Columbus, O., April 2G.-That the
Interstate commerce commission has
Jurisdiction In cases involving the
practices OF railroads as well as pow
ers TO regulate rates was the important
ruling made by q. h, Clark Of Iowa,
member of the commission, who has
begun the hearing of the charges OF
discrimination filed by the Ohio rail-
way commission against the Wheeling
and Lake Erie and the Hooking Val
ley railways,
The cases Involve the use OF private
or leased cars. The Ohio railway CON-
mission ruled that such cars shoult
be taken into account In the dis
tribution Of cars 10 coal companies
which did not have private or leased
cars.
Proceedings were then brought In
the federal court at Cincinnati en-
Joining the Ohio commission from en-
forcing its ruling.
The attorneys for the railroads
argued before the Interstate commerce
commission here that the Ohio coni.
mission was, In fact. II not technically,
In contempt In endeavoring to enforce
its ruling through the interstate com.
mission.
Commissioner Clark held that under
the decision in the Druy case the com
mission has jurisdiction in cases of
practice as we'll as rate making and
that the proceedings In the federal
court should have been brought before
the commission. He stated that II
the case went to the supreme court
that body would simply declare the
proceedings one which should have
been brought before the interstats .
commission. The Ohio commission
was not, therefore, In contempt
Commissioner Clark ordered the
hearing to proceed and the taking Of
testimony will be continued
