REVIEW OF CASE.
In iew of the great interest in this
question a review of the principles un
derlying the decision of the supreme court
in the Chesapeake aud Ohio case win
be timely. This derision is the outcome
of an Investigation condur-tcd by a Smith-
em democratic member of the commis-
sion Hon. Judeos. C. Clcsients of tieor-
gin untverseity recugnlsed as one of the
ablest members of that oody.
Thts was the first ease tesun bv the
commtorton under what is known as tho
KIkins anti-rebate act of IW. The record
shows that on June 30 13 William C.
Bulihi filed sn affidavit with tbe com-
mission setting forth the alleged Illegal
contract and practices of the Chesapeake
and Ohio
The commission Immediately Issued an
ofdef for an Investigation and upon July
3 began taking; tsetlmony. On the th
the commission in i-onslderailon of the
testimony taken entered an orier ex-
pressing its belief that the testimony
Showed violations of the law in untif
discriminations and practices equivalent
w tn smuwaace or reoates ow oml aad
directing that tlie record be transmitted
to the attorney general with request that
suitable proceedings be instituted in
court for the enforcement of the law
against these condemned practices. This
order reached the attorney general am
the 7th of July. By July 12 a petition
had been prepared and filed In court and
a temporary restraining order Issued
against the defendants enjotiiinty them
from the further exeajuUon of the con-
tract In question.
It will be seen therefore that wlthfn
fourteen days of the filing of the affi-
davit which was the basis of this ln-
qwiry. tbe mrftrer had been Investigated
by tbe commission turned over to tha
department of Justice and an injunction
obtained. Tha. serves to show thw
miseton s aevfon Tw case was vigor-
ously prosecuted by the attorney general
yet It was substantially two years and a
half before the matter cmild be rtnally
Judicially determined The restraining
order was however. In effect during that
peried.
FACTS ARE INTERESTING.
The facts are Interesting from another
point of view. It has been vehemently
argued by most of the railway presidents
of the country that there Is no ned of
any public authority to further control
the action of the carriers tweause their
own pecuniary Interesti and the Inter-
ests of their fn irons are mutual and
that the success of the roods is so de-
pendent upon the prosperity of their pa-
trons that the self-interest of the car-
riers may be felled upon to protect their
shippers and guarantee fair treatment.
While this Is their constant contention
and argument they also uniformly pro-
fess their antipathy to any sort of dis-
criminating device and assert their will-
ingness and even desire for the moet
rig;d strengthening of the laws against
th same And yet here are set forth in
connection with an 11 I and grosy
discriminating contract strongly con-
demned by t tL- s'jpreme court tut- ninie-
of M. E. ingalls. former president of ihe
Cheeejpe.ile and Ohio and his o o-Bwr.
O. VY ail evens e). Mel It a. areandent of
the New York. New Haven and Hartford. I
and J Pierpont Morgan who. for value
received. pper to have guaranteed that
the rVnapstlr- snd Ohkt should not fail
to carry out Its Illegal contract.
It was claimed in argument before the
court as well as before the commission
that this contract was entered into tn
G-od faith and without any intent to vlo-
te the statute. The same plea was
made in behalf of the thirty-one railroad
presidents who signed the Joint traffic
agreement wkch was condemned by ths
supreme court as In violation oi the anti-
trust law So also the numerous rail-
road officials who signed the Tra nam Is-
svufi traffic agreement set up Ihe plea
of Innocence "f Intention as did the par-
tie to the deric- of the Northern Securi-
t company
It Is held by the supreme court in this
Cheaap-ake and Ohio case that notwith-
standing there is no express Federal
stat ate against a carrier engaged in In-
terstate commerce also f-naaglng as a
dealer in commodities whi ft u may be
called upon tn transport tt can not law-
fully b erne sw-k a dealer if the result
ts dlretly or indirectly to pr'wiuoe any
Inequality or dlsnmlnatlnn forbidden by
the interstate commerce law In other
words it la held that the rights and
powers of such carriers otherwise exist-
ing must be everrlsed. If at all. only sub-
ject to the reqtjir metrts of the act. It is
strongly Intimated In the opinion that It
Is competent for congress ts prohibit al-
tiTthr arrW-rs from d-ailng la the
eommnditlea by their charters or by
fftate laws.
A BROAI PRINCIPLE
Tbe opinion of the court proceede upon
the broad principle that every right or
prwer La.:med or eiercte by the roads
whether unuVr their chart era or State
laws or by Implication aid custom. In
the abee-toe of express prohibition should
be aubordtnate to their hignT obligation
aid duty to repe-?t the command and
liir ttiti..ns of the sintuie deetrrif-d to
seeure equality of treatment and oppor-
tunity am-.ng shippers and to brak up
uiijust die rtfnina: kni in whaiever form
they may be clothed
The prbctKal application of this prin-
ciple to this eae Is a perpetual Injunc-
tion saga Inst the further carrying out the
illegal contract involved and against the
Chesapeake and Ohio from departing In
the future from its published rates on
coel It ts also heid that if true aa
claimed by tbe defendant roada. that the
contract Involved In flits case was made
In good fsfth and without Intent to vio-
late the law. this made ne difference and
does not excuse the court from the duty
of giving full effect to the salutary pro-
vision of the statute against discrimina-
tions and the court states is effect that
upon tbe facta shown tbe Cheeapeske
and Ohio acted upon what If conceived to
be its own interests without regs rd to
the economic cottopctam ard principles
upon which the lew is basel
T ts confidently bettered that the ap-
plication of the principles laid down by
th eonrt hi thtf case to other case
will break up many pracrx-es having tike
effect 'suck as the operation of many
coal roads throaaaTh the Inanru mentality
f UKorpo rated oeai compeniea the gtock
of which la controlled by the swilroads
themselves.
If. in addition to the enforcement of
the broad rule laid down In thts case to
all other rse to which It la apsjttcabls.
congress should act upon the Intimation
as to the power to prohibit altogether car-
riers from being also dealers In tha aftl-
o)am wrhioh thev carrv. the result Would
be to strike effectively at the tap rot of
many of the most Injurious and oppres-
sive discriminations In respect to so mo
of the leading commodities which are
the iubject of transportation wuch as
coal. ore. oil and timber Carriers have
even bt-en known to engage in the buying
and shipping of grain over their own
lines using a subsidiary ro; Inflation as
the mstrumentallty of purchasing and
shipping with the result as in this case
that the price of the article sold together
with the revenue for transporting It.
went Into the same socket. CohaequenUy
any cuttlnr of the freight rate wowid al-
ways be mads to appear by 4 simple
process of bookkeeping as a long In the
price of the article when sold.
In the opinion of those thoroughly con-
versant with the case In all Its details it
sharply Illustrates the contrast between
the self-interested carriers' conception of
Justice and fairness as between Its ship-
pers and patrons and itself on the one
hand and that of the commission an Im-
partial public tribunal on the other It
is taken as conclusively demevwtrnting
the unaafety of leaving to the arbitra-
ment of the carriers (be rights of ths
shipper to justice snd equality.

watt for the oorasattte If it Insisted on
prolonging the examination of witnesses
and that If the committee wished to get
a bill passed It should begin at once to
take consideration of such a measure. Ha
made it clear however that he made no
objection to the examination of Mr. Crom-
well of Mr. Market or any other wit-
nesses after the type of canal had been
determined. Nearly all of the senators
present expressed views similar to those
of Mr. Klttredge. Mr. Morgan later
agreed to tie suggestion thst the further
examination of witnesses be postponed.
Mr. Cromwell was waiting In the corri-
