In an opinion of Justice Peckham. which was unani mously concurred In by the entire court, the Supreme Court of the United States today reversed the decision of the I'nlted States Court for the southern district of New York granting an Injunction against the enforcement of Ue SO-cent gas law. The drolsion of the court did not deal with the constitutionality of the law. but left the inference that that question would depend upon the fact ss to whether the law was confiscatory, which it was Intimated has been sufficiently deter mined. Justice Peckham said that a bona tide test should be made under the opera tion of the law before appealing to the courts for Its nullification. The action was begun by the gas com pany in the shape of a prayer tor an Injunction against the enforcement of the law. and the Injunction was granted bv that court, on the ground that tne terms of the law make It confiscatory of the property of the gas company, the rate fixed being- below a reason able price, in the opinion of that court. The decision of the United States Circuit Court of New Tork was against the 80-cent gas law and sustained the Consolidated Gas Company in Its re fu, :o deliver gas for 80 cents per )i ieet. From this decision appeal was taken to the United States Su ,r. '"ourt. P til AND CDHETJ NAMED ELECTION HEDD BY TJXIOX 'RE PUBLICAN' CXUB.
