IMPORTANT RULING
ON COMMERCE LAW

An important ruling on the inter
state commerce law was made by
Judge Rohnert. Friday. In the case OF
the Houghton Elevator & Machine
Co. against the Detroit Candy Co. The
plaintiff. a Toledo concern. was given
the contract to install a new elevator
In the plaintiffs factory In Detroit, and
also to repair an old one. The next
day the contract was Cancelled by the
Detroit company. and the Toledo COM
pany then started action for damages.
IL directing a verdict for the de-
PENDANT, Judge Rohnert held that the
Toledo concern had no right under
the interstate commerce law to install
an elevator In Michigan, in that they
had filed no papers with the secre-
tary OF state. and paid no fee.
The company could ship an eleva-
tor into Michigan, but the work OF
installation and the repair work were
in violation of the interstate commerce
law. the Judge held.
