is no new money going out there and
no new money coming in. Wheat and

but still the farmers appear to have no
money with which to pay interest VA

 Must go.

CHICAGO, ILL, March 24-Eyery Western Freight Association and combination having headquarters in Chicago is apparently in a condition of approaching dissolution as the result of the decision of the federal supreme court declaring all such pools in violation of the Sherman antitrust act. One railroad, the Atchison, Topeka Sc Santa Fe, has taken quick action, and served notice of withdrawalfrom all freight organ izations of which It has been q mem- Der. These are the Western Freight Association, Colorado Freight Asso- citation, Trans-Continental Freight Committee, trans-Missouri Rate Committee. All these associations are practically abandoned.
 Besides tne santa Fe, the Burling- ton, Minneapolis and St Louis, Wisconsin Central, Chicago Great Western and several others are said to have already forwarded a notice of withdrawal. No notice of with drawal from the Western Passenger Association or other passenger organizations west have yet been given. There is hardly any doubt however, that these will have to go by tie board.
