AS the United States supreme court will
adjourn for the summer next Tuesday. says
the New York Commercial. 1t Is thought
that its decision in the Joint Traffic asso-
citation case will be handed down. West
ern railroad men are confident that 1t will
be against the association.
While 1t is true that the association has
net been altogether successful In ACQUIRING
maintenance OF freight rates. especially
on Eastbound business. it has kept the
passenger business on a very even keel ana
has done much to keep the general rate
situation in better condition than was
ever known under the old regime. The
statement, therefore, of the Wall Street
News that the association has gone to
pieces since the argument OF the appeal
before the supreme court. is not justified
BY the actual facts
