With compulsory liability in- surance, it was said, there would be no certainty of obtaining damages in just cases, because there would be too many claiming damages and the court dockets would be crowded almost to the exclusion of all other cases. It was further contended that law can- not take the place of education and that the latter should be forced upon thase with reckless tendencies with respect to automobile driving. Mr. Me- Breen and Mr. Phillips were appointed to attend a Chamber of Comme Pkg. meeting tonight to represent the asso- clation when arguments on the regu- lation will be heard.

After he was mustered from the service, August 31, 1865, Col. Schoon- maker was engaged in the mining and shipping of coal from the new fields along the Monongahela River, down the Ohio River. Later he sold his holdings to the late Henry Clay Frick and became interested in the Pitts- burgh and Lake Erie Railroad. Not long afterward he became vice presi- dent of the road and then chairman of the board. Banking and other features of active business life claimed his interest, but to the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie he |’ gave most of his attention.
