UPHOLDS COMMISSION
ON COAL RATE
The Application of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company for an Injunction
Against Reduction Is Denied

Washington, April 26. The commerce
court denied tile application Of the
Lehigh Valley Railroad company for an
injunction to restrain the Interstate
Commerce commission from enforcing its
order reducing rates on anthracite from
the Wyoming region in Pennsylvania to
Atlantic tidewater at Perth Amboy,
N. J.
Counsel for the Lebigh Valley urged
that a reduction such as that ordered
by the commission would cut the in
come of the road to about per cent on
an alleged total valuation of the prop
erty of S3l2,0O0,000, which amounted
to confscation. The carrier maintained
it was entitled to an income OF per
cent. The commerce court held that a
case of oonfiscation was not made out.
The decision sustains the authority of
the commission to determine whether a
given set of rates IS or is not reasonable,
entirely irrespective Of what rates on
other classes may be. 1t was held in ef
feet that the carrier has no assured right
to earn any fixed percentage of profit
on its investigation, regardless of wheth-
er a particular rate is reasonable.
