The appellants brought their bill against the Central of Georgia Railway Company and the Ocean Steamship Company of Savannah, praying that the appellees be enjoined from increasing the rates on boots and shoes from Boston, Providence, and New York to Atlanta until the Interstate Commerce Commission should hear and determine the reasonableness and justice of the existing rates. The rate from said points of origin to Atlanta was 95 cents per hundred pounds. On August 1, 1916, the principal carriers participating in said traffic, including the appellees, filed and published in accordance with the Act to Regulate Commerce, a tariff to become effective September 15, 1916, increasing the rate on said commodity to $1.19 frorh Boston and Providence to Atlanta, and $1.14 from New York to Atlanta.
The bill was filed September 12, 1916, and on the same day a temporary restraining order was granted, and a rale to show cause why an interlocutory injunction should not be granted was issued, returnable September 22, 1916.

This appeal is from an order vacating the temporary restraining order and refusing to grant an interlocutory injunction.
