MR. MACFARLANE ANSWERS NIX PHELFS.
HE DENIES THE LATTER's ASSERTION THAT TH~
CIRCUIT COURT HAS NO JURISDICTION IN
THE JOINT TRAFFIC CASE.

HE DENIES THE LArTERs ASSERTION THAT TIN
CIRCUIT COURT HAS NO JURISDICTION IN
THE JOINT TRAFFIC CASE.
The argument before Judge Wheeler In the Unfted
States Circuit Court in the matter Of the appfcae
ton of the United States to entoin
the members Of the Joint Traffic Association OF the
railroad companies from continuing their agree
ment was resumed in the General Postoffice Build
ing Yesterday Edward J. Phelps. who was speak
ing at the hour Of adjournment on Thursday, re-
sumed argument He cited United States Supreme
Court decisions In the Wh.skey Trust cases to snow
that the Circuit Court had no jurisdiction In the
matter now before the latter tribunal Mr.. Phelps
said that the failure Of railroad company always
brought widespread disaster to families and In
diyiduas who held shares. bonds. etc. There
could be no doubt, he said. that the general public
could not afford to have any Of the railroads
starved to death. The companies should not be
prevented from forming an association 70 protect
their own interests.
United States District-Attorney Macfarlane then
addressed the Court He said that the contention OF
Mr. Phelps and Mr. Carter that the United States
District Court had no jurisdiction was not well
taken He also disputed their allegation that there
was no cause for application on his pant for an
Injunction against the Joint Traffic Association.
The law he said made 1t obligatory on his part
to institute the action against the railroad The
Dstrct-Attorney added that any attempt 10 restrict
competition among the railroad companies by the
formation OF a Joint Traffic Association or an
agreement to pool business odious violation
Of both the letter and the spirit OF the law.
Mr. Macfarlane announced that he would submit
his additional brief speedily as possible probably
on next Friday. 1t Is probable that the Court viii
render decision before the summer vacation.
