|fAvORS ROADS IN
| COMMODITIES CASE
United States Supreme Court
Holds That Clause of Hep
burn Law Is Valid.
WAY FOR ROADS TO ESCAPE
Government Loses on All Points Except
in Sustentation of Prin-
Ciple Involved.

Washington, May 5. - 1t has been
many day since decision of the
Unied States supreme court has been
received with as much interest as
was manifested yesterday in the de-
cision in what are known as the
commodities clause" cases, affecting
the anthracite coal carrying railroads.
In a decision written by Justice
White the commodities clause of the
Hepburn law, which prohibits inter-
state railroads from carrying commod-
tiles manufactured, mined Or produced
directly or indirectly by the roads,
was declared constitutional, thus re-
versing the United States circuit court
at Philadelphia The only dissenting
opinion was by Justice Harlan, who
stated that. he did not follow the con-
clusion of the court on the point that
that the law does not prohibit the
railroad ownership of stock in COM
producing companies.
Can't Ship Stuff They Own.
Briefly stated, it is held that con-
gress did not transcend its cCnstitu-
tional authority in the enactment of
the commodities provision, but, on
the other hand it is held that the
governments construction of the pro-
vision has been entirely too compre-
hensive. The act only compels COM
panies to dissOciate themselves
from products they carry In other
words, the commodities clause is a
vital and operative statute with re-
spect to all products, such as coal,
which the railroad companies actually
own at the time of transportation.
The railroads must sell such products
to somebody else before they can law
fully ship them.
Unless the act is promptly amended
SO as to include stock ownership, the
by converting their direct ownership
Of coal properties into stock owner
ship by the organization of subsidiary
coal companies.
Is Favorable to Railroads.
The effect of the decision under ex-
listing conditions is favorable to the
railroads, and the government lost on
practically all points except in the
sustentation of the principal involved.
In holding that congress had not gone
beyond it's authority in enacting the
law, the court comedies the right to
regulate, and it is believed that if so
disposed congress might enlarge and
extend the scope of the provision.
Hence, while the railroads gain a prac-
teal victory, the government is not
confronted by a constitutional bar
from further acting in the direction of
control of the roads in the matter of
the shipment of their own commodi-
ties.
