mOdities Clause Not Harmful.
The long-iooked for decision Of the
Supreme Court of the United States
on the commodities clause Of the Hep
burn law, which prohibits raiIro4As
from owning and operating coal mines,
was given out on Monday. The de-
cision upholds the constitutionaIity of
the law, but says there is nothing In
the measure to prevent railroad COM
panies from operating coal mines
through other companies, the lat
ter being controlled by the
railroad company. As this is
the way the work is generally carried
on, the decision Is really in favor OF
the railroads
If the reports of the decision OF the
Supreme Court ON the commodities
clause are correct. the coal carrying
business OF the Western Maryland
Railroad will come entirely within the
law" said George X. Gather. attorney
OF that corporation. According to Mr..
Gather the coal lands OF the Western
Maryland are not held In the name OF
the road. but in the name OF a separate
corporation, the Davis Coal and Coke
| Company, which superintends entirely
the mining OF the commodity. The
/ railroad, he declares, acts merely as
/ the carrier, and thus, according to the
decision OF the Supreme Bench as CIV
en- out. comes entirely within its pro
visions.
