Two New Legal Points
Regarding Railroads

Two very important rulings are con-
tanned in the latest order OF Director
General McAdoo, OF the railroad
transportation OF the country, which
were received this morning by Hon.
W. Scott Meredith, who is counsel for
The Monongahela Railway.
The first s. that no process shall be
levied against property belonging 90
the railroad while under federal con-
troll. which means that judgments can
not be secured against the railroad
companies during these stirring times.
It also provides that while the rail-
roads are under federal control that
any one having any complaints to
make shall bring the suits in the coun-
ty or district where the plaintiff re-
sides.

there is some hesitancy about Offering
