MAY Be BEGINNING OF FIGHT
RATE RULINGS LIKELY TO START
LEGAL STRUGGLE BY ROADS.
Low Rates Are Applicable to Some
Roads In a State and Perhaps
Not to Othors.

Washington, June 18.-The state
sion of the supreme court Monday,
are regarded by some as merely the
beginning Of fight by the railroads
against low rates.
In each case where a railroad failed
to sustain its claim that the state rates
were confiscatory the supreme court
specifically preserved the right of the
road to begin new proceedings. This
was true as to two roads in Minne-
sofa, ~ in Missouri, and two in Arkan-
sas, where Justice Hughes said the
data on which the claim of confisca-
tons was based was too general.
Whether any road can collect data
before the interstate commerce COM
mission concludes it's valuations of
all the railroad property in the United
States sufficiently accurate to satisfy
the court that proper valuations have
been arrived at is q new question.
Justice Hughes made It clear that tho
court will not accept generalities or
opinions as to valuation aud ex.
penses.
! Even tests of days or weeks will
not satisfy. Lawyers construe' the
courts opinion as saying that the
railroads must invent more detailed
system of bookkeeping.
1t has been estimated that the in.
terstate commerce commission will
not complete it's valuation within five
years. In the meanwhile It is regard.
ed as certain that some railroads will
seek to convince the court that they
| have accurate figures to show con.
| fiscation.
Within the week after the Minnesota
rate decision was announced the Nor
folk & Western railroad filed in the
supreme court suit in which 1t
claimed the two-cent passenger law of
West Virginia Was confiscatory. This
law was held constitutional in the
suit of the Chesapeake e. Ohio, but
that road did not raise the point of
conflscation.
The unusual situation of low rates
being applicable to some roads in a
state and not applicable to others
was pronounced by Justice Hughes In
the Missouri rate decision as being
entirely constitutional.
