RAILROADS LOSE IN THE
SHREVEPORT RATE CASE

The Commerce Court yesterday sus-
tanned the order of the Interstate Com

bearing Of these esSupon the Estate

was permitted last Monday to intervene
on behalf Of the government in the State
rates.
The cases involve practically the same
principles as are at stake in the State
rate case before the Supreme Court.
Decision Is Broad.
The decision Is a broad affirmation Of
the power of Congress and of the au-
thority of the Commission to remove dis
elimination induced by rates made by a
State railroad commission. which are
lower than interstate rates held to be
reasonable.
In view of low Texas rates, Shreve-

higher than those from Dallas to the

The commission found that this dis
elimination against Shreveport by the
Texas State-ma1e rates was obvious and
conceded that the interstate rates were
Evidence was brought to

There are several Of the Wisconsin
leaders of the progressive party who
were very much disappointed that Gov.
McGovern failed to attend tie Chicago
conference of the party and believe
the governor should not have allowed
any business at Madison to interfere
with his attending the Chicago confer

that the Chicago conference was
time when all persons who really in
tend to support the progressive party
movement in the future should have
shown their colors for the reason that
so many believe the Roosevelt move
ment is not to last and that for this
reason the governor should not have

Fond du Lac is the only city in the

It is pretty clearly indicated that box

until some plan is found to safeguard
the people against fake fights and bad
management. In New York the com
mission has solved these troubles and
not a single boxing show held under
the auspices of the commission has

state. It is claimed that a number of
the members of the state legislature
have expressed their willingness to
vote in favor Of bill providing for
legalized boxing shows and it is not
improbable that the law could be
passed. The Kenosha promoters have

the bill very careful consideration.
