companies that the clause It applied to pre-
existing rights will operate to take prop
erty OF railway companies and therefore
violate the due process clause OF the hrth
! amendment, were all based upon the as
sumption that the clause prohibited and re-
strained in accordance with the construc-
ton which the government gave that clause
and for the purpose of enforcing which pro
hibitions these suits were brought.
As the construction which the government
placed upon the act and seeks to enforce IS
now held To be unsound, and rs none OF the
contentious relied upon are applicable 10
the act now construed because under
such construction the act merely enforces
a regulation of commerce by which carriers
are compelled to disaSsociate themselves
from the products which they carry ana
does not prohibit where the carrier is moi
associated with the commodity carried, II
follows that the contentious on the subject
Of the fifth amendment are without merit.
Four-The exemption as to timber etc.
contained in the clause Is not rcpugnunt to
the constitution.
Fivc-The provision as to penalties Is sep
arabic from the other provisions of the act.
AS no recovery of penalties was prayed, no

right to recover penalties exists when an at
