ANNULS |. c. c. ORDERS
Commerce Court Rules for
Payment of Allowances by
Trunk Line Railroads.

The Commerce Court today annulled
the orders Of the interstate commerce
commission which forbade payment by
trunk line railroads of allowances to So
called tap lines.
The court held that the commission
was not only without power to forbid
any allowance whatsoever to be made by
trunk lines to the petitioning proprietary
industries for switching, but it was also
without power to prohibit the making Of
joint rates by the trunk lines and the Pc
titioning tap lines and the payment by
the former to the latter of some division
thereof for its services.
The court held, however, that the COM
mission was fully empowered to regulate
the amount OF allowances SO as to pre-
vent rebates and unjust discrimina tions
The cases probably will be carried to
the Supreme Court.
