JUDGES INDIGNANT
OVER COMMISSIONS
ATTACK ON COURT
Resent Charge That They
Are Prejudiced In Favor
of Railroads.

The annual report Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, which devoted
page after page to criticism of the new
Commerce Court, was received by menu
bers of that body with mingled interest,
amusement, and resentment, the resent
ment predominating.
Judges of the court would not, Of
course talk about the report. but 1t was
learned that little else was discussed
at the court conference today. The
judges regard the report as the most
remarkable document of the kind ever
submitted to Congress
What Is resented most by the court
Is the direct charge made by the COM
mission that the Commerce Court is
pretudiced in favor Of the railroads.
Reply Not Expected.
"Out Of twenty-seven cases passed on
by the Commerce Court, preliminary re-
straining orders or final DEGREES have
been issued in favor Of the railroads In
all but seven cases. Is the language Of
the commissions report. The judges
regard this sentence as cowardly, and
unworthy of a body of the standing
and dignity OF the Interstate Commerce
commission. II the commission believes
the court is biased and unfair, why
didn't 1t make the direct change instead
of slurring the court by innuendo? is
the attitude Of commerce judges
1t is hardly probable that the court
VIII make any reply to the commission
In the light Of several bills pending in
Congress which will abolish the court
II passed, the judges feel that any de-
tense they might make could be con-
strued as an effort to hold their Jobs,
and this Is regarded as beneath the
courts dignity.
Certainly the court will not offer ex-
plantations of its decision. Any retort
that may be made probably will be en-
bodied in some future decision. Mean
while the scrap is getting very warm.
1t Is understood that the staid legal lam
guage of the report failed utterly to ex-
press the commissions feelings toward
the Commerce Court.
Test in January.
The courts private opinion is that the
commissions pages of defense of its
positions overruled by the court, were
out Of place in the report, since the
cases have appealed to the Supreme
Court, where the commissions arpIl-
ments may properly be heard.
