HEARING ON RATES
MUST Be ALLOWED
Railroads Win Important
Point in Supreme Court
ALABAMA INVOLVED
Decision by Justice Lamar Limits
Power of Commerce Commission
To Fix Rates Without
Giving Hearing

Washington. January 20.-The govern
ment, on behalf of the interstate COM
merce commission. today met defeat al
the hands of the supreme court of the
United States in its attempt to establish
in the commission right to make rates
without substantial evidence being pre-
sented at hearing to show the unreason-
ableness of rates about to be replaced.
At the same time, railroads of the coun-
try won an important point when the court
decided that in making rates the comnis-
sion could not rely upon Information
gathered in Investigations by the com
mission but rust base them upon evf4
dence presented at a hearing where the
railroad would have an opportunity 10
present its side of the controversy.
In thus limiting the power of the COM
mission, the court declared that the ques-
tion of whether any substantial evidence
had been presented in a case was one CT
la W for the courts, such as the commerce
court, to review. and was not entrusted
exclusively to the commission.
Justice Lamar announced the court s
decision in a case involving the validity
of an order reducing class rates from New
Orleans to Alabama cities.
He quoted the governments position
that the Hepburn law in providing that
rates should be set aside, if, after a hear
ing, the commission should be of the
opinion that the charge was unreasonable,
meant that the commissions findings as
to unreasonableness of rates was not sub
ject to review by the courts.
The justice in reply pointed to that
clause in the law which required fun
hearing" TO be accorded, and the univer-
sal course of decisions in this country
that an administrative order by The gov
hearing or if the hearing was inadequate
or unfair
He stated the governments further con-
tention that Congress required the COM
mission to obtain information to enatle
it to perform its duties, and that, there
fore. when it issued an order. it was pre-
sumed to have obtained information to
support its findings.
Such a construction. said the justice,
would nullify the right to a hearing-tor
manifestly there is no hearing when the
party does not know what evidence Is Of
fered or considered or is not given an cp-
pOftunlly TO tcSs, OF explain OF fepu-
date it. The information gathered may

eutions for violations of the law and fc.'

as such in cases where the parties are en-

tion because a letter concerning the case

Washington, January 20-Control
that Russia and other countries might
exercise over emigration to the United
States led the Senate today to refuse
to accept the conference report on the
Burnett Dillingham; immigration bill.
The bill was sent back to conference
with the Senate's disapproval of the
provision requiring certificates OF char
lacter from emigrants coming from
countries where such certificates are
issued.
This feature of the bill was attacked
by Senator LaFollette, O'Gorman, Root,
Stone and others as dangerous to the
future of American Immigration. The
provision had been recommended by
the federal immigration officials. Sem
ator Lodge, in charge of the conference
report. asked that the bill be sent back
to conference where the 'eertaificate
of character" provision probably would
be eliminated.
IL believe the Introduction of this
clause was at the sincere desire of the
immig grafton officials, to aid them in
keeping out members of the black
hand and the camorra," said Senator
Root. But it would open the door to
foreign countries TO limit or prevent
the right of citizens to emigrate 10 the
United States.
