In fact Mr.. Ba1ch uses Peary's un-
published observations to support
those of Cook, stating positively that
this method of comparative testi-

value of the claims of the two ex-

SAW NEED OF LAW AS
LONG AGO AS 1902

In his interview on the decision of Judge
Grubb President Henderson called atten-
ton to the fact that as early as 1902 he
saw the need of a railroad commission
law, and that he wrote to numerous prom
inent business men in the state, urging
the importance of establishing many
needed reforms.
Through his efforts a meeting war called
in Birmingham in June. 1902, at which
time an organization was formed which
was instrumental in securing the passage
of a law in 1903 making the railroad COM
mission elective, and in bringing about
the present rate laws. Since his election
as member of the railroad commission
in 1906, President Henderson declared
that he has Stuck to the job with calm
and fixed purpose, and feels at last that
the dream of 1902 has become reality"
President Henderson closed his inter-
view with the statement that the scope
of the commission should be enlarged so
as to have supervision over all public
utilities and stock issues of corporations
offered for sale in Alabama.

DECREE WAS ISSUED
YESTERDAY MORNING

Judge Grubb in his decision holds that
the railroad commission of Alabama has
the right TO make and enforce railroad
rates independent of any legislative act
or any injunction against any legisla tive
act The court rules that the railroad
commission is not in contempt, discharges
the case and assesses the costs of the
case against the railroad company.
Judge Gruhb issued the decree before
leaving Birmingham for Admission yes
fefday morning. copies Of It being sent to
tire railroad COMMISSION. which is now
IN session in Montgomery, and 10 the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad COM
pany. The original decree was forwarded
the middle district of Alabama, Judge
Grubb acting in this case in the place OF
Judge Jones on account of the latter 5
illness.
The act of the Alabama Legislature
which Judge Jones has declared confis-
catory called for a 21s cent passenger
rate in the state and lower freight rates.
Following Judge Jones decision after the
law was attacked by the railroad in a
suit in the federal court, the Louisville
and Nashville and several other roads in
the state which had lowered their rates
in compliance with the act of the legs-
lature restored them to what they were
at first.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-05-06
POWER TO ENFORCE
IT'S OWN ORDERS

At this point, the court held, however
that while the railroad commission did
not have the power to enforce the act OF
the legislature. it had the power under
other acts to make and enforce its own
ORDERS even If they were the same as
an act of the legislature which had been
enjoined. The decision covered 10 type
written pages. The court discusses all
of the arguments presented by both sides
and while some parts of the decree are
favorable to the railroad company, the
final decision is against 1t.
The part favorable to the railroad, In
effect is, the ruling that II the 21a cent
rate as ordered by the commission is
reasonable. the complainant has rem
edy but not through the proceedings at
that time before the court. This rem
edy, 1t Is held. would be through an ap-
peal to the state courts under the state
laws or by an Independent proceeding
In federal court of equity for an in
junction against the railroad commission,
and not by contempt proceedings. az
the case at hand was.
Mr.. Bowie, counsel for the Louisville
and Nashville. stated that while he could
make no official statement. he assumed
that the railroad would take appro-
pirate action following the decision con-
cerning which he had telegraphed them.

decision of Federal Judge w. I. Grubb of
the northern district of Ala ALBANIA. declin-
ing to have the members of the Alabama
railroad commission adjudged as in con-
tempt of the federal court for ordering
the establishment of the 21a cents pas
senger rates on the Louisville and Nash
vile railroad in Alabama, Charles Hen
derson, president of the railroad commits
sion, declared in brief interview today
that the dream of many years had been

form, stating that he had labored TO

The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-05-06
ORDER THEN ISSUED
BY THE COMMISSION

At this stage of the proceedings the
railroad commission issued an order that
the Louisville and Nashville again lower
its passenger rates to 21a cents, the order
to become effective May 20, 1913.
The railroad company attacked this or
der on the grounds of it being in con-
tempt of Judge Jones decision in the
former case, and the decree issued by
Judge Grubb yesterday holds that the
order is not in contempt and that the
railroad company will have to obey it by
restoring the pa cent passenger rate. The
railroad commission has been awaiting
a decision in the Louisville and Nash
VILE case before taking further action,
and it is believed now that they will
take similar action with other railroad
companies operating in the state.
The decree of the court holds that the
railroad commission has authority to es-
tablish and maintain any rates it sees
fit. independent of any act of the legis-
lature or any injunction which may be
taken out against any law of the state.
Judge Grubb states that 'if the order
be construed as having been made under
power of the commission to enforce the
statute 1t is plainly a violation of the
Injunction, the effect of which was TO
restrain the commission from taking any
step to enforce the statute"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-05-06
COMMISSION WOULD THEN
BE BROUGHT UP TO DATE

With these additions he declared
the commission of Alabama would be
brought up to date"
Mr. Henderson's interview was as fol-
lows:
The decision of Judge Grubb denying
the petition of the Louisville and Nash
vile railroad in its application to the
federal court of the middle district of
Alabama to have the members of the
commission adjudged as in contempt OF
the federal court, and to declare the SUBJ
Ject matter of its act res adjudicata by
reason of the order issued by the railroad
commission February 10. 1918, fixing the
standard passenger rate ON the Louis
vile and Nashville railroad in Alabama
at PA cents per mile, is very gratifying
to me personally as well as officially.
"On' May q. 1902, from my office in
Troy, | issued circular letter which was
mailed to the address of many business
men over the state, reciting the need of
railroad commission law with power and
authority to fix rates, prevent discrimina-
tions and other bad practices, and urging
the necessity of prompt action. Sufficient
