Judge Uaynor, of the New York suprerae court, on application of Joseph Loader, a Iirooklyn raerchant, for a mandamus to compel the Brooklyn ileights railroad to opérate its cars in sufficient numbers to accommodate the iraveling public, has rendered a decisión that the company must run their cars. On the direct point at issue the judge says: "If they (the railwav company) cannot get labor to man and run their ears at what they offer to pay, then they must pay more, and as much as is necessary to g-et it. Likewise, if the conditions in respect to hours or otherwise which they impose repel labor, they must adopt more lenient or just conditions. They must not stop their cars for one hour, much less one week or one year, thereby to beat or coerce the pnce or conditions of labor down to the price and conditions they offer. For them to do so would be a defiance of law and of government, which, becoming general, would inevitably by the force of example lead to general disquiet, to the disintegration of the social order and even the down f all of government itself."
