A New Loophole for Coal and Iron Police
A discussion on Pennsylvania coal and iron police created by 1865 and 1866 acts. The private coal or rail companies hire and pay these officers who are commissioned by the Governor and act as public officers. The piece questions whether master servant relations exist and if companies are liable for cops actions, referencing Judge Sadler's decision in Fagan v Pittsburgh Terminal Coal Corp.
