operating the Lehigh Valley aud asking

others, OF Trenton, N. j., in June last
Various afidavits were su omitted to show
that the Lehigh Valley Railroad was
being operated TO the detriment of the
stockholders and of the public, and to the
advantage of the New Jersey Central and
the Reading. In reply the Reading and
the Lenigh Valley companies filed one
affidavit after another completely reful-
ing the assertions of the plaintiffs.
The decree is received here as eminently
proper. There is some antagonism to
the Reading, not so much because it has
leased the Lehigh Valley but because it
has discharged men at the Lehigh
Valley shops and taken work elsewhere
that has always been done here But
there is no desire to take from the Read
ing anything legally its own, however
much the people would like to see the
lease broken.

counsel for the complainants, said he was

There can be no question that the

means the repeal Of all laws favoring
