RATE ORDERS UPHELD
Supreme Court Sustains Interstate
Commerce Commission

Washington, May 91.-Standing
States today decided that the Inter
State Commerce Commission had not
exceeded it's power in ordering the
reduction of freight rates in the So
called Missouri river rate cases and
the Denver rate cases These orders
were held to be valid.
The Missouri River rate cases we're
based on an order OF the commission
reducing the freight rate between the
Mississippi river and the Missouri
river as part of the through rate
on through shipments originating in
the seaboard territory. The Denver
rate cases were based on an order re-
ducing the rates on through freight
from Chicago and from St. Louis to
Denver.
In both cases certain railroads and
shippers concerned asserted that the
commission was endeavoring to div
de the country into rate zones. The
circuit court for the Northern district
Of Illinois held that this contention
was correct. The supreme court of
the United States today in a decision
by Justice McKenna, announced that
it believed the commission was not
attempting to exercise such power
and that the record showed no evil
dence that such was being done.
Hence It reversed the decision of the
district court in both cases.
The Missouri river contest began
early in 1907 when shippers. iobbers,
and wholesalers in Kansas City, ST.
Joseph and Omaha flied a complaint
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission alleging that the rates upon
traffic originating at the Atlantic sea
board and destined to these cities
We're unjust and unreasonable.
