Victory for the Government
i'm the Intermountain
Railroad Case
INTERSTATE COMMERCE
COMMISSION UPHELD
Approval of the Blanket Rate Order
May Have an Important Bearing on
Fight for Higher Freight Rates.

WASHINGTON, June %. - The in
terstate commerce commission s social
ed intermOuntaiu rate orders were sus
tanned as valid yesterday by the Su
preme Court which held, at the same
time, that the long and short haul
clause of the interstate commerce law
was constitutional Both had been at
tackled by the transcontinental rail
roads.
The defunct commerce court, passing
over the constitutional question, had
apnulled the orders, on the ground that
the commission had no authority to is
sue '.blanket or zone orders ana
might act only on the reasonableness
of specific rates. In overturning that
contention yesterday and holding that
the commission did have such power,
the Supreme Court decided a point
which lawyers and close observers of
the interstate commerce commission S
procedure say is of equal Importance
to the intermountain rate case itself
if not greater.
Opposition to the ) per cent increase
in freight rates being asked by the
eastern railroads-and upon which the
interstate commerce commission is ex
pected to announce its decision at any
day-had been based principally upor
the contention that the commission die
not have authority under the law tC
grant such S'blanket increase
Copies of the court s decision yester
day were sent Immediately to the com
mission for guidance.
What the effect-if anv-of the de
cision upon the rate case may be, car
| be the subject only of conjecture
There are those among the well-inform
ed in the commission 5 procedure, how
ever, who say the decision in the dis
position of the railroads application
/ has been delayed, awaiting the Suprem
! Court S decision on that impOrtan
point.
Chief Justice White announced tn
unanimous decision of the court. H
said the ease turned largely upon tn
construction and validity of the Ion
and short haul clause in the fourth sec
! ton Of the interstate commerce. act, a
amended in 1910. His conclusion wa
that the amendment in 1910 transferre
from the railroads to the commissio
the power hitherto reposed by Congress
in the railroads to determine what e,
/ emptions should be made from the gei
eral prohibition against charging les
for long haul than for a short hau
/ He said if it was valid for Congress
: TO, allow the railroads to exercise tn
: power. it was valid for Congress |
. let the commission exercise it.

them how and expect them to do most
of the work. All of these things tend
ed towards developing a new class, a
middle class of men who were reason
ably intelligent and ambitious to get
up in the world, the same as our fore
fathers, who were once slaves of the
early Britons. AS n result of the
American railway men s efforts to keep
down the natives they rebelled and
formed a strong labor organization,
which included all classes of mechanics,
and took their grievances to Diaz, who
decided with them and gave the rail
ways notice that natives should be
given the preference in matter of en-
| ployment which naturally they We're
entitled to, as so per cent of the rail
| ways of Mexico were owned by the
| federal government.
''This was really the beginning of
the awakening, and these men who had
| been down-trodden for ages, com
| menced TO think and reason and they
| began to see that the federal govern
ment had been existing principally for
the benefit of a few, that public lands
| had been pilfered by these few and
more of it given to foreigners while
| they, the common people, had received
none. Madero coming along about that
| time-he was the son of rich man
| who had received his education IN
| Paris and there | presume learned the
| ways of the Patriots-having plenty of
money. sought high honor, but didn t
have the backbone to handle such a
people after he secured the honor and
when he attempted to develop his
fancied theories he was suppressed by
the old guard and eventually put out
of the way His first revolution
brought forth another class, the most
dangerous of all-the men of the Villa
class, who are nothing more or less
than licensed bandits. If the conStitu
tionalists win they still have a hard
problem to solve, which is to hold il
restraint this bandit class.
