SUSPENSION is ASKED
OF Interstate Commissions Order in
the Pacific Coast Gases.

Washington, oct 4-The trans-con-
tinental railways today asked the In
tetstate Commerce Commission to
suspend it's orders in what are known
as the Pacific coast cases" involving
the heaviest railroad traffic in the
United States until the commerce
court has had time to pass upon their
merits The roads also asked the com
merce court to enjoin the commission
in the matter Neither the commission
nor the court took any action today.
It was indicated to the committee
by Attorneys Norton of the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe, and billiard of
the Union Pacific representing not
only their own lines, but also all of
the other carriers interested in the
cases, that these carriers purposed to
institute proceedings in injunction be
fore the commerce court to restrain
the Interstate Commerce Commission
from putting into effect it's orders, re-
dGeing the trans-continental freight
rates.
The orders of the commission will
not become effective until Nov 10 and
it was considered by TIE commission
that the commerce court would have
ample time, meanwhile, to pass upon
the questions involved. Until tine COM
mercc Court has taken up the matter
the commission will not grant the APP
plieation.. of the carriers for sus-
pension " it's orders.
Late today the railways. through
Attorneys Morton and billiard, filed
with the commerce court. bills asking
fer the temporary injunction against
the orders of the. commission in all the
Pacific coast cases
In every instance the railways COM
plaiaed that the rates fixed By the
commission ere unreasonablY low and
that If enforced the carriers cannot
make a fair return upon their invest
mcnts and the rates will amount to
a confiscation Of their property. Exist
ing rates We're defended and denial
is made of the commissions right, UNI
der the constitution, to prescribe the
rates which are fixed in it's orders of
last June.
1t is likely that the commerce court
will take up the cases in a few days
with a view Of determining whether
or not the temporary injunction will
be granted. In any event the prob
ability IS that the questions involved
will reach the supreme court.
