IMPORTANT CASES
DISPOSED OF BY
SUPREME COURT
DECISIONS CONCERNING
INTERSTATE COMMERCE
Passengers May Not Buy
Transportation With Any
thing Save Cash. States May
Regulate Sizeof Train Crews,
IRy Morning journal Special Laased wirel

Washington, Feb, 2O.--Not for
years have so many fer-reaching
principles relating to interstate COM
mcrce been approved by the supreme
court of the United States as were
established in its decisions today as
the unquestioned law of the land.
Decision on several other different
questions were announced.
Among the questions Of interstate
commerce decided were:
That the passenger has no right TO
buy tickets with services, advertising,
releases or property, nor can the rail-
road company buy services, advertis-
| ing, releases or property with trans
| portation.
That state law regulating the
size of crews on trains within tha
state is not an obstruction to inter-
state commerce, but Is rather enacted
in aid of interstate commerce, and
may be passed by state for tht
public safety.
| That the suprenle court Will re-
view the validity of an order of tn,
Interstate commerce commission ever
though the two-year limitation on Tho
| life of the order has expired.
| That a railway system may not
escape regulation as an instrument ol
| interstate commerce because one Of
its constituent parts is wharf com
pany and dominating power over thu
wharfage company rests in the fact
that it Is a holding company.
That the Interstate commerce COM
mission does not possess the power to
reduce a rate as unjust and unrea-
sonable" merely because the rate Ii
| inequitable under some circumstances
as in cases where railroads induce
shippers to enter a field by Offering
rates So low as to be unremunerative
and later increase the rates.
The court furthermore decided ms
Unconstitutional n state statute, pro-
viding that no contract of relief, ben
eft or ordinance should bar tht
right of railroad employe engaged
in the operation of a railroad to sue
the employer for damages resulting
from Injuries ItttlNtb III tiit 'pb'''

cause they destroyed the subject mat.
tier of litigation before the supreme
court, after its decision was an
naunced but before its mandate had
been issued or time given for mo-
ton for rehearing.
The famous boycott case brought In
the local courts by the Bucks Stove
g. Range company of st. Louis against
the American Federation of Labor
was formally dismissed.
The officials of the Naval Stores

their conviction of alleged violations

your eyes, Mr.. Voter. Did you know
that all these charges against Varda.

during the secret caucus9 Did you
know that Vardaman had been out of
the governors Office three years before
he was accused OF having misappro.
priated the contingent fund? II
Vardaman stole that money why not
appeal to jury OF his peers instead
OF to the swill barrel? It's all Just
piece OF political trickery. They are
trying tc muddy the waters ana
escape themselves during the con.
fusion. The common causersn made
no charges against Vardaman until
after their own deviltry in the secret
caucus was exposed Is not this sig-
