Boat) Raleigh, Sept. 16. The corporation commission has ruled against the Southern railway in the action of Craven & Holman, lumbermen of Ridgecrcst, who declined to sign one of the Southern's contracts in the Placing of a spur track on the peti tioner's lands. The clause which cause Craven & Holman to protect was this: That It will indemnify and save harmless the railway company against any and all damage resulting from the negligence of the party of the second part, its servants and employes In and about said industrial track and the right of way therefor; and furthermore, against any and allclaims, demands, suits, judgments, or sums of money according for loss or damage by loco- I motive engines or trains of the rail way company to buildings used by the party of the second part in connection with the business served by said indus trial track, or to contents of such buildings, or to other property Btored by or with the consent of the party of the second part upon or near said industrial track." The Southern asked to be heard on the right to require the lumber tirm to sign that contract before erecting the siding in accordance with the eommis sion's order. The commission finds as a fact that the defendant's statement that such a contract is signed by practically every person or firm using such spur tracks. but doubts seriously the validity of the indemnity clause because It does not think a company can contract against its liability. "But whether It be legal ly yalid or not," the commission holds, "the commission is of the opinion that it Is unreasonable and unjust for the railroad company to require or de mand such a stipulation on the part of any shippers, and this commission takes this occasion to express Its dis approval of the railway companies in that respect. The commission further holds that a person with business enough to Justify the erection of a side track, is entitled to that facility without conditions that do not apply to other shippers. The commission declines to modify the order or to require any signature to a contract containing the indemnity clause. It was this disagreement last week that caused the Southern to threaten appearand the commission to encourage one. Should such a suit be brought in the state courts tne commission will recommend the re peal of the present law and the nulli fying of that clause. Cooke and Rand, guards; Ormand and Nee, tackles; Davis, center; Temple, quarter back; Townsend. right naif back; Bonner, left half bock; and Lewis, fullback. This eleven is expected to give the main body a hard fight before they will be able to do anything with them.
