THE ". S. SUPREME COURT
SPLITS RAILWAY PACT
Existing Union Of Two Railways Fet
tiers the Free and Normal Flow
of Transportation.

Washington, ID. C.-DiSsolution of
Pacific railway by the Southern Pa.
cific company was ordered by the ST..
preme court in an option delivered by
Justice Day. The decision in the
case, which was the last of the rail.
road merger suits to come before the
court, held that the two lines were
competitive. Justice McReynolds and
Brandeis, because Of their official
connections prior to going upon the
bench, did not participate.
The court directed that a decree be
entered serving the control by the
Southern Pacific on the Central Pa,
cific by stock ownership or by lease,
but said the mortgage lien Of the
Union Trust company of New York
should be protected. The several
terminal lines and cut-offs leading to
San Francisco bay, which have been
constructed or acquired during the un.
flied control of the two systems for
convenient access to the bay should
be dealt with the court declared, eth.
er by way Of apportionment or by pro.
visions joint or common use in such
manner as will secure to both com.
panies acces to the bay and to termi.
nal facilities thereon so that each
company will be able freely to COM
pete with the other"
A like course should be pursued.
Justice Day added, Tin dealing with
the lines extending from San Fran
cisco bay to Sacramento and to Port
land, Ore"
The case had been pending since
February II, 1914, when the United
States asked the United States dis.
trict court Of Utah to restrain the two
railroads, the Union Trust company
of New York, and the directors and
officials Of the Southern Pacific under
the Sherman antitrust and the Pa.
cific railroad act. The United States
asserted that the lines of the two
railroads constituted competitive sys.
TENS and added that the ownership
acquired by the Southern Pacific of a
controlling interest in the Central Pa.
cific be declared unlawful.
A minute review of the history of
the two roads was given by Justice
Day leading up to what he terms "the
outstanding facts" of the physical
operation ofNthe two railroads.
"The Central Pacific, with it's east,
ern connection at Ogden, forms one
great system Of transportation be.
tween the east and west" the opinion
stated, land the Southern Pacific with
its roads and connections and steam,
boat lines forms another great trans
continental system for transportation
from coast to coast. The Central Pa
cific constitutes some 500 miles Of
transcontinental line Of which it is a
party. The Southern Pacific system
has. practically it's own line of rail
roads and steamboats, connections tt
New York via. Galveston and New
Orleans"
The acquisition OF the Central Pa
cific stock by the Southern Pacific
was held to be unlawful under the
opinion Of the court in the Union Pa
cific case, unless justified by the
Especial circumstances relied upon fol
the purpose" but the court discarded
them as not j~ustifying the control
The present case did not differ from
the Union Pacific case at all in prin
ciple, Justice Day asserted.

Washington, D. C.-Having obtained
agreement among operators producing
so per cent Of the bituminous coal
now being mined to restrict spot
prices to a maximum Of $3.50 a ton for
the duration Of the strike. Secretary
Hoover was understood to be consider
ing a conference of wholesale and re-
tail coal dealers to discuss means Of
insuring to the public the benefits Of
the price agreements.
!. Definite plans for the conference
are yet to be determined, it was said
at the department Of commerce. The
general proposal is to obtain the 20
operation of the two classes of deal

y Conferences looking to a price
agreement for their district is to be
held with the operators OF producing
fields in Pennsylvania.
Secretary Hoover said he regretted
that a small minority of the operators
representing western Kentucky
had refused to cooperate and were de-
manding $4.25 a ton, a price which he
said he did not feel justified in adj
vising the public to accept, although
production costs were higher there
than in other fields.
-
} Chicago.-Increases Of % to 80
cents a ton for coal on the retail
market were forerunners Of further
advances after existing supplies are
exhausted, according. to leading deal
ers. Retailers declared the rise was
one Of the results Of the Washington
conference of coal operators, when
Secretary Hoover approved a max
imum price of $3.50 a ton for spot
coal at the West Virginia mine. These
retailers predicted that West Virginia
coal would go to SO a ton within a
few days, an advance of $1.75.

PART III.

The right thing to do when every
cylinders or rings is to get the pis-
tons out of the cylinders. measure
them accurately with a micrometer
and measure the cylinders all along
their length. At the same time the
ring fit in the piston may be checked,
the ring fit in the cylinder and the
condition of the cylinder wall. Now,
the average garageman does not know
how to use a micrometer properly,
and you cannot find the exact cause
of the. trouble unless such an instru-
ment is used. A micrometer Is an in
strument used by mechanics for
measuring to the closeness of .0O1
inch or less. There are inside mi
crometers for inside circles, such as a
cylinder bore, and outside micrcm-
eters for outside measurements, such
as piston or piston pin. Only a
good service station or a shop which
specializes in this kind of work
should be entrusted with it,
If it Is found that, the cylinders are
in good condition mot scored or worn
ovaD and the pistons measure close
enough, but the rings are worn. new
rings of the same size as the cylinder
bore may be installed. Usually, now
ever. If the rings are badly worn and
are loose up and down in their grooves,
the cylinders also are worn sufficiently
to call for removal of metal by soma
refinishing process. But, granting
that new rings alone would do the
work, It requires a good man to fit
the rings, first to the cylinder, and
then to the piston. The rinbs, If prop
erly fitted. do not have to be Of any
special design. They must be good,
first-quality accurately made rings,
and they may be of the simple diagon-
ally-split or step-joint type. There is
more to the quality and accuracy of
the ring and the care with which II
Is fitted than there is to the design of
the ring.
There are hundreds of designs Of
patent rings. Some of them are worth
less so far as doing what are claimed
for them. The trouble however is not
so much with the ring design, as with
the material of which they are made,
their accuracy of manufacture and the
way the repairman fits them.
Many owners have had new piston
rings installed and then wondered why
the engine performed no better than
before. This may be due to the re-
pairman's guess, to inaccurate work,
poor materials being used, or the
wrong job being done.
