COURT UPHOLDS
SO-CENT GAS LAW
q. s. Supreme Courts Opinion is
Against The Companies. Bona.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The supreme
court of the United States today re-
ycrsed the decision OF the United States
circuit court for the southern district
OF New York in the various cases against
the Consolidated Gas company Of Now
York City. That decision declared that
TIT New York state laws of 1905 and
1906, the latter of which fixed the
price Of gas in New oyrk City at
eighty cents per one Thousand cubic
feet, were invalid. Justice Peckham
delivered the opinion.
In an opinion by Justice Peckhom
which was unanimously concurred in
by the entire court; the supreme court
of the United States today reversed
the decision Of the United. States cir
crit court for the southern district of
New York granting an injunction
against the enforcement of the eighty
cent gas law. The decision of the
court did not deal with the constita-
tionality of the law, but left the in
ference that that question would de-
pend upon the fact as to whether the
law was confscatory, which, it was in
timated, mas not been sufficiently de-
tcrmintd. Justice Peckhoan said that
q bona fds test should be made under
the operation of the law before appeal
ing to the courts for its notification.
