vance the case on the docket SO taat
speedy determination Of the questions IN
volved may be had.
IL Is stated that the decision o, the
supreme court last Monday IN the case
of the Trans Missouri Freight Associa-
ton coyers all the main 1oiats in the
decision OF Judges Wallace and Tacorbe
in the case of rfe Joint Traffic ASSocia-
ton, and though II vas a majority opin-
ion. neither this nor that OF the minority
sustained the principal points eontended
for by the traffic association and allowed
by the court below. The officials OF the
department OF justice had assumed that
in view OF the late supreme court decision
the Joint Traffic Association would dis
solve, as IL is understood the Western
association is doing. but information nas
reached them that the Joint Traffic As
soc!ation intends TO stili further contest
the questions involved. and hence appeal.
There Is no question al the department
OF justice that last Mondays decision
covered every kolslA t4NOtfSA ia
the joint Traffic Association case and so
far as the officials are able 10 see. there
can be only one issue 10 the contest. and
that is that the association must dissolve.
II also has an opinion that the pas
senger associations come as clearly with
in the prohibition as do freight associa-
tions.
IL Is believed that the appeal will be de-
cided before the summer recess Of the
court.
