SURPRISED AT ACTION.
Commerce Commission Expresses
Wonder at Courts Attitude.

Washington. Nov. 6.-Surprise was ex-
pressed by officials of the interstate
commerce commission today on receipt of
the information that the United States
circuit court at Chicago had granted even
temporary injunction in what is known
as the Missouri rate case The complain.
from which the order of the commission
originated, developed into one of the most
important cases with which the commits
sion had to deal with in the past year.
1t was brought by the Burnham, Kama,
similar concerns in Kansas City. against
the Rock Island Railroad company and
practically all of the railroads doing
business between Atlantic seshoard points
and Kansas City. In effect the complaint
was that the rates on class commodities
between Atlantic seaboard points and
Kansas City were too high and that they
Disseminated against Kansas City as
compared with many other points in the
west and northwest.
Ii was developed by the commissions
inquiry that no through rates existed be-
tween Atlantic seaboard points and Kan
sas City on class commodities, but that
the rates paid by Kansas City merchants
were the through rates from Atlantic
points to Mississippi river crossings, plus
the sum of the local rates from Missis-
sippi river crossings to Kansas City and
nearby points.
The order Of the commission in the case
is that the rates on first class freight
from Mississippi crossings to Kansas City
points should be reduced 8 cents per 100
pounds Proportionate reductions also
were made on second. third, fourth and
fifth classes of freight between the same
points.

FREIGHT CASE
Temporary Injunction Re.
straining Interstate Com
merce Commission.

chicago. Nov. 6-Judges Grosscun.
Seaman and Baker in the United States
circuit court today granted a tempo
rarv Injunction restraining the inter
state commerce commission from car
rving into effect its order In what is
known as the Missouri river rate
case"
Judge Grosscup, in delivering the ruI-
ing of the court. said:
'.Onlv one feature of the bill in the
opinion of the court, need be spoken of
at this time That feature grows out
OF the fact that under the order of the
Interstate commerce commission a rate
Of Q cents less was given on first-class
and other classes of freight proportion
atelv TO traffic from the Atlantic sea-
board to Missouri river points than was
given to traffic originating at interme-
date points. The bill of complaint
cites the opinion of the commission
which frankly clearly shows that a diff
ferential Of 9 cents was created. To
make the reduction universal in place
of differential would put the eastern
cities on an equality with the Missouri
river cities Whether the bill and the
answer and the opinion .of the court
sufficiently show this condition is not
the question considered or ATTEMPTED to
be passed on now. The question which
the court IS concerned with is: Has the
prima facie case been made out author
izing the court to enter the interlocu-
tory order prayed for2 The rules of the
interstate commerce commission are
authorized on the ground that they
would prevent undue discrimination
The sole point to be considered is what
is undue discrimination? Discrimina-
ton is admitted. Is it due or undue?
Many points are involved in determin-
ing this question. but the court holds
that sufficient is shown in the bill to
require us 10 grant the interlocutory
order In the first place there has
grown W on the basis of the old rate
the commerce of the country. We can
not overlook that. The rule of the com
mission disturbs commercial conditions
which have grown up for years on a
basis OF the present rate. which is SUI
ficient TO warrant the court in issuing
q restraining order until the case is
finally presented.
1T may be that the parties to this
proceeding can agree on the facts so
that the cane may go 10 the supreme
court on a final record and the interloc-
utory order, and be quietly determined
in a short time.H
Leave was granted to other railroads
so wishing TO intervene in the case.
