Washington. -. C., Nov. 9-The Unit
ed States Supreme court has affirmed
the decision Of the lower court III the
case of the interstate commerce commits
sion against the Alabama Midland and
the Georgia Central Railway company
and others. The case arose out of
charges 10y citizens of Troy, Ala, that the
companies were diSrcgarding the long and
short haul clause of the Interstate com
morce law. The point at issue was
whether, when there was 10 competition
between railroad and water transpOrta-
ton. the roads must first file lower rates
with the interstate commerce commission,
and it was decided III the negative 10y the
court
The opinion Of the court was handed
down by Justice Shiras. The action was
begun before the interstate commerce
commission in 1892 upon a petition from
the board Of trade of Troy. Ala, alleging
a discrimination by the roads against
that town in the interest Of Munt-om-
cry and other places. The roads defend
cd their rates as necessary to meet water
trans sportation, but the commission dccid-
81 against them, and also held that pref
crance in rates should not be given cX
cept upon authority Of the commission.
The court today Ovcrruled the commits
sion on both points. holding. first, that
competition is one of the most obvious
and effective cirCu.lStanccS that make the
