Within the past few years innumerable companies have been formed under the gen- eral manufacturing law of this State, not only for the transa¢tion of business within the State, but for the purpose of carr; forts of operations in other and remote lc ties, Many of the petroleum companic instance, operating in Pennsylvania, are incor: porated under our State law, as well as most if not all of the silver and gold mining companies of Montana, Nevada, and evea California, The Mariposa Mining Company, With its capitallof $10,000,000, is a corpora- tion of this kind, and so are many other con- cerns whose shares are daily bought and sold in Wall street. It would be well for persons owning shares in this class of companies, or who may be in- tending to buy them, to be reminded of a provision in the act under which they are incorporated, imposing a eerious personal liubility upon individual stockholders. See tion 18 of the act res “The stockholders the provisi rally Individual aud owing to all thelr laborers, servan pret Uces for serviecs perforined for such corporation, The liability, it will be observed, is for money due to “laborers, servants, and op prentices.” The words are sufficiently com- prehensive to embrace every person em- ployed by such corporations ; and in the case ng and petroleum companies, which require the services of a great number of men, they take in nearly all the debts such companies are likely to ineur, Now, in gene- ral, “laborers, servants, and apprentices” will not work very long without getting their pay. so that when the company’s money gives ont its debt for wages does not increas: much. But cases may be readily imagined p which the arrears of wages may accumu. and when they do, they may Leeome a se.
