Text | Judges Hewett E. Jackson and George R. Sage, of the United States Court, handed down opinions yesterday in the case of the Interstate Commerce Commission against the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company. The Interstate Commerce Commissioners filed a petition, asking the court to issue a writ of injunction restraining the Baltimore & Ohio from continuing to issue party rate tickets in violation of the orders and for a decree imposing upon the road a heavy fine if they failed to obey the injunction if granted. The injunction was not granted, the fine was not imposed, and the suit was dismissed at the cost of the commission. … Judge Sage holds that party rate tickets, which are not in general use, but are limited almost exclusively to traveling theatrical troupes, do not constitute unjust discrimination. |
