A STRADDLE DECISION.

The decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States upon the commod-
tiles clause Of the Hepburn rate law
chiefly concerns the railroads of the
hard coal district in Pennsylvania. 1t
may also affect some roads engaged
in mining operations in the Far West,
but few of those enterprises are en-
gagged in interstate transportation
and practically speaking, it relates to
the hard coal roads.
The decision is a straddle. The
commodities clause is upheld, but a
strict construction of it is not. If the
railroad that mines hard coal, for ex.
ample, has sold its product at the
mines, then the commodities clause
does not fit it. Nor is railroad pro
hibited from owning stock in a com
pany that does mine the coal. 1t viii
thus be seen that interstate transpor
tation is easily obtained under thu
Hepburn law, either by change o
ownership at the tipp1e, or by employ
ing an intermediary company in thu
| handling of the coal.
Justice Harlan dissented from tn
view of the court, but Justice Harlan
/ is the one man in the court who be
| lieves in seeking the spirit of the &C
and the known will of Congress.
The Lackawanna Company viii
have to change its plan of handling
it's coal-that's all. Otherwise thing
| will go on in the anthracite district
as they did before the decision wa
rendered, because one company sell
| it's coal at the mouth of it's mines, an
the other coal-carrying railroads d
/ business through coal mining compa
nies.
