Mccormick Decision.
DISCRIMINATION MAY BE JUSTIFIED
ny Competition Under Certain car.
cumstanccs, Was Held by the
court in lis Decision.

Washington, March % The interstate
commerce commission will appeal to the
United States supreme court, from the de-
cision OF the United States court OF APP
peals a. New Orleans refusing an injunc-
ton against offending roads in the cases
of the commission against the Western
and Atlantic in one case and the Clyde
Steamship Coinpany-et Al in two others,
involving freight determinations.
In these cases It Is explained by the
commission that the court has simply held
that the facts developed showed COM
petition of such force and extent as to JUS
tify the greater charges for the short hanls
than for the long ones, citing the prlnci-
pies, first, that competition may justify
discrimination under certain circum-
stances; and, second, that each case OF
violation must stand OH its own facts, as
held by the supreme court.

Roads Are Preparing to Resist an
Advance of Prices.
The new car building trust, which iu-
clrdss all the big manufacturing concerns
except the Pullman and Wagner sleeping
car people. is very apt TO experience a
great many difficulties which do not fall
to the lot of the average trust. The effect
Of the combine will be to absolutely cut
off all competition and force the railroad
companies to accept the trusts figures on
cars or build Themselves. This last, 1t is
claimed is Just what the bis railroad
companies are now apparently arranging
to do. Informal word to this effect Is said
to have reached the minor operating OFF,
cials OF big lines. and Il is being gener-
ally discussed. The building of cars has
never been engaged IN extensively by the
roads, IL having heretofore been cheaper
TO contract for them on the outside. Like
other corporations when railroad com :
pany finds a necessity for more cars, IT
invites bids from private companies. which
enables them to realize from the beneficial
effects OF close figuring In competition.
The combination now formed will remove
competition and compel the roads TO pay
the price fixed by the trust. 1t will be
comparatively easy for most of the COM
panies to build their own cars, It is
claimed About all that will be required
will be the enlargement of their erecting
capacity as all roads OF any Importance
are prepared to build some equipment,
from locomotives down TO fat cars. This
will probably he the outcome IL the trust
advances prices to any material extent
