Book excerpt: Excerpt from Traders and Railways, (the Traders Case) During the four years which ended in July, 1907, the Court of the Railway and Canal Commission has been called upon to hear sixteen applications in which traders have sought redress against the treatment experienced from railway companies. In two of these cases the relief asked has been granted. As against the cost incurred in bringing sixteen cases to a hearing, the applicants have obtained a slight change in classification and other advantages worth, perhaps, 200 per annum. How is it that traders bring only four cases in a year before the Railway Tribunal ? How is it that only on two occasions during a period of four years have the traders' grievances been held to be well founded ? The answer appears to be that the Legislature and the Courts take essentially opposite views as to the duties and obligations of railway companies, and as to the rights of traders with respect to the conveyance of their traffic.
