R. R. COMMISSION
HAS HALTED SUITS
Until the InjunCtiOnS Are
Disposed of.

MONTGOMERY, ALA, Dec g.
(SpeciaD -President Henderson of
the Alabama Railroad Commission
issued a sweeping order yesterday
suspending all cases at issue before
the commission affecting rates on
certain roads, either in rectifying dis
examinations or fixing rates for those
roads which are mentioned in Judge
Jones restraining order. This ruling
of President Henderson practically
suspends all of the Offices of the Rail
road Commission except as relates to
corporations outside of the railroad
list.
The action of the Railroad Com
mission was the result of plea made
by attorneys for railroads interested
in a decision of this contention. The
plea was made under the protection
of Judge Jones injunction order, and
the Commission Immediately took
cognizance of it. 1t was shown to
the Commission that the adjudication
of this case could have but one termi-
nation that would not violate the Fed
eral Courts order. This was the
rate not to be reduced, as it would
be a direct violation of the order,
which prevents the reduction of rail
road rates affecting those lines par
ties to the injunction proceedings now
pending in the Federal Court
