RAILWAY DISCRIMINATION CASE.
Decision mt Chattanooga Sustaining
the Interstate Commission.

CHATTANOOGA, TENN, December a.
Judge Severens. OF Kalamazoo, Mich.
sitting In the United States Circuit Court
here TO try cases, to-day rendered de-
cision in the case of the Interstate Com
merce Commission against the old East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Rail-
way Company and other railroad COM
panies entering Chattanooga.
The case grew out Of complaint made
by the Chamber of Commerce, OF this
city, to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission In 1892, that the said railroads
were discriminating against this city in
the matter of freight rates in favor OF
Nashville and Memphis. both of which
cities are In competition with the bust
ness OF Chattanooga.
The point raised was that the railroads
were not justified in placing Nashville on
the water rate as against Chattanooga.
The question OF the application OF "the
MISUNDERSTANDING" clause 10 the case
at issue was also raised and decided.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
had decided that the roads were dis
eliminating, and that Chattanooga should
be put on the same basis with Nashville
and should be given the same rates.
In his decision Judge Severens said:
UNLESS the carriers can show where the
commission failed to take into account
some material right which the carriers
had, will sustain the order OF the COM
mission"
