HEARD IN RATE CASES
Government Files Brief Uphold.
ing Commerce Commission.
AS A N"FRIEND OF COURT"
Upholds Right Of Interstate
Body to Require Railroads to
Reduce or Increase Charges.

Washington, April 2l.-An unexpecte1
development in the state rate cases
which have been pending before the -,
preme Court for more than a year. oc-
CURED to-day. when the Department NJ
Justice obtained permission Of the conrt
to file a brief as a friend Of the cour,
The contention Of the government is
that the Interstate Commerce Commits.
sion is supreme over the state raternakinr
bodies. and may annul state regulations
in the disguise of state rates when inter
state commerce is affected substantially
thereby.
The brief was a copy OF one filed By
the government recently in the "Shreye.
port rate case in the Commerce Court.
In it the government upheld the right or
the Interstate Commerce Commission TO
require the railroads TO reduce interstate
rates from Louisiana to Texas points or
increase rates i'm Texas. The commits
sion had held that the action OF the
Texas authorities in requiring low rates
on state shipments so as TO protect home
industries was a discrimination against.
interstate commerce
IT is not believed the action TO-DAY will
delay the decision OF the rate cases
which is expected any Monday.
The Intervention by the government in
the railroad rate cases which have been
hanging over Wall Street so long, was con.
strued in some quarters Of the financial
district yesterday as being favorable 10
the roads IL has been contended all
along that regulation by the federal gov
eminent, represented by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, would be far bet
ter than BY the individual states.
Az an indication OF this view the stock
market showed an improving tendency
soon after the announcement from Wash
ington appeared on the news tickers, and
practically all the chief railroad shares
showed advances.

him to seize as an apt illustration of the
