriate who was
found supporting himself against the walls
OF church. When asked ii he had Joined
the church his reply was: No; but l am
leaning that way
In my opinion Judge McKenna will al
ways Lean toward corporations"
