Long and Short Haul Clause Is
Declared Constitutional.
COMMERCE COURT DECISION
Majority Opinion Handed Down in
Transcontinental Rate Case.
COMMISSION IS CRITICISED
Sustained in Main. But Its Authority
Questioned on Other Points
at Issue.

In the majority opinion of the Com
merce Court formally handed down to lay
I'm tho transcontin"nta. 80. cases IL is
held that The 'on;,-ands short haul pro-
vision ri tie interstate commerce act Is
constitutional. Judge Archibald concurs
in the issuance of n temporary injunction
of the orders of the Interstate commerce
commission. but in his opinion holds the
long and short haul provision TO BE- in
valid
While the court sustains the interstate
commerce commission in regard TO the
Of the law dealing with
the long and short RAUL. which prohibits
the railroads from charging a greater
rate for a shcrt haul than for a long haul
over the same tracks and in the same di-
rection unless permission is specifically
given by the interstate commerce COM
mission, the court takes the position
that the interstate commerce commission
has exceeded its aut or.ty in the cases
involved, and for that reason the tempo
rary injunction against the enforcement
of the rates decided upon by the COM
mission has been ordered.
Final Test in Supreme Court.
The commerce court, realizing that the
constitutionality of the long and shor:
haul prov. sion of the law must be tested
in the end before the Supreme Court of
the United States. decided to pass upon
the present cases as soon as possible.
The opinion of the court not Only agrees
with the interstate commerce commission
that the long and short haul provision Is
constitutional. but that 1t would he I'M
constitutional ''aS an unlawful delegation
Of legislative power" il no standard were
given, Ito guide the exercise of the COM
missions discretion in granting authority
to depart from the rule foroidding les
ser rate for the long than the short haul
in the same direction and over the same
line"
lac court reaches the decision. how
ever. that the guide to the exercise OF
the commissions discretion is to be found
In other sections of the act. and that
these sections impose upon the commits
sion not only the right. but also the duty
to grant such exemption whenever, on
investigation, it shall find that no viola
ton of any section Of the act would
thereby be involved
The court points out that in the present
cases the orders OF the commission. which
are cnjoined by the court, do not estab
lish absolute rates for either the long or
short haul but that they do establish n
relation between any long haul rate that
carrier may put into effect and the
short haul rate.
