washington. May 5.--That the COM
moJities clause" of the Interstate COM
merce act Of 1906, known as the Hep
burn railroad rate law, Is constitution
al, was In effect declared today by the
supreme court OF the United States,
The decision was announced by Justice
White. The court reversed and re-
manded the decision OF the United
states circuit court, but the only direc-
tions were to enforce and apply the
statute as II is now construed.
Briefly summarized, the decision of
the supreme court in the commodities
clause cases holds the law to be con-
stitutional. but 1t does not concede the
contentious OF the government as to its
scope An especial exception was as to
the ownership Of stock In a different
corporation which held did not consti-
tute such ownership as would prohibit
transportation under the terms OF the
law. It was also held that ownership
of the commodity applied only to the
time of transportation. If before
transporting IL the railroad has in good
faith parted with a commodity, 1t may
carry 1t.
One Favor to Roads.
The principal point Of the decision
was in relation to railroads holding the
stock Of subordinate companies, and on
that important point the finding was
favorable to the roads.
Justice Harlan disseEted on the stock
feature, but otherwise the decision was
unanimous.
The announcement as to the com
modities clause was made In deciding
the IL injunction and mandamus
cases brought by the government
against the Delaware & Hudson, the
Erie, the New Jersey Central, the Del,
aware e. Lackawanna, the Pennsyl'
vania and the Lehigh Valley railroads
The cases came to the court from the
United States circuit court for the
eastern district of Pennsylvania, whose
decision as announced by Judge George
Gray in 1908 attracted much attention
They originated in the circuit court. lr
It's petition the government charged
that the railroad companies in question
