as agencies thereof received an un.
usual number Of interpretations In de
cislons rendered by the Supreme
Court Of the United States on Mon.
day In one of the cases decided the
court had before Il for consideration a
contract by the terms Of which a rail
road company was to get a page of adj

for $500 worth OF transportation The
government contended that this con
tract was in violation of the Hepburn
rate law, and that if advertising could

ment for transportation, thus opening
the way to wholesale determinations
among shippers. The railroad, on
the other hand, argued that as long as
the substitute for money in the pay
ment for transportation was equiva.
ent in value to money there was not a
different" compensation under the
law. The court held in this case,
that of the Chicago Indianapolis &
Louisville Railroad Company V. The
United States, that the contract was
in violation of the Hepburn rate law
and that the railroad company should
be enjoined from issuing Transports
ton under the agreement.
Another form of the same question
was presented in the case of Louis
vile & Nashville Railroad Company v
Motley ct al, which arose out of ar
action to compel the railroad company
to issue passes to persons injured in
IN accident forty years ago, under ar
agreement by the company in settle
ment of their claim to issue to then
free passes over it's line as long as
they lived. The company refused tt
issue passes after the passage of the
Hepburn law on the ground that the
law forbade such issuance, and the
Supreme Court held that the company
had acted rightly. Mr.. Justice Harlan
who read the opinion of the court
said that the statute, the interpreta
ton of which was involved in the two
cases referred to, manifestly mean
that the purchase of transportation
ticket by a passenger and it's sale b!
the railroad company should be con
summated only by the former paying
cash and by the latter receiving casl
of the amount specified in the respec

It appeared that one of the wharves
of the Southern Pacific Terminal Co.
at Galveston was leased to an indi-
vidual, and that complaint was made
that the grant of the exclusive wharf
privileges and facilities and the free.
dom from regular wharfage charges
resulting from the lease constituted
an unlawful preference and advantage
to the lessee, to the prejudice of other
shippers. This was the view of the
matter taken by the Interstate Com
merce Commission, and the Supreme
Court upheld (Southern Pacific Ter
minal Company ct al VS.. Interstate
Commerce Commission) an order
made by the commission directing the
railroad and terminal companies tC
cease giving such undue preference
and advantage. An order made by
the commission was, however, over
ruled by the court in the rate case Of

commission issued an order reducing

reasonable, regard being had to the

ing out of the fact that the railroads
had induced lumber manufacturers t.
