In the Pitcairn case Judge Morris de cided that the railroad must Include "private cars" in distributing Its cars to Independent operators but he did not think that eo-mlb-d "foreign railway fuel cars" should be so Included. Then the Interstate commerce commission ! passed an order requiring the Baltimore 1 and Ohio and other railroad* to Include j "private cars” In making their dlstrfy ! buttons. To this order the Baltimore and t Ohio objected, claiming that the point was then before the circuit court of ap peals and the the commission was In fringing upon the duties of the court In passing such an order.
