Decision Comes After Seven
Hours of Argument by
Alabama Attorneys
SETS PRECEDENT OF
MUCH IMPORTANCE
L. & n. Attorneys viii Not Give Up
Fight, But Will Ask Federal Dis
trict Court Judges to Re-
consider Decision

Washington, September 22.-Justice
refused to issue a restraining order
to prevent the enforcement OF the q
cent passenger fare order issued by the
Alabama railroad commission. Attor-
news for the Louisville and Nashville
railroad sought to have the order held
up until the supreme court has passed
or two hence.
The order has been in force since
August IL. the judges of the district
court in Alabama declining to issue a
restraining order pending an appeal
from the decision that the commissions
order was valid.
The decision came at the end of a
seven hours argument before Justice
Lamar. w. \. Colston and S. j. Bowie.
for the railroad, eontended the company
was entitled to restraining order.
provided ii issued refund checks to pas
sengers to be good in case the SUI
preme court eventually affirms "a de-
cision OF the Alabama federal court
holding the 2ix -cent fare valid Attor-
ney General Brickell OF Alabama and
S. d. Weakley argued that the Justice
had no authority TO grant the order.
Justice Lamar concluded that under
the new equity rules promulgated by
the court about a year ago 1t was in
tended that the judges of the lower
federal court should exercise The dis
cretion of granting or refusing re .
straining orders pending appeal to the
supreme court.
This decision is regarded as likely
to be a precedent of Importance In fn-
ture litigation, greatly increasing the
responsibility of the inferior federal
judges. Attorneys for the railroad will
not give up the fight to stop the en-
foreement of the order pending the APP
peal. 1t Is understood they will a,
once apply to the judges constituting
/ the federal district court in Alabama
for reconsideration of their decision
4 This would be done on the theory that
the judges declined to issue the order
raome6 weeks ago because of doubt al
