UPHoLD COMMISSION.
Has Right to Step All Unreasonable
Rates.

Rates.
Washington, May 27.-A decision
favorable to the Interstate Commission,
was rendered by the Supreme Court
of the United States today in the case
of the Southern Railway Company
against a Georgia lumber firm, III. IL.
Tiff & Co., involving the right of the
commission to prohibit the railroad
companies from advancing freight rates
on pine lumber companies from the
South to Ohio River points.
The decision was handed down by
Justice McKenna. The suit was the
result of an order by the Commission
commanding the railroad company 10
desist from collecting an advance or
. cents per hundred feet on lumber
shipments from the Southern States to
Ohio River points because the new
rates was unreasonable and unjust.
The company appealed from this rul-
ing to the United States Circuit
Court for the Southern District of
Georgia, but both that Court and the
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Clrcuit
sustained the Commissions order ana
the trial court entered decree enjoin-
ing the road against the enforcement
of the advanced rate. The decision
rendered today affirms all previous
rulings. The case has attracted much
attention 1t was only test suit as
the advance in rates was made by all
the Southern roads. and one of the
charges was that the roads had acted
in concert to raise prices contrary 10
the antitrust law. 1t was shown mat
some of the roads had not complained
of the old rate as unremunerative, but
had explained the advance as in pur-
suance of a desire to share in the
phenomenal prosperity OF the coun-

PRICES GO sKYwARD.
Neat Trust VIII Force the Is.ue 7,
Chicago.

Meat Trust VIII Force the Issue In
Chicago.
Chicago, May 27..-Meat prices in
Chicago may jump skyward this week
unless the beef trust recedes from
Its recently anhouBced Intention to de-
lay payment on certain of its live stock
purchases until they have passed the
government post mortem examination.
The packers notified the commission
firms that beginning today they no
longer would stand the loss on con-
demned cattle. and In order to protect
themselves they had found II neces-
sary to refuse payment on Cow STUFF
until II has passed the government in
spectors.
During the latter part of last week
thousands of letters and kilograms
were sent out by the commission men
to their customers notifying them of
the action that had been taken by the
packers and advising them to withhold
all shipments of cattle to the big mar
kets controlled by the trust until the
difficulty is adjusted. This is expected
to cut the meat supply tremendously
before the week is over. and prices are
expected to go up correspondingly.
Commission men declare 1t is the In
tention of the packers to enforce the
rule with regard to cow stuff" now In
the hope that similar action may be
taken later with reference to their
purchases of sheep and hogs.
Cow stuff" is a minor item In pack
ing house business, and commission
men say II is for this reason that the
packers selected 1t as the objective IN
their new ruling.
Some of the leading commission
firms and shippers have communicated
with the secretary of agriculture at
Washington with regard to the new
action on the part of the packers and
II Ia said assurances have been given
that any attempt to delay payments on
live stock as threatened by the pack
ers would result in the withdrawal OF
the inspection service.
