Railroads Will Appeal

The railroad companies against whom
United States Judge Thompson decided at
Cincinnati last week In the interstate COM
merce commission suit gave notice Sat
urday OF appeal to the United States Su-
preme Court. The roads affected by the
decision are the Cincinnati. Hamilton and
Dayton. the Pennsylvania, the Big Four,
the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern.
the New York Central and the Baltimore
and Ohio Southwestern.
The suit was argued by the Proctor &
Gamble Company to compel the roads to
regulate freight rates in respect to the
Proctor & Gamble Company as the roads
had been ordered to do by the interstate
commerce commission.
In the notice of appeal the railroad COM
panies claim that the order of the commits
sion enforced by the courts order is not
lawful order. and that 1t should not have
been enforced that the commission erred
in Its holding. in that the commission held
that the classification of soap In less than
carload lots Is not controlled by the classia-
cation of soap In carload lots, and that the
court erred IN entering decree and injunc-
ton against the railroad companies. and
also Ia moi hss1nG dismissed the suit.
