NOT U. S. FLEET
Emergency Fleet Corporation
Can Be Sued Without Leave.
Three Dissenting Opinions in
Decision Against Government.

Washington, May THE emer-
gency fleet corporation of the United
States shipping board. is not a gov
ernmentaT agency in the sense that it
cannot be sued without its consent, the
supreme court today decided.
The decision of the court was con-
sidered highly important by the gov
eminent because of the number of
cases pending before the corporation.
The opinion was delivered in cases
brought by the Sloan Shipyards cor
poration and other of the state of
Washington ana the Astoria Marine
Iron works OF Oregon, contending the
corporation was private, and by the
corporation against Roger B. Woods
trustee in bankruptcy of the Eastern
Shore Shipbuilding- corporation on the
ground that as a government agency
it was entitled to priority in the dis
tribution ofsthe sbankrnpt's estate
The court reversed the first two
cases which had been decided by the
lower courts in favor of the govern
ment and affirmed the judgment in
the last case which was against the
government.
Chief Justice TaIf delivered a dis
senting opinion and stated that Jus

ACCEPT NEW RATE ON SALT
Kansas Companies VIII Receive Spe-
cial Rate to st. Louis and Chicago.

Kansas salt interests will receive
thru lines which will enable them to
compete with Louisiana producers.
All thru line roads have agreed to ac-
cept the new rate schedule which pro-
vides salt rates to st. Louis and Chi
cago similar to those enjoyed from
the Louisiana field.
Clyde NJ. Reed, chairman Of the
public utilities commission, stated to-
day that all thru roads had agreed to
the new rate. It is slightly higher
than the rate to Chicago from New
York state. but the distance from
Kansas is greater. A further reduc-
ton from Kansas is to be asked on
the grounds that the Kansas mileage
to the two market centers is less than
from Louisiana points.
