Another Call For Help.

The Santa Fe sent word to Yard
master Nudge of the Ell Peso yards to
send four swi chmen to Albuquerque
as soon as possible. Mr.. Nudge Sc
cured the necessary number in short
order and prepared them to leave on
the passenger yesterday morning.
Regard ing the rush of work on the
Santa Fe north of here, gentleman
10 from Las Vegas yesterday said:
"Every car and engine belonging t.
The santa Fe out of Albuquerque and
Las Vegas are on the move. and IL Is
said that if they bad double the pres
ent number Of cars and engines they
could easily find use for them. The
business, in fact, is too heavy
for the good of the rollip
stock. They have no time in which to
properly attend to them. The road
has never before experienced such
rush and the exact cause of il
is as much of a mystery to the officials
as il is to The outside world
They are handling the rush with the
greatest care and no &C ident OF any
importance has happened since sthe
rush began. l do not look for the San

The only alternative is the adoption oil
"A resolution by the board OF directors
OF any company providing for a change

cerr ed and the service of copy there

1.-The natural effect of the two agree

and differences between them are not
sufficiently important to call Tor dl'-

congress is without power to prohibit

validates the act in question.
.sThe business of a railroad is of a
public nature and in performing it t. e
carrier Is also performing TO a certain
extent function of cover ment which
requires them to perform the service
upon equal terms to all. This public
service, that of transportation OF pas

DECLARED ILLEGAL.
The Joint Traffic Association Loses
the Case in the Supreme Court.

On October - the United States
supreme court decided the Joint Trsf-
ic Association railway case In favor
of tn United States and against the
railw1ys.
Thecase il considered one of the
most important that has ever come be-
fore the supreme court not only TO
railways, but to the general public
and b cause of the vast railway pro-
perlies represented by the traffic asso-
citation. The association was formed
on Nov. 10, 1895, by thtrty-one rant
wave representing the great trunk
lines and their net work OF branches.
The purpose of the association, as stat
ed 10 articles OF agreement, was 10
"estohlish aad maintain REASONABLE

tious 90 state aud Interstate traffic
A similar association on a smaller
scale was established among south
ives ,ern roads known Is the Transmits
souri, association. These associations
were soon attacked in the court on the
ground they were in violation OF the
Shertuau anti trust law and also OF the
inters,ate commerce law. The Trans
missouri case first reached the United
States supreme court, where in u not
able opinion the court held that the
associa' ion was Illegal, being In effect

antitrust law
Soon after this decision Justice Field
gave place 10 Justice McKenna.
Although the Missouri case was con-
sidered somewhat of a test vet the joint
traffic association prepared TO make a
stubborn contest in support OF its ASSOC
citation. The proceedings were begun
on Jan :. 1896, in the United States
circuit court for the southern district
o. New York. the Uoited ates being
compla uant and the attorney general
directing its course. The case went
against the government in the lower
courts and the court ofappes's con firm
ed the dismissal. It was appealed 70
the United States supreme court.
The main contention OF the govern
ment was that the traffic agreement IL a
comb nation 10 prevent competition,

thus constituting u contract in restraint
Of trade or commerce. The answ er of
the association main tain ed the lie yality
of the agreement of the ground that
the vast needs of commerce required
Joint action aud that such action in

vents u secret aud unjust discr NINA

Justice Pecknam anpuuuced the de-
cisiou. de said that the court could
distinguish no difference between this
case and that Of the TransmisSouri
case, decided year ago, which was
decided - Iiu-t the railroads. He said

Under the decision the tindiugs in

Ia the Joint traffic opinion Justice
Peckham gives a history of the early
stages of the litigation and the mair
issues between the government and the
assoc alton.
After pointing out the similarity De

was taken TO the hospital to die. The
missing men are doub;'e all d al No
trace can be found of any OF them
and as they were employed at the top
OF the elevator their chances for escape
were but slight.
The heat became so intense that TWEEN

building were added to the loss. The
fire department had hard struggle TO
save other elevators and property. The
bridge across the Maumee river was
on fire several times. but outside the
loss of the elevators the damage is
slight. Mr.. Paddock. member of the
firm owning the plant, said that there
was between 100000 and 600 900 bushels
Of grain in storage at the time, the
most Of II being winter wheat.
A late revision of the fire loss shows
that the burned building and contents
are valued at $55O,0OO. The damage to
adjoining property is $4,000. The insur-
ance is $4,000 on the building and the
grain is covered with $25S. 600 insurance.
