BOARD WILL APPEAL
TO SUPREME Court
ON Rates DECISION
Intrastate Freight Rate Suspen-
sion Ordered by District
Court Is Cause
OTHER STATES LOOK ON
Attorney Generals Office Is
Preparing Appeal to the Ma
tion's Highest Tribunal
OTHER STATES LOOK ON

Decision to appeal to the supreme
court Of the United States from the
decision Of the federal district court
suspending intrastate class freight
rates ordered by the state rallroad
board for North Dakota was an
nounced by members Of the board
here yesterday.
Investigation Of the law covering
the authority Of federal courts to take
jurisdiction over such cases has con-
vinced North Dakota officials that
the federal court exceeded It's author
ity in issuing the order which sus-
pended the intrastate rates.
May File Briefs
Holding that the case squarely
presents the issue of the authority OF
state railroad boards to prescribe In
trastate rates. many other Commits
sions have asked the North Dakota
commission to carry the case to the
hiRh court and have indicated that
they will support the appeal by tl-
ing briefs in intervention.
The attorney generals office, which
defended the action of the railroad
board In the federal district court,
Is preparing the appeal for presenta-
ton to the supreme court.
In q discussion Of the decision by
John E. Benton, general solicitor for
the national association Of railroad
and utilities commissioners, said the
decision in the North Dakota case
will be far reaching in the event that
it Is sustained and the principle in
volved Is generally accepted.
Hold Up Rates
The federal court suspended the In
trAState class rate schedule on the
ground that the entire claSSrate scale
now is before the Interstate Com
merce Commission and that the state
rates should be held up pending q
decision In interstate schedules. In
view OF the fact that practically all
passenger and freight rates, both
state and intrastate. now arc before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
extension Of the principle in the
North Dakota case would bar state
commissioners everywhere from max
ing any changes In intrastate rates
until the Interstate Commerce Com
mission has acted.
Meanwhile notice has been received
by the state board that tentative
report Of the examiner for the Inter
state Commerce Commission is being
printed. It will be followed by briefs
and oral arguments for and against
the recommendation of the exam.

Commission then will make its deci-
sion.
