Court Of Appeals Decides Distribution
Contention Against Road,
us FINDING QUOTED AT LENGTH
Case is Set for Hearing Tuesday at
Baltimore.
ALL CARS MUST BE COUNTED
order In Question Requires that For
eign and Private Cars Must BE
Included in Percentage
Basis.

BALTIMORE, Sept 19-The Interstate
Commerce commission filed its answer In
the United States circuit court today to the
application made by the Baltimore e. Ohio
railroad for a preliminary injunction re-
straining the commission from enforcing an
order regarding the distribution Of coal cars.
The point on which the case hangs is the
same as that In the Pitcairn case, which
was decided today by the United States
circuit court of appeals at Richmond, Va,
against the Baltimore & Ohio The present
case has been set for hearing next Tues
day, and Judges Morris, Goff and Pritchard
will sit with the local court to hear It at
the special request of Attorney General
Bonaparte.
In the Pitcairn case Judge Morris decided
that the railroad company must include
private cars" in distributing its cars to
independent operators, but he did not think
that so-called foreign railway fuel cars"
should be included.
The Interstate Commerce commission
passed an order requiring the Baltimore &
Ohio and other roads to include private"
cars in making their distributions. To this
order the Baltimore & Ohio objected, claim
ing that the point was then before the cir
cult court of appeals and that the commits.
sion was infringing upon the duties of the
court in passing such an order. 1t demanded
preliminary injunction restraining the
commission from enforcing the order A few
days ago the circuit court of appeals handed
down a decision in the Pitcairn case revers-
ing Judge Morris decision in connection
with the foreign railway fuel cars and
sustained him with regard to the private"
cars.
Attention Is called in the Interstate Com
merce commissions answer filed today to
this recent decision. The court is asked to
deny the Baltimore & Ohio's application
