LEHIGH VALLEY MUST
GIVE UP INTERESTS IN
LAKE TRANSPORTATION
Interstate Commissions Ruling
Sustained by Decision of
United States Circuit
Court of Appeals
GOVERNMENT VICTORY

The Federal Government today won an
important legal victory when Judge John
b. Mcpherson, of the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals. sitting as dis
triot Judge, refused to enjoin permanently
| the Interstate Commerce Commission from
enforcing what the Lehgh Valley Rail-
road Company regardede as an order re-
quiring 1t to give up it's interests in, the
Lehigh Valley Transportation Company
The latter corporation is the water line
Of the railroad company. It operates on
the Great Lakes between Buffalo and
Chicago. The railroad company own all
OF the stock of the Transportation Com
pany.
Judge Mcpherson directs that the suit
Of the railroad company for n permanent
injunction be dismissed This decision
has the effect of dissolving n temporary
injunction issued by the court pending
final determination of the issues at stake.
The suit Of the Lehigh Valley was the
first test of an order of the commission
under the Panama Canal act, and the de-
cison of Judge Mcpherson is likely to
serve as a precedent in a number of other
similar cases which were decided by the
commission at the same time. Appeal to
the United States Supreme Court is ex-
pected
Under the protection of the temporary
injunction the railroad company has been
operating its lake line since the opening
of the navigation season on the Great
Lakes on April Is. Confident that Its
suit would be maintained, the railroad
company expended many thousands of
dollars putting its lake line in operating
condition for the current season, and un-
less II Is willing to pay daily penalties |
of $4,000 for operating the water route |
in defiance of the present decision until |
the Supreme Court of the United States |
has had an oportunity to adjudicate the |
questions, it will have to suspend opera
tions
BY the time the Supreme Court takes
up the case, in the event of appeal which |
Is regarded as certain, the navigation sea-
son for the present year will have ended
The order of the commission was made
under the provision of the Panama Canal
act, which prohibits railroads from having
any interest whatever in water routes
with which they may or do compete"
The Lehigh Valley Company maintained
that competition with it's lake line was
impossible, but rather than run the risk |
IF paying $4,000 daily fines, 1t applied to
he Interstate Commerce Commission for |
IN inquiry whether ther was competition
between the two companies
The commission replied in the afIirna-
i've. The railroad applied for an injunc-
ion contending that as its rail line eX-
ended from New Jersey to Buffalo, and
is water line from Buffalo to Chicago,
here was no competition. The govern
nent urged the point that the Lehigh
Company had a through rate with rail-
oads with which it connected in Buffalo,
md that these relations brought it within
he categorical definition of competition
With it's lake line.
