TROLLEY FARE RAISE
HALTED BY SUPREME
COURT OF U. S. ACT

Washington, April 15.-Federal Court
DEGREES dismissing injunction proceed
ings brought to restrain city officials
of Columbus, Ohio, from preventing
the Columbus Street Railway Com
pany from increasing its fares, owing
to increased operating expenses due
principally to an award of the War
Labor Board, were sustained yeSter-
day by the Supreme Court in disposing
of appeals brought by the company
and its stockholders.
1T is undoubtedly true" said JUS
tice Day in announcing the opinion
that the breaking out of the world
war was not contemplated nor was
the subsequent action of the War La
Dor Board within the purview of the
parties when the contract was made.
1t may be, and taking the allegations
of the bill to be true, it undoubtedly
is Il case of a hard bargain, but equity
does not relieve from hard bargains
simply because they are such.
1T may be that the efficiency of the
service and fairness in dealing with
the company which performs such i'm
portant and necessary service ought
to require an advance i'll rates: such
was the strongly announced opinion
of the War Labor Board. But these
and kindred considerations addressed
themselves to the duly constituted au-
thoriteS having the control of the sub
.ect matter
we reach the conclusion that the
District court was right in holding
that this bill presented no grounds
abSolving the company from its con
tract and justifying the surrender of
its franchise"
Because an award of the War Labor
Board Increased employees wages 30
per cent. or $560,000 annually, the
company sought to furnish eight tick
cts for a quarter and universal trans
fers and to increase the fare to 5
cents
In denying the claim the federal
District court held that the company's
the value of its property and that the
franchises bound the company to per
form its obligations.
CHATS mighty important decision. -
said Counselor George l.. Record of
Jersey City i'll commenting on the de-
ciSion. "and it follows the decision of
the New York court of errors in the
opinion it held under similar stat
ute. The League of municipalities has
planned To take up the so-called Col
lingSWOod case to the L. S. courts, and
This is Il very encouraging decision
along that line. 1t would seem to JUS
tify the action of the municipality in
taking the case to the higher court
Counselor Record, who was special
counsel for Jersey City in the fight it
waged against cent fare, intimated
that he would have more to say when
he read the full text of the opinion
and digested it.
