CLASH WITH The COURTS
Interstate Commissions Hands Tied
by Injunctions.
Helpless tn Have It's Decisions Put
i'm Effect Under the Present
Laws.

Injunctions granted BY the Federal
courts In the States are fast rendering
the Interstate Commerce Commission
helpless in its efforts 10 enforce the
Hepburn law. The condition presented
TO the commission is at the moment
discouraging in the extreme. and until
the United States Supreme Court shall
have passed upon some OF the mooted
questions raised by the Federal courts.
the commission can do little more than
go on with its hearings, issue its orders.
and submit 10 the humiliation OF seeing
them set aside by injunctions granted by
the Federal district judges
A case in point is that Of the Pacific
Coast lumbermen against the railroad
lines Of the Northwest, which has been
tied up by injunctions and bids fair 70
remain so for several months TO come.
A few months ago the railroad compa-
MES in the Northwest announced an in
crease IN the rates Of lumber from Wash
ington and Oregon to points on the Mis-
souri, River, amounting to about % per
cent.
The lumbermen at once fled with the
commission complaint after complaint to
the number OF more than 200. declaring
that rates already excessive in that part
Of the country would be practically pro
hibitive under the announced rate OF 20
per cent advance. The lumbermen also
appealed to the Federal courts. and got
an injunction before the rate went into
effect. Now the fight which the lumber
men designed TO make with reference TO
the alleged unfair rates at the Portland
terminal Of the Washington and Oregon
Short Line roads is hung up. The com
mission is unable even 10 set a hearing
for the case, though il is prepared. and
attorneys on both sides are anxious to so
on with It. The hands Of the commits
sion are tied. however. and its members
are we'll aware that any decision that
might be reached would he rendered null
by an injunction from the same source,
by which the announced traffic rate Of
the railroads Is made nugatory
The members of the commission, in their
collective and personal capacity are Won
dering where they are at, and some Of
them have come to the conclusion that
about the only way out Of the dilemma
is 10 appeal to Congress to have its juris-
diction better defined
II is the opinion of members Of the
commission that the Hepburn law is es-
sentially weak along the lines stated. and
that it should be amended by Congress so
as to settle the fundamental authority of
the commission in matters relating to the
regulation Of railroads doing an inter-
state business.
