THE HARDWOOD RECORD 



21 



The light between the Lumbermen's 

 Club and the Louisville Car Service Asso- 

 ciation has now entered the courts and a 

 tedious struggle is predicted. The Ken- 

 tucky Railroad Commission several days 

 ago handed down a supplemental opinion 

 in the case of the Lumbermen's Club 

 against the Car Service Association, in- 

 volving regulations referring to placing 

 cars on public and private sidings and also 

 relating to information to be afforded 

 shippers, with reference to the arrival of 

 cars. The commission went into the mat- 

 ter at great length. It had been reported 

 that both the lumbermen and the railroads 

 composing the Louisville Car Service As- 

 sociation had approved the opinion and 

 that the Car Service Association was hav- 

 ing printed a new set of rules, embodying 

 those promulgated by the Railroad Com- 

 mission. The commission fixed October 31 

 as the date for the rules becoming effect- 

 ive. The Monon Railroad Company on _ 

 October 19 filed suit before Judge Walter 

 Evans in the United States District Court 

 for a restraining order, preventing the en- 

 forcement of the rules on the ground that 

 the Kentucky Railroad Commission had 

 no right to make laws for the Monon. 

 which does only an interstate business. 

 Judge Evans granted a temporary restrain- 

 ing order and set the hearing of the case 

 for a permanent injunction for October 28. 

 The chief point objected to by the Monon 

 was the rule allowing forty-eight hours for 

 shippers to unload cars after notice has 

 been given. This they assert gives prac- 

 tically another day of free time. Edmund 

 F Trabue of Louisville and G. W.Kretz- 

 inger of Chicago, general solicitor of the 

 Monon, filed the case. This brings the case 

 to the point where it will probably assume 

 national importance, in view of the deter- 

 mination of the shippers in this section to 

 carry the matter through the courts and 

 also to bring it before the Interstate Com- 

 merce Commission, if possible. A special 

 meeting of the Lumbermen's Club will be 

 held to consider the new phase of the 

 question, as it was thought the railroads 

 would abide by the decision of the Rail- 

 road Commission and no preparations had 

 been made to confront a suit in court. 

 However, the justness of their claims has 

 made them determined to fight it to the 



end.

The Lumbermen's Club of Louisville is 

 preparing a circular to be sent out to the 

 lumbermen throughout the state setting 

 forth the principles upon which it is de- 

 sider to form a state lumbermen's associa- 

 tion. A constitution and a set of by-laws 

 are in course of arrangement, which will 

 embody the best features of the constitu- 

 tions and by-laws of the various state 

 lumbermen's associations. The circulars 

 have gone to the printer and will be out In
