JURISDICTION OF
COMMERCE COURT
Conflict With The Interstate Com
mission Grows Daily So Acute ST.
preme Court Must Step In.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. Ito
straighten out some of the kinks in
the puridiction of the new commerce
court and the Interstate Commerce
Commission will be enc of the first
tasks to confront the Supreme Court
of the United States when it con-
vcnes Monday, January s.
The conflict is growing daily more
acute. The decision of the court is
expected to have a far-reaching eff
feet upon governmental rate making.
1t may foreshadow the holding of the
court in the famous ''inter- mountain
rate case" in which the commerce
court and the Interstate Commerce
Commission are at odds. The latter
case does not come before the court
for consideration until February 10
One of the ticklisi problems fol
the court to decide is whether the
commerce court has the powe rto re-
view decisions Of the commission in
which the complaining shipper is de-
MED relief. The position is taken
that the court can review the hold
ings of the commission only when
the commission issues af1iratives or
ders Of relief to shipper. In other
words, that the court is open only to
the defeated railroad, but not to the
defeated shippers.
This question arose over the com
pl;lint of the Proctor & Gamble Com
pany, of Ivorydale, o., relative to
railroads charging demurrage under
the uniform demurrage code" III
private ears. Both the commission
and the court held that there was n,
merit in the complaint but objection
was made that the court had 10 jul
risdio tiCn to review the action of the
commission. The commerce court
held it did have authority.

-Four Shot In Mine Riot.

In pitched battle between the state
police and a crowd estimated at be-
tween 1000 and 5000 men at Miners
vile, Pa, four men were shot and
three were probably fatally wounded.
It is believed that a dozen or more
others were also struck by bullets, but
were not seriously wounded and did
not seek medical attention.
The men who are thought to have
been fatally hurt are:
David Davis. who was shot through
the body.
Two foreigners, not identified by the
authorities at this time
Another foreigner was shot through
the leg and was seriously wounded
The fight occurred on Fourth street
In the central part of the town and
came as a result of a crowd assem-
bling in front of Ulmer's garage, the
old electric light plant, to prevent the
superintendent, George w. Keiser.
of the Pine Hill Coal company, from
taking two men in his automobile to
his colliery.
Three officers, who make daily pa
trolls of that section, arrived on the
scene and shortly after were rein
forced by four more from the Potts
vile barracks. They ordered the crowd
to disperse, but their orders had no
effect. Under their guard the automo-
bile was then taken from the garage
and was being cranked, when some
one in the crowd threw a brick. 1t
struck a policeman on the head.
1t seemed to be the signal for an
attack and Immediately there came
shower Of stones. followed by several
pistol shots. The officers then fired a
Volley into the ground. The crowd
paid no attention. Raising their pis
tolls, they twice fired into the air, but
the only effect it had was to draw
shots from the crowd The officers then
turned their weapons into the crowd
and commenced firing.
