COURT EhJOINS
RAILROADS FROM
REDUCING RATES
Northern Pacific, the Northern
and the NJ. and St. L. Stock
holders Win Suit.

81. PAUL, Mimi, April s.--Judse
Walter H. Sanborn, senior United
States Circuit judge, Eighth judicial
circuit, in an exhaustive opinion
handed down today decided the Mime
sofa rate cases against the members
Of the Minnesota State Railway Com
mission, pm the grounds that the neces-
sary effect Of the reduction ordered
was substantially to regulate interstate
commerce, TO create unjust discrimina-
lions between localities In Minnesota
and those In adjoining States, in viola
ton OF the commercial clause OF the
Constitution, and to take the properties
of the railroad companies without Just
compensation, in violation of the four
tenth amendment to the Constitution.
The suits were brought by stock
holders Of the Northern Pacific Railway
Company, the Great Northern Railway
Company and the Minneapolis and st.
Louis Railroad Company against those
compan les, the Acknowledgement and
the members of the Railway and Ware
house Commission # Minnesota, to en-
Join the reduction of the passenger
rates in Minneapolis from three cents
to two cents a mile. the merchandise
rates for 90 per cent. to % per cent,
and the commodity rates 7.37 per cent.
The railroad companies had put all
these reductions, except h a on COM
modify rates. into, effect, and the cases
we're commenced and tried after the
effect Of these reductions had become
provable. Full proof of the facts of the
case was made through many months
before Charl-s e. Otis, special master,
who reported the facts and recommend
ed DEGREES in favor Of the stockholders.
Judge Sanborn rendered DEGREES today
which affirm the report of the master
and enjoin the enforcement Of the re-
auctions after June l, 1911.
He holds in his opinion:
"First-The acts of the Legislature
of Minnesota of April 4, 1907, chapter
81, reducing passenger fares within the
State about 80 Ia per cent. and Of April
IS, 1907; chapter 232 reducing COM
modify rates within the State about
1877 per cent. and the orders of it's rail-
road and warehouse commission of
September 6. 1906, reducing general
merchandise rates within the State
from 20 to % per cent, and Of May 3.
1907. reducing in-rates within the State
to distributing points by their natural
and necessary effect, substantially bur-
den and directly regulate Interstate
commerce, create undue and unjust
determinations between localities in
Minnesota and those in adjoining
States, violate the commercial clause
Of the constitution. article /, section 8,
and are void"
