United States Circuit Court, Three

Distribution.
(By Associated Press.)

(By Associated Press.)
BALTIMORE, MD, Sept. 23.-The
application of the Baltimore & Ohtb
Railroad Company for preliminary
Injunction to restrain the Interstate
Commerce Commission from enforc-
ing an order relative to coal car dis
tribution, was denied by the United
States circuit court here today.
The order to which the railroad
company objected was one requiring
the railroad company to include so
called "private' and foreign railway
fuel" cars. in making up its percent
age of allottments of cars.
Judges Morris, Pritchard and Gof,
joined in the decision. which 1t is
said, cannot be carried to a higher
court because there is no appeal
from a decision on an application fo7
a preliminary restraining order. which
was the point at issue in this case.
The decision was announced brief
ly, the judges saying simply tina;
they believe the Interstate Commerce
Commission has the authority to TAX
the action OF which the railroad com
planned.
