OPINION

COLLINSON, District Judge.

In these two cases, which have been consolidated because of common identity of the parties and the issues, plaintiff, a common carrier, seeks "to enjoin, annul, suspend and set aside" two orders of the Interstate Commerce Commission, each of which grants temporary authority to the intervenor to transport general commodities (with certain exceptions and restrictions) over specified routes in Missouri and Kansas.
