J, Labor claimants nn entitled to be' paid out of the proceeds arising from a Sheriff's sale of personal property of their employ ers, for wotk donii alter a levy made by nn ('X(ciitlon-credltnr, and within six months immediately preceding the sale. The opinion after discussing other mat ters connected with tho exceptions to the ,,, , lo'' rcP" 6aJ'8i Conceding that a legal levy was made on tho 24th day ot Slay, 1884, that tho purpose of the execution was not merely for the security of the debt, but for the bonntlile puiposo of collection, nnd that tho delay of the Sheriff In making sale, was against positive instructions of tho plaintiff, and that tliu slay ordered by tho court, from the 18th dav of October. 1884. to the 7lli i daof January, 1835, was a legal siispen I slon of the remedy of the plaintiff, and not chargeable us nny fault, or laches on his part, the question still remains, whether the labor claims for work fter tho levy, and within six months immediately pre- ceding tho sale, lire entitled to priority In the distribution. The solution of this question is to bu found In tho proper construction of thu Wages Act of 0th of April, 1872. By thu first section ! is enacted, that all moneys I due for labor, by the class of persons and In t lie kinds of business therein specified, for any period of time not exceeding six months, immediately preceding the salu - OM.t (..nr..- f ,1.

It is cot-tended by counsel for tho exc cution-cro.Ulor that the statute gives nn lien or preference after a levy, for tho rea son llntt it would impair vested rights uc quired by virtue of tho levy. This view of tliu law finds support several opinions of the Court of Common Pleas of Schuylkill county, to bo found in Schrader vs Burr 10 Phil. Hep. 020, Klndlg vs Atkinson 34 Leg. Int. 100, In Graham vs. .Machine Co. 35 Leg. Int, 70. Judge Butler, in the Common Pleas of Chester county, confirmed nn auditor's report which followed the decision in Atkinson vs. Klndli! supra, Tho opposite of these opinions is held by the Judges of the Common Pleas ol Phil delphhla a. will be seen by a reference ti the cases of Askam vs. Wright 1 W. N. C. 150, StcCuttlo vs. Fitzgerald 2 W. N. C 390, Slatzlngcr ct id. vs. Publishing Co. 14 W. N. O. 00, and by the Ccmmon Pleas court of Cumberland county, In Naglo vs Cumberland Ore Bank Co. 1 Chester Co Hep. 491. On some two or tin cu occasions these conflicting authorities have been cited In nrgument before the Supreme Court, but no diclslon has been rendered upon the question by that tribunal, for the reason that thu cases argued did not in volve n construction of tho net. Being still an open question It must be decided in accordance with tho intention of the Leg isluturc, ascertained according to establish ed rules of construction. It is a cardinal rulu that the Intention of thu Legislature must govern In the con struction of statutes. When thu words used nrr not ambiguous or obscure, the in tention must be collected from them. Tin words used ure lo bo taken in their ordi nary sense, Dwnrris on Statutes 203 und note 204, and ure not to bu extended be yond thut ini-unlng to comprehend cases within the supposed Intention of the mak ers. Dwarris on Statutes 210. The best rule lo nrriveat the meaning of the Legislature is to abide by tliu words used, according to their ordinary meaning and import, per Thompson J, in Ihmsen vs. Navigation Co. 32 Pa. Stitte Hep. 157 It would be dangerous to put upon the language used a construction, which would amount to holding that the Legislut uro did not mean what It has expressed. Dwairis on S ntutes 215, 20 Wendell 555 In Slate vs. Urcwsti r 42 N. J. L. 125, the rule of construction is thus stated. "Where the language of a statute Is clcai and unambiguous, nnd its literal meaning leads to no absurd results, and is not re pugnant to other paits of the statute, such literal meanlnc, should be accredited to it, iu lis exposition." Courts cannot correct what they may deem either excesses oi omissions in legislation, nor relieve against the occasional harsh operntlon of statutory provisions without the danger of doing more Injury than good. Authority in note 33 Am Dec. 597, It is very clear that when the Legislature in tliu Act of 1872 used thu words, "Sale or transfer by execution or otherwise," It intended to give to the word sale IU menu ing us universally understood. The words themselves are not ambiguous, nor are they made so by connection with other words in tho slntute. On the contrary, the question of liens prior to the performance of labor, was in the mind of the Legislature as shown by the proviso to thu 4th section, which declares, "that no lien of mortgage or judgment entered before such labor l performed, shall be affected or Impaired thereby." Tho protection thus given to mnrteages and judgments against labor claims accruing nfter their entry of record, cl-arly implies that other liens aru not so protected. Tho naming of mortenge nnd judgment liens, according to well estab. llsiied rules of reasoning, precludes the Idea that nny others wcro Intended, If the In tention nail been to limit the tlmo to six months before n levy on personal property, It Is a fair presumption that proper words to express that intention would have been Introduced Into this proviso, Tho courts have no right to Interpolate the words, "or of execution issued," following tho word "entered," in this proviso; to do so would be to legislate and not to construu. Tliu case of Schiiapp's appeal, 2 W. N. O. 149, cited by tho court in delivering the opinion in Klndlg vs. Atkinson, 34 Leg, Int. 100, affords uo aid In deciding the question in hand. Tho wages claim in that case was made upon the proceeds of real estate for work done after entry of Judgm -nt, By thu uxpress terms of tin proviso above quoted the lien of the jiulg. ment wns protected from tho wages claim. Tho Supreme Court decline to pass upon tho question, whether the six months limi tation precedes tho snle, Thero appears to bu good reason why a labor claim should not hivo preference over tho lieu of a Ju lirment or iiiortgugo entered of record, and open to thu Inspec tion of all pirsons, Whether liko reason should bu allowed to operate In behulf of I an execution creditor is not tliu question which the courts have to decide, Tho Leg. Islature has full power to declare and reg. ulato thu remedies for the collection of dibts. Whenever iu its judgment onu - class of creditors is moio meritorious than another, preference may bo glveu by stat ' uto to such class. I When persona give credit to a minu. fiicturcr employing laborers and inerhanlcs, theydoso with the full knowleduo that thu law In plain words, declares that such 1 laborers shall bo paid their wugus not ex. ' ceedlng two hundred dollurs, earned with, in six months piccediug any sale, which they may causu to bu madn upon an execu tion. It Is argedu that theru U absurdity J Iu tho construction ot tho statute which would glvo priority to claims for wages earned after a levy. But la It not nt least equally absurd to hold u mcra paper levy sufficient to defeat labor claims, without removal of the properly or putting a person in charge, or doing nny other act by tho sheriff, equivalent to notice to mo canlcs nud laborers, that the property is lo cally out of tho hands of their employer and In thu custody of the law t The Act of 1873 was modelled niter other local Acts which show that tho distinction between a Hen by laborers up to the time of sale, and a lien up to tho time of levy, was fully un dcrstood by tho law-making power. The local Act for Schuylkill and other counties, passed tho 30th day of Marsh, 1859. P. L. pngo 318 provides for tho payment of la borers, etc., up to the tlmu of sale by ex ecution, In language Identical with the first section of tho Act of 1872. In tho third section of tho same Act, the payment of rent ton landlord Is limited to a time Immediately prior to tho taking of the property In execution or levy. On the 11th day of April 1802, a local net for Schuylkill and two other counties was passed, (I. L. 470) to protect tho wages of labor, giving preference In cases of sales by execution, but limiting the lien for wnges to six months immediately preceding tho levy. It thus appears that the legislature by appropriate words, limits tho lien for wages to the tlmo of levy when ills Intend. cd to be so limited, and extends it to thu tlmu of sale, when the term sale Is employ ed. On the 13th nay of Juno 1883, an Act was passed, (P L. 110) amending the Act of 1872, by extending lis provlsons to other classes of laboiers &c. It may fairly be presumed that thu legislature knew of tho conflicting decisions in regard to tho orig inal Act. If it had been intended to limit the lien to the time of levy In accordance with the decisions first nbovc cited no doubt upt words would have been employ ed for that purpose. Instead of that, tho same limitations, and by thu sumu words, is rccnaetrd for the new class of claimants for wages, as is contained In the first section of the origin, nl Act, thus impliedly approving tho con structtor. put upon thu Act by the Courts of Philadelphia. But however that may bc.Inm constrain ed lo hold with the latter courts, that the language of the statute Is loo strong to be limited in its operation fry construction, to the limu of a levy by execution, against thu plain language, that the period from which Hie tlmu of thu existence of the prefcr'ed lien shall be computed, "hall be the sale anil transfer. So holding, t.ie first and second exceptions of tho labor claimants must be sustained. In view of the conflicting decisions in re gard to the meaning und Intention of the statute, and In the hope that these vexed questions may be put ut rest t.y un appeal in tins case, l nave endeavored, In con nectlou with the report of the uudltor to present the case In such a manner ns will necessarily settle the law upon the subject. I have but a word to add. If the h-jds- laturc did uot in lend or mean what the language imports, It has been during these fourteen years negligent of duty In not amending the Act by the use of language declaring what mcnnlug they did Intend should be ascribed to the words used. The conclusion which I have readied, requires me to reverse the rennrt-of the auditor awarding the fund to the execution creditor und to award tliu lund to thu labor claimants. Stillwater.
