RAILROADS IN COURT.

RAILROADS IN COURT.
In March last there were Instituted by
the government. in the United States cir
cult court at Chicago, six suits In equity
against offending railroad companies
and, simultaneously. eight additional suits
were begun against other railroads at
Kansas City
In each Instance temporary injunctions
were granted, which are still I'm force. re-
straining the defendant railroads from
paying any rebates or granting any pref
erences whatever 20 any shipper 20 that
all persons should stand on an even foot
ing In respect or transportation over the
enjoined roads
Another direction I'm which kindred ef-
fort has been made 10 enforce the law
and prevent the abuse OF monopoly de-
serves word Of comment. The cotton
interests OF the South. growers. buyers
and shippers, complained OF the hard
ships and injury suffered by them from
the methods OF the railroads in that sec
tion In handling and transporting the
cotton output
These carriers by combined action de-
MED the right OF routing 10 the shippers
that is 10 say, the right OF the shipper
10 prescribe over what route his goods
other determined the lines which should
move this important product and the
percentage OF total shipments which each
line should transport.
In other words. there was a pooling ar
rangement between the railroads In re-
spect cf this traffic. I'm district violation
OF the Federal statute.
As the result of information secured
with much difficulty. respecting this for
hidden practice a number OF indictments
were obtained against the offending
roads and their principal traffic officers.
AT first the indicted carriers showed an
intention 10 continue their unlawful COM
bination. and steps were taken by the de-
partment 10 institute similar prosecu-
tions against the same and other carriers
for like misconduct at other points In the
cotton section. Since that time, however,
the roads have receded from their posi-
tion They now accord 10 shippers the
right 10 route their traffic. and avow their
purpose strictly 20 observe the law.
When the department came into pos
session OF these facts a suit In equity
was at once begun TO restrain the opera
tion OF the proposed merger and to re-
store the independence OF these trans
continental railroads as competing lines.
which suit is now pending.
