These preliminary issues were tried out tion Corporations Law. being chapter 63 of the Consolidated Laws, the regulations before the arbitrators, who disagreed, but held that such gncstinns were beyond contained in tariff circular No. 1 adopted by order made therein oil August 28. 1911li, their jurisdiction.
