1udge McCreary rendered An import
sat opinion in contempt proceeding
sommand by plaintiff in the case of the
Dsuver a. New Orleans Railroad Com
psny w. The Atchison, Topeka IL Santa
Pc Railway Company. The argument
Vas originally made before Judge Hal
let, who first entered an order directing
defendant to account to plaintiff for a
difference between the old division OF
through rate and the present proper
ton, which Ia the same ~ local rate and
which resulted from competition be-
tween plaintiff and defendant to restore
the old and higher proportion which
Was formerly allowed by defendant to
plaintiff, and required defendant to
check baggage to its destination upon
tickets issued by plaintiff. Judge Mo-
Creary, upoa rsargument. reversed
Judge H ,lies's decision upon all propo-
sitions except the last. He said: "In
my opiaiou courts ought not 70 inter
fere for the parpose OF preventing any
rsdnotisa OF rates which results from
scpetition between rival railway lines.
II. a. result OF the struggle for bust
mess between such competing compan-
les they voluntarily overoarry. either
for the public generally or for connect
ing lines at less than rei0unerative rates
Is II their own business. From the oon-
sequences resulting from a war Of rates,
and from q struggle with rival oompan-
tes to secure business. cJarts cannot re-
lieve."
