Opinion of the Court
Mr. Justice Frankfurter delivered the opinion of the^ Court.
This case is a companion case to Railroad Commission v. Rowan & Nichols Oil Co., ante, p. 570. There are minor variations in the facts of the two cases, but not of sufficient moment to call for particularization. The decision, in the Rowan & Nichols case is decisive of this.
The decree is vacated and the case is remanded to the district court for dismissal of the complaint.
Vacated.
