how he and his brothers had made

; Washington. June 16.--Without va
rying q dot from the principles laid
down last week in the Minnesota rate
cases the supreme court today upheld
the, state railroad rate legislation in
Missouri, Arkansas, Oregon and West
Virginia.
This legislation included two-ccnt
passenger laws in Missouri, Arkansas
and West Virginia; maximum freight
laws in Missouri and Arkansas, and
freight laws out of Portland in Ore
Son cases.
Only one exception to the sweeping
approval of tn" state statutes was in
the case Of several weaker roads In
Missouri and Kentucky, which cases
were not decided 1t involves the at
tack upon state rates from river
points to inland dstilery cities and
involves the attack on the c0nstitu-
tionality of the form of the McChord
act, enabling the state railroad com'
mission to fix reasonable rates on in
tra-state business.
Justice Hughes announced the de
cision in the rate cases, as he did in
the Minnesota case. Wherever a
point was raised t;lat the state laws
interfered with the interstate com
