it MUST RUN THE CARS Justice Gaynor Rules Against the Corporations. DECISIVE BLOW FOR JUSTICE tiaty. Sistine tiara Were Rue oaring the Retire Day mad Several Ware Attacks d. Brooklyn, Jan. 24. -Justice Gaynor, of the supreme court handed down a decision today on the application of Joseph Loade, for a mandamus to com- pel the Brooklyn Heights railroad to operate its cars in sufficient numbers to accommodate the public. The justice in his decision says: \It is my duty to declare the law on .this case. This railroad corporation is not in the position of a mere private Individual co -company carrying on bus- iness for private gain, which may sus- pend business temporarily or perman- ently at pleasure. On the contrary it has a dual relation. It public relation to the people and a private vote to its stockholders. It must not be forgotten that it is a public corporation having duties to perform to the public which transcend any obligation which in its private aspect it owes to its stockhold- - nalimt-geral tad atantliities tar:groat value from the state and has had con- ferred ukiç . it the stales transcendent uhviarar_enathititagthaffiL: Tit \b'Itir11-- ,-- it took upon itself the performance of public duties and functions, in the per- formance of which it 18 in law and fact not an independent individual or en- tirety, but an accountable agent of -time state. The duty of the company now be- fore the court, Is to carry passengers through certain streets of Brooklyn _ and t0 furnish, man and operate- cars enough to fully accommodate the public. It may not lawfully cease to perform that duty for even an hour. \The directors of a private business company may,, actuated by private greed, or motives of private gain, stop ,business and refuse to employ labor at all unless labor come down to their conditions, however distressing; lot such are the existing legal, industrial and social, conditions. But the dine - tors of a railroad corporation may not do the like. They are accountable o the public first and to the stockholders second. They have duties to the public . to ,pereorm and must perform them. If they cannot get labor to perform such duties at what pay limey offer. then they must pay more, and as much as is necessary to get it. Likewise, if con- ditions in respect to hours or otherwise which' they impose repel labor they must adopt more lenient or Just condi- Mona, as they may not stop their cars for one hour, much less one week or one year. -thereby to beat or coerce the price or conditions of labor down to the price or conditions that they offer. For them to do so would be defiance of the law and of the government, which, be- coming general, would inevitably by forte of example lead to general dis- quiet. to the disintegration of social or- der and even the downfall of the gov- ernment itself. \I shall quote from a case decided up- \ -- ntrawappeat to the Supreme eoUrt - 111 . this state in 1883. after mature deliber- ation, and which is an authority which I am bound to follow and which I scarcely_ _need. to say the corporation now before this court, is bound to ac- quiesce in and which I doubt not it will immediately acquiesce In for example's sake, if for no other reason. That case arose out of the failure of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company to receive and forward freight as a common carrier.\ The circummance_atAbalalrike wsa reviewed and the court said: \The court In that case allowedA a writ of mandamus to compel the corporation to dolts corporate duty.

About 70 persons collected at this point and jeered the soldiers who were under arms. A stone was hurled by one of the crowd, striking a policeman. This was followed by several others and then the police and militia charged. The mob rushed along the avenue and side streets. Many received bayonet thrusts from the militiamen, while the clubs of the police were used with tell- ing effect on the rioters. The police ar- rested John Tighe, Charles Burke and Stephen Gannon. When conveying them to the station, a crowd attacked them and endeavored to rescue{ the prisoners. After a; desperate conflict, the stone throwers were locked up.
