Philadelphia, April 2.-To prove that,
PRESIDENT A. }. Cassatt and nearly all
the officials Of the Pennsylvania rail
road own stock in certain coal compa-
MES that have been given rebates in the
last few years, subpenas have been is
sued ordering all Of them to appear In
court. 81
A determined effort will be made 10
show that these officials own coal stock
IN defiance of law and that the corpora
ton has made itself liable to the for
fixture Of its charter.
AS a result, altho the Pennsylvania.
railroad never before has eyinced any
fear Of civil suit, there now appears to
be CONSERVATION in the ranks Of the cor
pOration. t5. ts4z.3
Not only the active officials. but
every directory Of the road has been
s SUMMONED nn TO appear either on April l9
or %, to submit to the cross-examina.
ton Of Thomas II. Anterior Of Wilkes
barre and James W. NJ Mewlin of this
city. The subpena-servers have been
clustering around the Pennsylvania Of
ices for the last week and It was only
q few days ago they were able to serve
President Cassatt..
In. the case at issue the plaintiff is
the Pennsylvania Coal &. Coke company.
IhlS concern owns large bodies of BIZ.
luminous coal lands in the counties of
Cambridge, Blair and Indiana. The
defendant, according to the petition in
the case. is the railroad chartered in
1887, under the act of congress of Feb.
"a, 1887. for the purpose of a common
carrier. The Pennsylvania operates the
Tyrone division, the Pittsburg divisions.
and the Cambria, Clearfeld, Northwest
and Western Monongahela divisions.
It was upon some Of these lines coal
was carried from the bituminous mines
to the city. It is alleged the Pennsyl-
wanna favored four coal companies by
giving them unlawful rebates and fur
nishing them with more cars to trans
port their coal than any other company
received.

Can Corporations Be Jailed

The questions raised in the Colorado
Fuel & Iron rebate case and in the case
Of the packers at Chicago is, how shall
q corporation be punished if it is found
guiltye The law finds ways and means
of Furnishing individuals by taking
their lives or taking their liberty, but
when it comes to corporation there is
sudden stoppage Of the process of the
law. 1t may find the corporation gull
ty, but when it comes to applying pun
ishment, the court willis. The corpora
ton is intangible. It cannot be found
bodily, because it has no body. It can
not be seized and incarcerated, because
there is nothing to incarcerate. Moth
ing is left the court but the imposi-
tion Of fine. --...
This appears to be the accepted the
DRY Of the law, but it is not necessarily
the true way to look upon the matter.
In the case Of the Northern Securities
company, found guilty of being an ille-
gal combination in restraint of trade,
the supreme court did not merely fine
the corporation and let it 90 on it's
way. It commanded it to disband.
This was little different from the
case of corporation which has a right
to exist, but which is doing things
which are unlawful. But way should
not the courts enforce substa y ally the
same punishment which it would in
woke in the case of an individual? A
tight offense in which fine would be
considered just in the case or "a indi-
vidual would also answer IS 20 COR
poration. But when it comes 20 a case
in which it seems necessary 10 deprive
the Individual Of the use Of his proper
functions as an individual, namely,
those Of free circulation in the COM
munity, the transaction of business, the
making Of profit on his labor and the
owning of property, the court applies
the punishment. Why is it impossible
to follow up a corporation in the same
way by depriving it of its liberty of
action, of its right to do business, of
it's capacity to own property and to
realize a profit from it's activities9 If
one or two corporations were arrested
In this manner and their responsible
officers notified to discontinue the con
duct of the business of the corporation,
it would work a revolution in the airy
manner in which they invite, even in
( cite. proceedings against themselves
which they know will eventuate in
nothing more drastic than fine repre-
senting only percentage of the profits
from their illegal acts. -

Only a Square Deal.

The house Judiciary committee has re,
ported favorably bill which, if passed,
will relieve railroad companies Of ex-
emption from liability for damages in
case of death or injury to employees,
where now they often escape under the
rule Of negligence Of fellow servant.
It is an old principle of common law
that when the employee suffers from the
carelessness Of fellow servant, the en-
ployer cannot be held liable. This rule
applies to railroads except in some
states where it has been abrogated by
special legislation. /
The peculiar hardship involved in
the fellow-servant principle of the com
mon law in the case of railroad en-
ployee is that whereas a passenger Of
a railroad company may obtain damages
for injury, or his friends may recover
in the case Of death, neither the en-
ployees nor his friends can do so if it
result of carelessness on the part Of
some other employee. =
Of course, it is impossible for a rail
road employee to be in any sense re-
sponsible for the employment of care
less or reckless fellow servants. The
negligence or carelessness from which
he may suffer may be committed a hun
dred miles away by some one whom he
never heard of.
Railway and Locomotive Engineer
ing, one of the best established trade
papers in the country, is among the ad-
vocates of this bill, which seems to
have for it's object simply the guaran-
teeing to employees Of railroads the
same rights to damages in the case Of
injury that are accorded the public and
to employees in other lines Of Industry.
