 TO HIGHER COURT

The appeal on the part of the state from a recent decision of Judge Jacob Trieber, declaring the Barker demur- rage act unconstitutional, will soon be calendared in the United State Su- preme Court.

This case will settle the question of whether the independent mines of the State have the right 10 force the railroads to sMpply them with cars. The complaint which started the suit was filed with the Arkansas Railroad Commission near 1y two years ago. The railroad at torney, representing the Iron Noun tain which was the interested ral- road, withdrew after some evidence has been taken an dit was evident the commission was about to issue an order which would effect his clients, saying he would bring suit in the Federal court, by way of ln- junction, an dshow the Barker bill to be unconstitutional When the case came for trial the independent coal companies were prepared 'o show the Iron Mountain has dlS- criminated against them in the mat ter of distributing ears, the mines owned by the subsidiary company The railroads claimed the cars were for the most part intended for ship ments interstate and the state could not control the distribution of them. Notice Of appeal Was given about SIX months ago when Judge Trieber held the act to be unconstitutional
