DETAILED DECISION WAS NOT GIVEN OUT Railroads, Particularly Coal Carrying Lines, Fought the Measure. (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, D. C, May 3. The United States Supremo Court today reversed and remanded the decision of the United States Cir cuit Court In the commodities 'clause cases, but it did not give direction? as to the character of decrees which shall be entered. The only direc tions were to enforce and apply the statute as It is now constructed. The commodities clause of Hep burn railroad rate law was held by Supreme Court today to bo a regula tion of commerce which Congress has the right to enact. Briefly summarised the decision of the Supreme Court holds tho law constitutional, but it does not con cede the contentions of the govern ment as to its scope. An especial exception was to the ownership of stock in a different corporation which It was held did not constitute such ownership as would prohibit transportation under the terms of the law. It was also held that own ership of the commodity applied only to the time of transportation under tho terms of the law. It was also held ownership of tho commodity ap- I plied only to the time of transporta tion and if before transporting it, the railroad company has in good faith parted with a commodity, it i may carry it. The principal point in tho decision was in relation to tho railroads holding stock of sub ordinate companies and o that Im portant point the finding. was favor-' able to the roads. Justice Harlan dissented as to the stock feature but otherwise the decision was unani mous. COAL ROADS FOUGHT IT. Rate Caso Was Appealed From Philadelphia. ' (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, May 3.
