COURT TO HEAR
TRAFFIC CASES
Railroad and Steamship Matters
to be Argued Before Su-
preme Court
TO OCCUPY THE ENTIRE WEEK
First Question to be Considered
Involves Rebates
Cincinnati Shippers TO Take up Cases
Involving Lower Rates 10 Chat
tanooea.

Washington. Jan. s.-'Interstate
Commerce week" will be observed in
the supreme court of the United States
beginning Monday. Practically all OF
the questions To be argued that week
are connected with railroad or steam
ship traffic.
The first ease TO be considered in
wolves whether shippers may be indict-
ed for accepting rebates unless IL Is
shown that the railroad concerned had
posted the regular rates at the railroad
station at point of origin. Ii was held
by Judge Speer OF Georgia, that the
posting Of the regular rates in the
community In which the shipper lived
was such an important means OF in
formation that the shipper could not
be indicted, unless 1t was alleged the
rates had been posted. This ruling
occurred in the indictments of Har-
vey c. Miller and Morris +. Miller. OF
Philadelphia, OH charges of accepting
concessions for shipments over the
Merchants a Miners Transportation
Co, Jointly with the Seaboard Air Line
and with the Atlantic Coast Line.
Another case is the quarter century
fight of Cincinnati shippers for lower
rates to Chattanooga and the South. In
1894 shippers induced the Interstate
Commerce Commission to order a sharp
reduction OF rates over the Cincinnati.
New Orleans and Texas Pacific road
from Cincinnati 10 Chattanooga. Courts
held that the commission could not
fix future rate. Later when. this pow
er was conferred upon II the commits
sion reduced first class rates TO 20
cents and held that while a demand
go cent rate might be reasonable
on road direct To Chattanooga il
would not be so on the Louisville and
Nashville and connecting lines. Fur
ther more, the commission held that TO
reduce the rate to 60 cents might make
inequltabe certain rates from Mem
phis To Chattanooga and TO Atlanta
Birmingham Montgomery and other
southern cities. The Cincinnati! ship
pers made an unsuccessful attempt in
the commerce court To have the seven
ty cent rate declared unjust and un-
reasonable.
Whether a loophole really exists in
the immigration laws such as would
allow steamship companies to shift the
responsibility for bringing in immi-
grants of the excluded classes, will
be argued before the court. a New
York court held that while the purpose
of congress seemingly was to make the
steamship companies pay the cost OF
returning such immigrants as are
denied entrance there was nothing in
the law to prevent the companies from
the law by requiring
these immigrants to put up security
In foreign ports to cover the cost OF
returning them If rejected
Another question will be whether a |
