COURT BUSINESSES TEXAS RAIL WAY RATE CON|P LIANT
Failure to Include Carriers as Parties to Bill Is Cause of
 Dismissal by Court

WASHINGTON, March 6.-AnotheT railroad rate case brought by the state of Texas against the interstate com- merce commission was decided today by the supreme court. the bill being dismissed on the ground that 1t had not been properly brought. The pro- ceedingS were instituted in the SUI preme court as an original case and the court held that "all suits to set aside, annul or suspend orders of the interstate commerce commission must be brought in the district courts and the United States made a defend ant"
 That portion of the bill particularly directed against the action of the commission charged, in substance, that it had placed the carriers of Texas in a territorial rate group with carierrs of other states where rail road construction and operation are attended with greater cost, had ap- proved a general increase in the inter- state rate and fares of carriers in that group; had directed a cores bonding increase in state rates, and fares of carriers in Texas; had au- thoriZed the abandonment by certain of their lines within the state, and had exercised a supervision over the issue of stocks, bonds and other SC curities by carriers chartered by the state. All of these acts, it was al legged, infringed on the powers re served to the state and subjected its citizens to unnecessary expense and great inconvenience.
 The state, to proceed properly in sucn matters, should nave provided for the carriers to have been heard, the court stated, and should have made them parties to the bill. Fail ure to do so precluded the court, it said, from awarding any relief.
