Private Car Concern Does Not Want
Its Affairs Investigated.

Chicago, Ill, May Glamour & Co.
have called in question the right of the
interstate commerce commission to
make inquiry into the operation of
their private car lines. In a reply to a
demand from the commission that the
company submit to an investigation of
the fruit-carrying traffic in the state
of Michigan, the Armour company has
filed with the commission an answer in
which it is stated that it is not within
the legal power of that body to make
the investigation. The jurisdiction of
the commission is questioned upon the
ground that the Armour car line is
not a common carrier within the
meaning of the interstate commerce
act but is a private corporation en-
gagged in a business which is other than
that of a common carrier.
