After hearing the argument Judge
Sbiras overruled the demurrer of the

been established and published under
the provisions of the interstate COM
merce law was conclusive as to its rea-
sonableness. In actions of this kind he
said, the schedule must be CONTROLLED
No offer of proof that ii is unreasonable
can be accepted. for it is itself the
standard of reasonableness until such
time as it Is modified by the interstate

II any shipper considers the schedule
too high his remedy lies. not in a suit
for extortion but in a petition to the
interstate commerce commission for a
modification of the schedule. Judge
Shiras announced that the same order
would be made in some of the remain
ing cases, in order that all may be taken
to the circuit court of appeals without
delay. This court will hear the matter
at st. Louis or st. Paul. All the cases
stand on the same ground. as it is not

positive shape until about the first of
the present year, when it was determln-
ed to hold conference in March, but
the illness of prominent officials pre-
vented then and the date was changed
to April II. The object of the meeting
is to bring together a large body of
men, many of whom have never met,
and to acquaint them with the ter
ritory in which they are employed to
work up business. This method of
bringing together men working in the
same interest has been adopted by
nearly all large systems iu the country
and has finally been adopted as an an
nual meeting by the Sunset system.
