828 ARTICLE 23.

rule or regulation shall exempt such common carrier from the liability
hereby imposed; provided that nothing herein shall deprive any holder of
such receipt of any remedy or right of action which he may have under
existing law: Any common carrier issuing such receipt shall be entitled to
recover from the person, firm or corporation who may be responsible for
such loss, damage or injury, such amount as it may be required to pay to
the owners of such containers, as may be evidenced by any receipt or judg-
ment therefor: No common carrier shall charge a greater rate where such
receipts are issued than they would otherwise be entitled to charge for
the services performed.

376. Whenever the Commission shall be of the opinion, after a hearing
upon its own motion, or upon a complaint made as provided in this sub-
title, that any railroad company operates or intends to operate in Maryland,
any freight train or trains, without employing- thereon a sufficient number
of men for the safe and efficient operation of said train or trains, the
Commission may order or require such railroad company to employ such a
number of men upon any of its freight trains, operated or to be operated
in the State of Maryland, as in the judgment of the Commission is requisite
for the safe and efficient operation thereof; any such order to be enforcable
or reviewable as provided in this sub-title for the enforcement and review
of other orders of the Commission.

377. If, in the judgment of the commission, any common carrier, rail-
road corporation, or street railroad corporation, does not run trains enough,
or cars enough, or possess or operate motive power enough, reasonably to
accommodate the traffic, passenger and freight, transported by or offered
for transportation to it, or does not run its trains or cars with sufficient
frequency, or at a reasonable or proper time, having regard to safety, or
does not run any train or trains, car or cars, upon a reasonable time sched-
ule for the run, the commission shall, after hearing either on its own motion
or after complaint, have power to make an order directing any such railroad
corporation, or street railroad corporation, to increase the number of its
trains, or of its motive power, or to change the time for starting its trains
or cars, or to change the time schedule for the run of any train or car, or
make any other suitable order that the commission may determine reason-
ably necessary to accommodate and transport the traffic, passenger or
freight, transported or offered for transportation.

Order of commission requiring a railroad when an express train is late to hold
it back until local trains have passed and thus depriving the railroad of all dis-
cretion in respect to operation of its train in case of such delays, is unreasonable
and void. Powers of commission should not be extended by implication beyond
what is necessary for their just and reasonable execution. N. C. Rwy. Co. v. Public
