ASK FOR INJUNCTION.
Illinois Railroads Fight Order Of
Commerce Commission.
BECOMES EFFECTIVE JULY /

Courts Requested to Restrain the Put
ting in Force Of a New System Of
Coal Car Distribution Intended to
End Discrimination.
Chicago, June 2.-The Illinois Cen
trail and the Chicago and Alton rail-
roads have filed applications in the
United States circuit court for writs
of injunction restraining the inter
state commerce commission from nut.
ting into force an order recently is
sued directing the railroads to adopt
new system of coal car distribution.
The order which the railroads seek
to have set aside becomes effective
July and directs that in distributing
coal cars to mines along their lines
the railway companies shall take into
account all cars carried on the roads.
including foreign railway fuel, leased
or private fuel cars and fuel cars used
for the private service of the rail-
roads. The interstate commerce com.
mission held that the failure of the
roads to take all cars into account
made it possible for them to discrim-
mate against certain mine owners.
The action of the commission followed
suit before that body brought by the
Illinois Galleries company against the
railroads in which it was charged that
certain mines obtained the use of all
classes of cars, while the defendant
was compelled to be content with what
cars were available.
1t is maintained by the railroads, in
their applications for injunctions, that
the commission is without Jurisdiction,
that there never have been any unjust
Determinations in the distribution of
coal cars and that such discrimina-
lions are impossible because the for
eign, leased or private cars are used
only in hauling the fuel supplies of
the railroads.
