LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCER, WEDNESDAY, MAY 25. 188L I Lancaster intelligencer. WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 26, 1881". PHILADELPHIA & READING R. R. THE SUPREME COUBT DECIDES IN HUNU'S favor. Janice Shanwoed, SUrrett and Trunkey DlMent from the Ieclslen m Armm t Ien or the Majority and File a Mi nority Opinion Fall Text or the Important Opinion. Iho supreme court en Monday filed an opinion affirming the decision of the court below in the Reading railroad case. The opinion is signed by Justices Mercnr, Paxseu, Gorden and Green. Chief Jus tice Sharswood and Justices Sterrett and Trunkey filed a dissenting opinion. The opinions are as fellows : Majority Opinion. After reciting the sections in the charter of the company relating te the election of officers, Judge Mercnr, who delivered the opinion of the majority, says : The fourth section fixes a time for the annual election of all officers of the company, and espe cially declares they shall be chosen by a majority of the votes preseut. The fifth section recognizes the fact that for seme accidental cause an election might net be made en the day named, therefore the stockholders might neglect te meet, or if they met, fail te elect. If for cither of these reasons, or for any ether cause, an election was net then made, this sec tion was designed te guard against injurious consequences flowing there there feom, and te give stockholders an early opportunity te elect officers. Hence it authorized an election te be held en ten days' notice, signed by cither the president or secretary. It does net specify the num ber or proportion of votes necessary te elect or thu qualifications of voters, nor the time the proxies shall have been ex ecuted ; as all these had been distinctly stated in the proceeding section, it would have becu useless repetition. It cannot with any plausibility be assumed that it would require mere votes te elect them than en a previous day, nor docs it repeat by whom the time for this election shall be fixed. The previous section author auther author izde the stockholders te meet " at such ether time" after the day named for the annual clcctieu as they might.be summon ed by the managers in such manner and form as shall be prescribed by the by-laws. It does net appear that any by-law was adopted especially applicable thereto ; but tlie first by-law provides that the place of meeting of the company shall be at the company's office in Philadelphia, unless specially convened elsewhere by the mana gers. The fifth by-law declares that the beard of inaiiagcrs shall have all the power and authority grautcd by law te the com pany except in such matters as may be specially excepted by the by-laws. Ne by-law takes from the managers any right te fix the time for the election specified in the fifth sec! inn. It must lie conceded that all the stockholders of the company assembled toether would have had an undoubted rigjit te fix the time and place for this elect ion. It inusttlieio.ferc fellow that this by-law, together with the special power given by tlie fourth section and the general puwers of the managers, fully authorized them te call this mcctiug en the contin gency mentioned in the fifth section. Ne eluctieu of officers was made en the sec ond Monday of January, 1881, nor was any meeting of the stockholders then held. The election of officers was made en the fourteenth of March by a majority of the votes of the stockholders assembled in pursuance of a resolution of the beaul of managers, of which notice, signed by the secretary, was given. It is contended by the appellants that the fit tit section ap plies only in ease a meeting was held en the day specified in the charter, and te a failure te perfect an election then ; that one or mere, but net all the officers must have been elected. This construction is claimed te be shown by the fact that in a paitef the section the names of the ofli efli ceis net elected and te be elected are stated disjunctively. This narrow inter pretation ignores another part of the sec tion which states conjunctively all the officers of the. preceding year and that tliev shall continue te act until this elec tien shall take place As then all the offi cers of the corporations may held ever until an election shall be made, it fellows that this section may be called into exer cise and take e licet if no one of the officers has been chosen. The better view, how ever, is te leek at the purpose of the sec tion. Its manifest intent is te provide a remedy in case of a failure te elect any or all of the officers at any time or from any cause, no matter hew it may have happen ed and whether or net a meeting has pre viously been held. The curative power of the section is as bread as the existing defect. It is intended te furnish a full remedy. It is further argued that section five must net be considered in connctieu with section four, but ba deemed an adjunct te section twenty one, and therefore an elec tion en the feuitcenth of March could be held under the latter section en'y. This seems te us a farced and unnatural con struct ion of the statutes. The fourth and fifth section relate te the same subject matter. That is. the election of officers. The one fixes a time for the regular annual election the ether authorizes the designa tion of a later day in case of a failure te elect en the former. Section twenty-one makes no prevision in regard te an elec tion at any time or under any circum stances, nor any reference thereto. It ap pears te relate only te the general business of the company. A meeting under it can only be called by elder of the president and managers or by the president at the request of the stockholders representing one-fourth the amount of the capital stock en twenty days notice. Section five re quites only ten days notice te be signed by either president or secretary, and does net require that any specific proportion of the stockholders sliall unite in requesting the meeting te be called. Section twenty" one declares no business shall be transacted ether than that for which tlie meeting was called, nor unless a majority in value of the stockholders shall attend in person or by proxy. Beth the former sections which de provide for the election of offi cers intend that all the powers thereby given may be exercised by a majority of the voters present. In the exposition of a statute the intention of the lawmakers is te be deduced from the whole and every part of the statute taken and examined together. Se considered, wc cannot see that the conclusion at which we have ar rived as te the intent of this statute ad mits of any reasonable doubt. Every ob ject and purpose of the twenty-first sec tion, including the manner of calling its previsions into action and making them of binding force, are dissimilar from all previsions in previous sections providing ler elections. It is impossible for section twenty-ene te be se blended with section five as te make them harmonize in all their parts. Due ctl'ect can be given te both by permitting each te remain as the lawmakers placed tiieiii, net only removed from each ether, but still further wholly disconnected in object and purpose. The regular term of the officers chosen for the preceding year had expired. The right of the stockholders te require an election te be held should net be un necessarily trammeled If the view taken by the appellants he correct, the stock holders, representing a majority of the j stock, could have prevented one until the scxt annual election. The officers elected ' for one year would held for two years. When can effect be given te the fifth sec tion against the wish of the majority ? At the annual election it does net apply ; at any ether time the majority can prevent its being exercised. Instead of giving ef fect te the clear language of the statute that an election may be held at any time when it happens one has net been made, this ricw practically interpolates the words : "This section shall have no effect if the stockholders representing a majority in value of the stock refuse their assent thereto." The illogical and mischievous consequences of ' such a construction are tee manifest te need argument. The answer of the appellants frankly and dis tinctively admits that 3Ir. Gewen, who, they believe, held the proxies of a majority in value of the stockholders of the com pany remained away from the meeting en the fourteenth of March with the view and for the purpose et preventing a change in the management of the company. Te give the effect intended by such action from such motives would be a perversion of the whole spirit of the act, and unjustly prevents ether stockholders from voting te change the officers of the company. These who voluntarily absent themselves from a meeting duly called for an election must recognize the validity of the election regu larly made by these who de attend. Such absentees present no ground for relief from their misfortunes or their felly. The learned judge was therefore clearly right in holding the election held en the four tccnth of March te be valid. The decree is affirmed and appeal dismissed at the cost of the appellants. minority opinion. Gejvcn and ethers, appellants, vs. Mc Calmont and ethers, appellees. Appeal from the decree of the common pleas Ne. 2, of Philadelphia : Trunkey, J., dissenting. The charter of the Philadelphia te Head ing railroad company in section thrce pro vides for the organization of the company and the election of a president, six mana gers, a treasurer, secretary and such ether officers as shall be deemed necessary, who shall serve until the second Monday of January then next and until like officers shall be chosen. Section four provides " that the stock holders shall meet en the second Monday in January of every year at such places as may be fixed upon by the laws and cheese bv the majority of votes present officers for the ensuing year - who shall continue in office for one year and until ethers are chosen, and at such ether times as they may be summoned by the managers in such manner and form as shall be prescribed by -tne by-laws, at which annual or special meeting they sliall have full power aud authority te m.ike, alter or repeal by a majority of the votes in the manner aforesaid all such by-laws, rules, orders aud regulations as aforesaid, and te de and perform every ether corpor ate act." Section five directs the manner of con ducting the election, and contain the clause : " And if it shall at any time hap pen that an clcctieu of president, mana gers, treasurer or ether officer shall net he made, the corporation shall net from that cause be dissolved, but it sliall be lawful te held and name such election of presi dent, managers, treasurer or ether officers en any day thereafter, by giving at least ten days' notice, signed by the president or secretary, in the newspapers before mentioned, of the time aud place et held ing the said election." Sectien twenty-one provides "that spe cial meetings of the stockholders may be called by order of the president aud man agers, or by order of the president, at the request of the stockholders holding one fourth of the capital stock, in like notice as that required for annual meetings, specifying, moreover, the object of the meeting, but no business shall be trans acted at such meeting except that for which it shall have been called, nor unless a majority in value of the stockholders shall attend in person or by proxy. " Numerous sections of the charter and of the by-laws relate te the duties and powers of the president and managers, but nowhere are they clothed with author ity te call ajncctiiig of the stockholders, except in the twenty-first section aforesaid. The prevision in that section is ample for all occasions when the stockholders should be convened. One fourth of them in value may request the president te call a meet ing, which request is equivalent te a com mand ; but whether called by him at such request or by the president, and manager.'; of their own will, net less than a majority, in value, of the stockholders can transact business at such meeting. This safe idle of action is in the chaitcr, and has all along been satisfactory te the stockholders. They have net passed a by-law under the fourth section se as te authorize the man agers te call special meetings as therein provided, which could de and perform any corporate act, though but a small porlien of the stockholders in nnmlier and value should be present. Where the charter expresses when and hew special nieelings of the stockholders shall and may be called by the officers, there is no implication that the officers may convene them in any ether way than is expressed. The fourth section fixes the annual meeting of the stockholders, their powers and the number and qualifications of voters. Section five diiccts the manner of conducting the election of officers and provides that if it .shall happen at any time that an election of tl-e officers or any of them shall net be made it shall be law ful te held such election en any day there after by giving at least ten days notice. The language of this section contemplates that an adjournment may be necessary. It implies that the body which adjourns shall name the time. This assembly, having the electoral, legislative and all "ether cor porate powers at the aunual meeting, is the sole judge of the necessity for an ad journment and the adjourned meeting is a continuation of the annual. There cannot be two annual meetings. In all cases of meetings of the stockholders the charter directs at least twenty days previous no tice except in this, where ten days notice is geed as respects present or absent stock holders. The annual meeting is net called by any oue ; it is provided in the charter, and, by giving a short net ice, may held an adjourned meeting. The secre tary is required te publish the prescribed notice preceding the aunual meeting, and the president and secretary shall sign the notice directed in the fifth section. Then the words and the context, I think, aie clear that the assembly, en failure te elect officers or finish its -ether business, may adjourn te a day. Certainly the charter does net contemplate the neglect of the stockholders te held the mcctiug en the second Monday of January in every year. That meeting is deemed as certain te take place as the meeting of citizens en the day appointed by law for the holding of elec tions for state and municipal officer::. A by-law fixes the place of meeting un less especially changed by the managers. In absence of notice every stockholder knows or may knew when and where the meeting will be by looking at the charter and by-law. With such certainty as te time and place, notice for twenty days is directed te be previously given, yet, when no meeting has been held at all, the filth section is construed te authorize the presi dent or secretary te appoint a meeting and give notice for only ten days. By this con struction, when the time of the annual meeting is known te every elector, the longer nptice is required, and when un known, the shorter. Is that reasonable ..- just? The simple duty is impesec en tlie president or secretary te sign the notice no ether and construction enlarges that duty into a power given only in the twentv first section te the officers therein named. This construction appears te me wholly unwarranted. I have supposed that when a charter provides tlw mode of doing a thing and names the person who shall de it, that settled rules prohibit an interpie-t-itien that it may be done in a different way by ether persons. If no assembly shall have been held en the charter day no power is given in sections four and five te the stockholder or any office or officers of the company te call a meeting en another day. In my opinion this part of section five referred te has reference only te a failure te elect when the annual meeting is held. It is said that such a construction ne cessitates the reading into the section of words net only net written there, but which, if written in, would render the section unavailing in the very case most lik'cly te be needed, but the construction which has been adopted necessitates that kind of reading and also the giving of powers te a president or secretary which are withheld by the charter ; powers expressly given te certain officers subject te condi tions by section twenty-ene. This clause referred te in section five is availing when ever the annual meeting is unable te finish itsbusinc3s en the day appointed, and as it appears te me was net intended te avail when that meeting is net held. If pet held a given number of stockholders may com pel the calling of a special meeting or a special meeting may be called by the president and managers, aud in that pro pre vision is secured te the stockholders the right te elect officers.' True, at such meet ing a minority can neither elect officers nor repeal by-laws aud enact ethers ; yet, a majority may de and perform any cor porate act for which the meeting was called. When se full prevision is made, there is little danger of officers perpetuat ing their power against the will of a ma jority of the stockholders. It is doubtless the intention of the charter te conserve the stockholders' rights against selfish officers or a scheming minority. Te "that end, power is vested in the president and managers te call a special meeting when ever they deem it expedient, in ono-feurth the stokheldcrs te force a call, and a safe guard ever such meeting protects the in terests of all in providing that no business except that named in the call, sliall be transacted, nor unless a majority le pres ent in person or by proxy. The resolutions of the managers, aud the notice signed by the scrctary, evidence a call for the special meeting en March 14, 18S1. Under the twenty-first section, had a majority desired te elect new officers, or te formally re-elect the incumbents, noth ing steed in the way, but if the majority were satisfied, and for that reason did net attend, the minority of stockholders was as harmless as it actually out-voted. As I view tiie charter and by-laws, I am im pelled te the conclusion that there is as little reason for declaring these persons voted for by the minority duly elected offi cers as would be, had there been a majority of lawful votes cast against them. This charter contains full previsions re specting the officers aud their election, as well as these relating te the rights and powers of the stockholders, aud its terms are controlling. It declares that the cor porations shall net be dissolved en failure te elect officers en the charter day, and that the officers of the preceding year shall continue te act until an election shall take place. The officers shall continue in office for oue year and until ethers arc chosen. There is no impending danger of disselu lien of the corporation for want of officers, li the election et .March 1-3. 1S31, was void, and no forced coustiutieus arc nc ccssnry te avoid such catastrophe, the stat utes and adjudications made for or incases vliere the charters fail te .provide against the consequence of neglect te elect officers are inapplicable. The parties agree that the only question for consideration of this court is whether the election of Match, 11, 1881, was held under the twenty first .sec tion of the company's charter, and there fore is valid unless a majority value of the stockholders attended. I have indicated some reasons for my conviction that the stockholders, or sueh of them as may cheese te assemble, cannot be prevented from holding their annual meeting en the da)' and at the place named iu the charter and by-laws, by the secretary's ne ne sileet te give the previous notice diiecl, and in the absence of that notice, in the places fixed by the by-laws. That having then and there convened, if for any causes they cannot lawfully proceed with the business, they may adjourn te a day certain, and have process of the courts te compel the officers te de the thing prescribed for the holding of said meeting ; that the secretin y has no power te call a meeting under any circum stances ; that the president and managers have no "such power except as provided by said twenty-first section, and that the spe cial meeting for said election was called and held under that section. I am net persuaded that the meeting called by the president and managers under the very terms of the twenty-first section was iu fact an annual meeting held under the fourth and fifth sections. With great respect for the judgment of the com I below aud of the majority of this court, and sensible that the final decree settles that I am altogether mistaken, yet te me it serins that the previsions of the charter touching the questions at issue arc turned upside down, and therefore I dis sent.
