Recent Decision of Interest to COM
mon Carriers.

mon Carriers.
The United States supreme court in
its decision rendered the first of the
week in the case of the interstate COM
merce commission against the Alabama
Midland, Georgia Central railway ct al,
where citizens Of Troy, Ala, charged
that the companies were dtsregarding
the interstate commerce law, CORE
spends with similar decisions which
have been handed down by the court
on previous occasions.
The issue in this case was over the
fling of rates with the commission
when there was no competition be
tween railroad and water transporta-
ton companies 1t was decided that
the roads need not file rate sheets first,
thus affirming the holding of the lower
court. The plaintiff alleged discrlm-
nation against Troy and in favor OF
Montgomery. The railroads responded
with the defense that their rates were
necessary to meet water transporta-
ton.
Justice Shiras, who delivered the
opinion. stated that the division was
not tended to relieve common carriers
from the restraints of the third and
fourth sections of the law, but that
its purpose was that these sections
are mot so stringent and imperative
as to exclude in all cases matter OF
competition in determining the ques-
ton of undue and unreasonable prefer
ence."
Upon the other point as to whether
railroad companies can be relieved
from the operation Of the long and
short haul clause of the interstate
commerce act without first invoking
the consent of the commission, Justice
Shiras said:
I'VE are unable to suppose that con-
gross intended to forbid common car
Tiers in cases where the circumstances
and conditions are substantially dis
similar from making different rates
until and unless the commission shall
authorize the INTO do So"
Justice Harlan dissented from the
opinion, remarking that it went far
toward defeating the objects Of the
interstate commerce law, adding:
1T not only minimiZes the power OF
the interstate commerce commission
far below the intent on of congress WITH
reference to it. but it puts into the
hands of the railroad companies the
power to so arrange the transporta-
ton business of the country as to de-
stroy the business Of intermediate
points"
