RATE FIGHT GETS
|NPETUSFROM
DECISION
Railroad Inclined to Believe the
Minnesota Ruling Brings Issue
Directly to Congress,

NEW YORK, June 1O-The belief
existed in railroad circles and in Wall
Street to-day that instead of ending
the fight of railroads against the
right Of State railway commissions 20
fix interstate rates. the United States
Supreme Court decision yesterday up
holding the present right of sucn
commissions to fix passenger and
freight rates within the borders u
respective States is only the begin
ming Of a fiercer battle to come.
The inevitable result of the deci
sion. many pointed out. will be TO
bring the question Of federal control
of railways directly before Congress
This will involve political issues and
a hot contest is expected.
AZ the decision read by Associate
Justice Hughes stated explicitly that
the present method of rate fixing IN
such States as have railway COM
missions shall go on until Congress
shall determine otherwise by direct
provision of law" the matter seems to
he put directly up to Congress for a
final decision.
Best Lawyers Scan Decision.
The brainiest corporation lawyers
in America. representing great rail-
way systems, to-day have the decision
under scrutiny looking for loophoes
in it,
Samuel Untermyer, special counsel
for the Government in the money
trust investigation took the stand
that the decision is a victory for the
Government. He said:
Il regard the decision as COM
plete vin6ication of the Federal au-
tho1ity over the interstate railroads
wherever Congress chooses to eXer-
else that power
1T seems that the continued eN-
istence of the State rate making pow
er in so far as it may conflict with
Interstate rates rests upon sufferance
and may be done away with at any
time bv Congress. That is the Logical
and necessary rule. Without it the
could be no effective Federal regula-
tior.'
Railroad Men Disappointed,
Railroad men were disappointed in
the failure of the Supreme Court 20
come out and state the actual rela-
rion or difference of powers between
the Federal Interstate Commerce
Commission and the various State
railroad commissions which exercise
rate-making powers in more than
twenty cOmmonwealths.
The distinction has been left to
Congress. The next move Of the rail-
roads i'm fighting the decision Of the
supreme Court is prOblematical.
Ii is believed that the railroad
counseIors viii endeayor to attack
the decision i'm the same court that
handed it down.
