KANSAS City, Mo-, May 3.-The rail-
roads have ignored the sweeping de-
cision of the United States supreme
court against railroad pools and trusts
in the Transmissouri Freight associa-
ton case. They have again banded
themselves together for the making
and maintenance Of rates and To stihe
competition. New passenger and
freight agreements have been adopted
in the west and south and the machin-
cry of the new organizations Is at work.
The agreements Of the new associa-
tions were framed by skillful attorneys
and it is claimed that they in no way
violate the terms OF the Sherman anti
trust law.
