ATTACK INTERSTATE
COMMERCE BOARD
Railroads Combine to Test the Constitu-
tionality Of the Powers and Func-
tons Given BY Cen

st. Paul, April IDA united attack
through the United States court against
the interstate commerce commission as
an institution has begun before Judge
Frederick N. Dickson, special mater in
chancery in the federal circuit court by
combination Of the Union Pacific. Great
Northern and Northern Pacific and, with
the exception Of the Santa Fe and the
Golud lines, every other railroad operat-
ing west Of the Missouri river,
A final and conclusive decision by the
United States supreme court to the Ell
feet that the powers and functions au-
thorized by Congress and exercised by
the commerce commission are unconstitn-
tional Il what the carriers are after and
the lawyers claim to have strong case.
A recent ruling is to be used a. a test
ef the constituienalitv of the authority
of that body. The case is one in which
the commission ordered the Northern
Pacific. Union Pacific and Great North
ern and other western railroads to reduce
the freight rates on lumber shipped east.
ward from the Pacific coast. These rates
the roads had increased on what they
claim to have been iustiiabie grounds
The increase amounted to 10 cents per
hundred, and the commission ordered
that the original be restored west Of the
Missouri river, but allowed an increase
Of cents per hundred pounds on coast
shipments destined to points east Of the
Missouri.
The most formidable feature Of the
prosecution will be the fight to introduce
evidence tending to show that the rates
ordered by the commission are sonfsca-
tory and, therefore, in violation Of the
l4th amendment Of the constitution Of
the United States,
