TELEGRAPH COMPANIES MUST
NOT SHOW DISCRIMINATION
United states Court Of Appeals Holds
That bucket shops" Are En-
titled to took Quotations.

The United States Court Of Appeals, in
a decision rendered yesterday. upheld the
Federal law that telegraph companies are
common carriers and must serve all alike
without discrimination. The opinion was
handed down in a judgment reversing the
action Of the lower court in the case in
which the Chicago Board OF Trade sought
to secure "A perpetual Injunction against
the Chicago Grain and Trust Company Of
Kansas City n the Postal Telegraph
Company. restraining them from using the
m1rket quotations Of the board.
The Chicago Board Of Trade. In its orig
inal petition. alleged that its annual re-
turn from furnishing stock quotations to
customers amounted to $1,000. and that
such compensation was materially re
duced when bucket shops" were allowed
TO receive the quotations
The suit developed from a contract OF
the telegraph companies with the Christie
Commission Company OF Kansas City and
others. whereby the telegraph company
agreed to furnish the company with stock
quotations. In reversing the lower court
the Court OF Appeals held that the clause
in the contract which the Board Of Trade
had with the telegraph company. forbid
ding it TO furnish quotations 10 bucket
shops" was invalid.
