REBATE LAWS VALID.
Supreme Court Decision in Chesapeake
& Ohio Case Said to Legalize the
Hepburn Bill.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., Feb. 20.-By
the decision of the supreme court handed
down by Justice White, in the Chesa-
peake 4 Ohio railroad case, as reported
on Monday. Il broad extension of the in
terstate commerce law was blshed
as the law of the land.
1t was held that n railroad company,
which is Il common carrier. could not
own and mine coal or own and transport
any other commodity below the market
price so as. III effect, to make the reduc-
ton Il rebate on the cost of transporta-
ton.
The supreme court established the
broad general principle that reduction
in the price Of coal owned by a railroad
at the mines might be used as an indirect
rebate Of the transportation charge. and,
therefore, be prohibited by the original
interstate commerce law. The court had
broadened the interstate commerce law
to such an extent as to make it apparent
that the rate regulation bill passed by
the House and now pending in the Sen
ate is clearly within the authority Of
Congress.
