signed TO overcome the bad effect of the
sale of state bonds caused by the deter
n-ination OF the SulZer administration TO

HITS AT STATE POWERS
Interstate Commission Declared
Higher Authority.

Washington, April 25.--The Commerce
Court to-day upheld the Interstate Com
merce Commissions orders in the Shreve-
port-Texas rate cases. and in many re-
spects sustained principles which the rail-
roads are asking the Supreme Court 10
adopt in the fOrty-fve state rate cases
now awaiting decision. The Commerce
Court upheld the powers of Congress and
the Interstate Commerce Commission 10
remove Determinations caused by state
railroad commission enforcing intrastatc
rates lower than interstate rates which
have been held to be reasonable.
The effect of the courts holding IS that
no state may, by its state rules, IMPEDE
the flow OF commerce from other states
or protect its own shippers against out
side competition.
The Commerce Court to-day denied the
application of the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company for an injunction To restrain the
Interstate Commerce COMMISSION from
enforcing its order reducing rates on an
thracite from the Wyoming region in
Pennsylvania TO Atlantic tidewater at
Perth Amboy. y. J.
Counsel for the Lehigh Valley urged
that such reduction as that ordered by
the commission would cut the income OF
the road to about per cent on an alleged
total valuation of the property of >Sl2'-
200. which amounted TO coniiscation.
The carrier maintained il was entitled 10
an income of per cent.
The Commerce Court held that case
Of confscation was not made out The
decision sustains the authority OF the
commission 10 determine whether given
set of rates is or is not reasonable, ell
tirely irrespective OF what rates on other
classes of shipments may be. II was held,
i'm effect. that the carrier had no assured
right TO earn any fixed percentage OF
profit on its investment regardless OF
whether a particular rate was reasonable.
