patent is for an Invention known as a sec
tional insulator which permits tho power
being shut oft on one line and not on

this city and was first installed here. The
question of time enters largely into tho
case and Mr. Conlln's testimony will be
particularly valuable for that reason.

COURTS ALONE

OPINION RENDERED T3Y JTJDOE
M. W. AOHESON.
In tho Caso of Dickson Manufactur
ing Company Against tho Ameri
can Locomotlvo Company Ho Over
rules tho Xatter's Dofonso and De
clares That Courts Alono and Not
Arbitration Hoards Havo Power
to Interprot Contracts Case Will
Be Tried Again.
An opinion was yesterday filed by
Judge M. W. Acheson, of the United
States Circuit court, in which ho over
rules the defense set up by the Ameri
can Locomotive company In tho suit
brought against it by tho Dickson
Manufacturing company of this city.
It will bo remembered that tho Dick
son Manufacturing company sold Its
locomotive works to the American com
pany and that a dispute arose over the
payment of $57,000 by the latter cor
poration. The amount in question was
claimed by the Dickson company as
tho cost to tho vendor of the locomo
tives In process of construction nt tho
time tho transfer was made. All Items
ofgeneral shop expenses, such as light,
heat, fuel, insurance, etc., were In
cluded. Suit was brought in the Circuit court
to recover the amount, and the defend
ant company in its defense did not go
at all Into the merits of tho claim, but
contended that under tho contract be
tween the two companies all- disputes
arising as to Interpretation or carry
ing out of the contract wero to bo re
ferred to a board of arbitration. The
plaintiff should have sought to have
such it board appointed, It was con
tended, instead of having recourse to
the court.
Judge Acheson, in his opinion, takes
nu entirely contrary view and holds
the arbitration clause of the contract
to be illegal.
"Plainly," he writes, "the stipulation
for arbitration relied on to defeat this
notion is an attempt to oust the juris
diction of the courts to determine the
rights of the parties. " Tho
stipulation for arbitration follows after
an express promise to pay and Is there
fore distinct and Independent."
The judge decides that the dispute
which has arisen between the parties
does not concern a matter of mere
valuation, but involves an interpreta
tion of the agreement entered Into be
tween the two parties. It requires a
determination of the meaning of the
words "cost to vendor of materials,
supplies and product, finished or In
process," and as to whether general
shop expenses are to be taken as an
element of "cost to vendor." The judge
declares 'that such an interpretation
should be made by a court and not by
a board of arbitration.
Tho defense based on the arbitration
clause Is overruled, and the case will
now go to trial again so as to give both
sides an opportunity to argue as to the
merits or demerits ot the claim for the
amount In question.
