Is Continued 10 Dee. III
Court Hears Arguments and
Injunction Against Increase
Remains in Force


Justice Benedict heard arguments by
q representative of the Attorney Gen
erals office and counsel for the Long
Island Railroad yesterday in the Su-
preme Court, Brooklyn, on the tenn
porary injunction granted by Justice
Cropsey, preventing the Long Island
Railroad from making the 20 per cent
increase In passenger fares, which
would have become effective yestcr-
day under the Interstate Commerce
Commissions order.
The temporary injunction WAS con-
tinued for the present and Justice
Benedict instructed attorneys for both
sides to have all the papers in the
case before him by December II. Al
though the Staten Island Rapid Tran
sit Company and the New York Cen
tral Railroad were represented at the
hearing, the former las filed no schcd-
ule of increased rates and the case
Of the latter probably will be settled
with that of the sixty other railroads
in the state in the Supreme Court at
Kingston, N. Y, within a few days.
besldes urging the necessity Of
higher fares if the Long Island Rail
road was to maintain its service
standards, its attorney suggested that
there was some doubt as to whether
it might not he considered an inter
state railroad despite the fact that ITS
tracks were entirely within the state
There had been decisions, he SAID,

piled to this that a railroad might be
an interstate road so far as freight
was concerned and an intrastate road.

Raj! Suit against y. S.
Inrolres $500, 100000
Grand Trunk W'esfern Seeks to
Collect Guaranty in Adrance
Of the Final Settlement

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Mand damos
proceedings against the Secretary of
the Treasury were Instituted to-day in
The District of Columbia Supreme
Court by the Grand Trunk Western
Railway Company to require payment
of an Interstate Commerce Commission
certificate calling for S500.OO0 as due
the road under the guaranty provisions
Of the transportation act.
Justice Mccoy issued an order, re-
turnable December 7, requiring Sccre-
tary Houston to show cause why the
writ should not be granted. While the
Grand Trunk company is the only peti-
TONER in the case, approximately $500
600 600 claimed by the railroads is in
volved in the litigation, according to
statement issued tonight by the As
sociation Of Railway Executives.
"This proceeding grew out Of the
opinion rendered October by the
Comptroller Of the Treasury the
statement sal, biased upon certain
certificates prcsent.d d by the Interstate
Commerce Commission to the Treasury
Trunk Western Railway Company and
tie Detroit Grand Haven and Mil
wauke, Railroad in which opinion the
Comptroller of the Treasury held thaI
partial payments could not be made
by the Secretary Of the Treasury to
carrier in advance Of final settlement
The Comptroller took the position
that the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion was empowered to issue only one
certificate TO each carrier, which certif-
icate must be fer the full amount of
the final settlement. While in this pro-
ceedng the Grand Trunk railway COM
pany is the only petitioner, yet the re-
suit of the decision rendered in this
case will involve the payment Of ap-
proximately S4OO 100000 now due 10
ailroads of this country under the
guaranty provisions of the transporta-
ton act
"This proceeding is a test case held
nee ssary to settle what the law is in
respect to the authority and obligation
of the Treasury Department 70 make
partial payments under the guaranty,
'when amounts are certified BY the In
tcrstate Commerce Commission as
certainly and in all event due, without
wyaitine before making any payment,
for the result Of final accounting, which
cannot be accomplished for very con-
siderable time
Secretary Houston said to-day that
no course was left the Treasury hut to
follow the decision Of the Com0troler
unless contrary decision should be
rendered by the courts. The Comp
troller's rulings, he said, are binding
on the Treasury, and at present there
is no alternative.
The Attorney General will have
charge of the governments side of the
cas- in the mandamus proceedings.
Secretary Houston said. but the legal
experts of the Treasury viii act in con
junction with the Department of
