SAYS SYMMONDS STIRRED

District Attorney Tangle is as Perplexing as

"JOKER"

this morning, shat the appeal started
by Attorney Symmonds on Saturday,
came as bolt from what appeared
to be clear sky to US. We had
been under the impression that the
election squabble was closed and GER
tainly we would not have re-opened it,
The crux of the new situation lies
in the release whichs was recently
signed by Attorney Barnett and which
will feature in the suits which Attor-
ney Stewart declares will be brought
for back pay and for attorneys fees.
Attorney Stewart declares that Mr..
Barnett will not dispute the signing
of this release, but that he will claim
that there is tacit understanding
that it was to close all litigation in
the case. No such clause, however, is
written in the release. Ill.

Complete Power is
Given to Commission
State Railway Commission Has Conn
plete Jurisdiction in Reg
ulating Train Service.

Madison.-The Wisconsin state rail-
road commission is given complete
jurisdiction in regulating train service
within the state, under an order IS
sued by the Interstate Commerce COM
mission, in the case of the state COM
mission against the Minneapolis, st,
Paul g. Sault St. Marie and Chicago
Northwestern railroads, according to
statement today by Lewis E. Gettle,
chairman of the state commission.
The decision is highly important to
Wisconsin and to other states, Chair
man Gettle declared, in that it sets
new rule for state commission reg
ulation. The decision, in effect, holds
that that state commission has author
itv to regulate train service, even IN
cases where the trains operate be-
tween states. 1t was entered in an APP
peal to the interest body from an
order of the Wisconsin commission
directing the two railroads to resort
certain passenger trains operating be-
tween Mellen, Wis, and Bessemer,
Mich, and Saxon and Hurley, Wis.
The finding also is important, Mr..
Gettle stated, because under it the
state commission can order interstate
trains to stops at desired points in
Wisconsin for which had been .ques-
toned. In its decision, the interstate
BODY held that while congressman
regulate the operation of passenger
trains, it has failed to confer power
to do so upon the interstate commits
sion.
A number of other cases are pending
before the commission involving the
same question which can be settled
under the decision. 1t is likely, how
ever, that the railroads will appeal the
decision to the U. S. Supreme Court,
according to officials.
