RULING BY COURT.

The court held that in the absence of
applications by the railroads for the
specific rate changes ordered, the COM
mission was without power to direct
them. Upon appeal, however. the gov
eminent contended that such applica-
tions had been substantially filed and
that under the ruling of the intermoun-
tain rate case, and the long and short
haul clause of the Interstate commerce
act the commission had acted within
its authority. 1t was pointed out that
towns not directly situated on the Pa
cific ocean We're, by their inferior geo
graphical position, not subject to the
competition of ocean terminals and not
entitled to reduced rates given such
terminals.

INJUNCTION ASKED.
The government. the commission and
the transcontnental railroads appealed
to the supreme court from a perpetual
injunction granted March II, 1916, by
The northern California federal district
court annulling the commissions ord
ers of January % and April 80, 1915,
which allowed the railroads to reduce
cross continental freight rates to San
Francisco. Oakland, San Diego, Port
land, Seattle and other deep harbor
ocean points in order that the rail
roads could meet water competition
caused by the opening of the Panama
canal. The commission refused TO
classify Sacramento, Stockton, San
jose and Santa Clara as Pacific ter
minals, DENYING them the rate reduc-
tions given the ocean terminals. Those
cities therefore bore additional rate
charges-the back haul" from the ter
minals.

Merchants & manufacturers Traffic

fe bureau OF the San Jose Chamber of
Commerce, the Stockton traffic bu-

AMERICAN MOVIES

PURE OLD LONDON?

London. Dec. 4.-Three gangs of
young London street fighters just
rounded up and vigorously padded by
the police, have passed the buck to
America. Their slang. their peculari-
ties of dress and their penchant for
fsticuffs all came from American films
exhibited in English movie houses to
the almost total exclusion of British
production.
DiNies, Boston boys and Boweries
were the street clans which ran into
the coppers' net. The youngsters wore
large caps. very baggy peg-top trou-
sers and striped sweaters just like the
gang fighters shown in the films. Most
Of them rolled their own cigarettes,
which isn't an English custom, and
when their caps were lifted in court it
was seen that they favored the high
