JUSTICE HUGHES WORD FINAL
NO FURTHER CONFLICT POSSIBLE
BETWEEN STATE AND INTER-
STATE COMMISSIONS
ITS IMPORTANCE EMPHASIZED
CHIEF JUSTICE DECLARES 1T is
ESSENTIAL THAT NATIONAL
BOARD BE MASTER

Washington, June S.-The supreme
court today upheld the interstate com
merce commissions order in the
Shreveport rate case, thus placing in
terstate railroads more under the com.
mission and less under the state com
mission.
Justice Hughes announced the
courts decision. He spoke of the un-
restricted power of the interstate com
mence commission, saying the com
mission was expressly created to pre-
vent conflicting state legislation.
Justice Hughes pointed out that con
gress and not the states had the pow
er to prevent the instruments of in
terstate commerce from being used so
as to injure interstate commerce.
The far reaching effect of the deci-
sion lies in the fact that rates which
the interstate commerce commission
ordered indirectly increased to remove
discrimination were prescribed by the
Texas state railroad commission. I'm
der the federal commissions order the
only way the railroads may establish
lconfiict with the Texas commission is
to reduce the interstate rates from
Shreveport to Texas cities, so as to
put the Louisiana city on competi-
tive basis with Texas iobbing centers
