ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Decision.

The United States Supreme Court yester-
day affirmed the decision Of the lower court
in the case of the Interstate-commerce
Commission against the Alabama Midland
and the Georgia Central Railroad Company
and others. The case arose out Of charges
by citizens of Troy, Ala, that the compa-
MES were disregarding the long-and-short
haul clause of the interstate-commerce law.
The point at issue was whether, when there
was competition between railroad and
water transportation, the roads must first
file lower rates with the Interstate-com-
MERGE Commission and it was decided in
the negative by the court.
The opinion of the court was handed down
by Justice Shiras. The action was begun
before the Interstate-commerce Commission
in 1892 on petition from the Board of
Trade of Troy, Ala, alleging discrimina
ton by the roads against that town in the
interest of Montgomery and other places.
The roads defended their rates as necessary
to meet water transportation, but the COM
mission decided against them and also held
that preference in rates should not be
granted except upon authority first secured
from the commission. The court to-day
overruled the commission on both points,
holding on the first that competition is
one of the most obvious and effective Cir
cumstanceS that make the conditions under
which a lOng-and-Short maui Is performed
substantially dissimilar" Justice Shiras
stated, however, that the decision was not
intended to relieve common carriers from
the restraints of the third and fourth sec
tions of the law, but that its purport was
that these sections are mot so stringent
and imperative as to exclude in all cases
matter of competition in determining the
questions of undue and unreasonable pref
erence. Upon the other point as to whether
railroad companies can be relieved from
the operations of the long-and-short haul
clause of the interState-commerce act with
out first invoking the consent of the COM
mission, Justice Shiras said: I'VE are UNI
able to suppose that Congress intended to
forbid common carriers in cases where the
circumstances and conditions are substan-
tally dissimilar from making different
rates until and unless the commission shall
authorize them to do So" This opinion was
in line with the decision of the Circuit Court
OF Appeals for the Sixth circuit, which was
therefore affirmed.
Justice Harlan dissented from the opinion,
remarking that 1t went far towards defeat
ing the objects of the interState-commerce
law, adding: 1T not Only minimizes the
power of the Interstate-commerce Commits
sion far below the intention of Congress
with reference to it. but it puts into the
hands of the railroad companies the power
to so arrange the transportation business
of the country as to destroy the business
of intermediate points"
