Decision Establishes Supremacy Of
C. -C. In Regulating Matters
Pertaining To Railroads
Cotton Mill Strike Still Goes Or
Providence, R. I.—Representatives oi
the manufacturers and of both unions
involved in the strike in cotton mills
in Rhode Island rejected the propo
sition of the state board of mediation
and conciliation .that the wage con
troversy be submitted to Judge J. Je
rome Hahn, chairman of the hoard; as
sole arbiter..
Washington.—The supremacy of
the interstate commerce commission
over state utilities commissions and
similar state bodies In matters per
taining to the regulation of railroads
has been established by the decision
of the United States* Supreme court
in the Wisconsin rate case.
The court, in an unanimous decision
handed down recently, declared that
states cannot establish freight or pas
senger rates which interfere with in
terstate commerce, and cannot estab
lish rates within a state which are
discriminatory.
The spirit of the decision is con
tained in the declaration that “com
merce is a unit and does, not stop
at state lines.”
The decision upholds the x vital fea
ture of the transportation act of 1920,
which provided broader federal control
of carriers than heretofore had been
attempted. It greatly curtails powers
which had been claimed by the state
regulatory bodies; validates rates with
in states which had been ordered into
effect by the. commission, and .prob
ably precludes action by the states to
fix passenger fares am in pre-war days
when the two-cent fare was generally
mandatory.
A long-disputed problem Is settled,
because there has been conflict for
years as to Just What rights were
exercised by the federal government
as opposed to the states. The state
of Wisconsin was Joined in its suit hy
42 other states, while the contentions
of the, government hefor* the *0011
were supported hy the largest car*
riers.
When the interstate etnawee cam-
mission ordered higher rates into ef
