SUSTAIN POWER
Of COMMISSION
Commerce Body Upheld in
Rate Case-Amrmation of
Congress Authority.

Washington. April 25.-The COM
merce court sustained the orders of
the interstate commerce commission
in the Shreveport-TeXas rate cases.
now pending in the supreme court.
Attorney General McReynolds was
permitted Monday to intervene on be-
half of the government in the state
rate cases. The decision is broad
affirmation of the power of congress
and of the authority of the commits
sion to remove discrimination, induc-
ed by rates made by state railroad
commission. which were lower than
the interstate rates We're held to be
reasonable.
Minnesota Attorneys Reply.
Attorneys for Minnesota today filed
their reply to McReynolds' brief. filed
Monday. but expressed the opinion
that the Schreveport decision did not
affect their case. because Minnesota
is distinguished from Texas. in that
it is seeking to sustain the right of a
state to establish a system of extra
state rates. presumably reasonable in
themselves and having no reference to
Interstate commerce.

The situation at Remy is considered
critical. All persons on the south

seventy-mile journey he would be
