hours advanced, until by o'clock the
streets were as lively and thronged as
they are at 8 o'clock on ordinary days.
All had the one meeting place, the Union

AS soon as the train stopped there was
mad rush for the platforms of the cars,

soldiers crowded out and into the arms Of
their friends. After a year and half the
boys were home. Most affecting were the
greetings. ii

coursed down the cheeks of the returned

Lumbermen are about to test the

Trusts and Railway Rates

Aldace F. Walker, chairman of the
board of directors of the Santa Fe has
an article on antitrust legislation
in the May Forum in which he natural
" presents the railroad view. He also
states the attitude of certain shippers.
He says
Another sfde-issue growing out of
the forma ton of 1nuItitudinous trusts is
their effect in respect to Determinations
in railroad rates The suppression Of
every unjust discrimination of this
character has long and properly been
regarded as the most important deSid-
eTatum connected with railway man
agement; and the greatest difficulty in
the way of the accom- mplishment of this
at the present time arises from the
power possessed by large shippers to
make or mar the prosperity of railway
lines. through the diversion of their
traffic and through the unscrupulOus
use Of this power, in order to obtain
iIegitirnate concessions and unreason-
able advantages in the shipment of
their goods. Every trust which is or
ganized increases this difficulty by en-
Iarging the volume of traffic cOntrOII-
able by a single authority.
1t has become a frequent statement
that the trusts have the railroads bv
the throat; and neither the fact nor its
importance can be denied Yet even
this difficulty may in time be surmOunt-
ed. 1t might be accomplished by
Iegahzing that class OF contracts be
