## Opinion text

McCOLLOCH, District Judge
(specially concurring).
I desire to express -my special approval of that part of Judge FEE’S opinion to the effect that whatever rights a carrier had as of June 1, 1935, should be respected and declared by the Interstate Commerce Commission, and certificate issued for the same. It would be a harsh rule to deny an applicant all rights simply because he claimed more or even a different right than he was entitled to. The extension of the jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce Commission into the field of motor transportation is new and advanced legislation, and the Act should be construed to avoid injustice to the many small operators engaged in making their living in this field at the time the law went into effect.
