fore Judges Grosscup, Baker, Seaman

supreme court. The lawyers for the
Pullman Car and Chicago, Milwaukee
and st, Paul railroad companies occu-
pied the session in arguments against
the commissions ruling. The argu.
ments by the commission will be
made tomorrow.
The Pullman attorneys argued that
the concern Is not common carrier
and therefore is not amenable to the
Interstate commerce commissions or

nothing but berth rentals from tho
operation of its cars over the rail
roads in the northwest.
The Chicago, Milwaukee and st
Paul lawyer was granted permission
to intervene for the company Hc
said the road operates its own sleep
ing cars and would be affected by the
commissions order.
Following an extended investigation
the interstate commerce commission
ordered the Pullman Company to re
duce the rates on upper berths on
railroads in the northwest beginning
June /. The Pullman Company Is
now seeking an injunction stopping
