 Clayton to Sit
 Judge Henry D. Clayton issued re- straining orders in the two cases prohibiting the enforcement of the commissions orders until three fed eral judges have passed upon the petition of the railroad for in1unc- tion. Judge Clayton has gone to New Orleans for the hearing and will be joined there by W. I. Walker, judge of the United States circuit court of appeals, and Judge Bryan, district judge of Jacksonville, Fla
 The commission ordered all rail- roads in Alabama to establish an interstate passenger rate of three cents December 5, but the railroads early in the week applied for an in- junction.
 Shortly after the commission fs- sued the order in June the railroads asked the interstate commerce com mission to review it, contending that it would interfere with interstate commerce. The federal commission declined to make the investigation or to consider the case until the reduc- tion has been made effective in Ala bama.
 In the Albertville case the com mission ordered the Nashville, Chat tanooga and St. Louis railroad to ac- cept cotton for transportation and to issue bills of lading for such cotton when rendered at Albertville. The railroad contends that the car short age prevents the allocatton to Al bertville of cars in sufficient mum bers to move the cotton and for that reason it cannot issue bills Of ladine for the cotton rendered. In It's ap- plication for an injunction the rail road contends that the order inter- feres with interstate commerce. e
