Railroad Cases.

Voluminous records In the case OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission
against the Southern Pacific, the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, the
Santa Fe Pacific and the Southern Cal
Nornia railway were hied In the Su-
preme Court Of the United States De
cember 27th.
The litigation is known as the citrus
fruit case, which was decided ad-
versely to the railroads by Judge Well
horn Of the Ninth circuit last Septem-
Der. The company then appealed to
the Supreme Court.
Shippers Of fruits from southern
California complained to the Interstate
Commerce Commission that the rail-
roads insisted they had the right to
route fruit shipments over eastern
roads of their own selection.
The commission decided that the
shippers had the right to select the
routes over which their shipments
would be made. The railroads also
were ordered to display to the public
their rates for the transportation Of
fruits. The Circuit Court sustained
these orders.

VIII Attack Paper Trust.

Attorney General Moody has given
out the following statement regarding
the suit instituted at st. Paul Decem-
ber 9th by the federal government
against the paper manufacturing COM
panies:
"On the complaint of many newspa-
per publishers, last spring, that COM
bination in the restraint of commerce
existed among manufacturers of paper
to control the distribution and sale of
their products among the states of the
Union. the department of justice be-
gan an investigation of that subject
and to further the department in that
respect the attorney general appointed
F. B. Kellogg of the st. Paul bar and
]. II. Beck Of the New York bar as
special attorneys to collect the evil
dence and make report thereon.
These gentlemen. after an exhaus-
tive examination of the matter, stimuli
taneously with that conducted by the
department Of justice, have reported
to the attorney general that in their
opinion the facts ascertained support
the complaint and justify, In the public
interests, the filing of a petition to en-
join the operations of the General Pa
per Company. corporation of Wiscon-
sin. which is the instrumentality
through which the alleged combination
to control the prices and distribution
OF those products in the western
states is conducted. In this opinion
the department of justice concurs.
The attorney general to-day direct
ed that petition be filed against the
Geperal Paper Company and the TWEEN
ty-four paper manufacturing companies
located in the states Of Minnesota.
Wisconsin and Michigan, which 1t rep
resents, to have such combination de-
clared to be an unlawful restraint upon
interstate commerce and monopoly.
The petition will be fled in the
United States Circuit Court for the
district of Minnesota as soon as the
necessary papers can be prepared"

Announcement was made at the War
Department recently of the names Of
various sea coast batteries on the At
lantic, Gulf and Pacific coasts. The
batteries are named after officers who
distinguished themselves in the Revo-

War with Mexico, the Civil War, the
War with Spain and the Philippine in
surrection.
President Gompers and Secretary
Morrison Of the American Federation
of Labor, called on Secretary Taft and
urged the employment of Porto Ricans
as far as possible in the construction
Of the Panama canal. The matter was
discussed at some length and Mr.. Com
pers will confer with Governor Win
throp of Porto Rico in New York City
next week.
Secretary Taft, who is eagrossed
with matters pertaining to the Philip
pines, had conference with the Pres
fdent regarding questions relating to
the archipelago. The secretary desires
that the proposed reduction in the tar
III on Philippine sugar and tobacco
should be provided for at this session
Of Congress, and he is urging his Views
strongly with all members of Congress
to whom he has opportunity to talk.
He hopes to obtain rate on sugar and
tobacco imported from the Philippines
Of twenty-five per cent. of the regular
Dingley rate. He int:mated to-day that
negotiations had been initiated looking
to possible compromise on Philip
pine tariff rate, but it was too early
to predict what the result of the nego-
tiations might be.
Congress may economic on .ala.
ries, as the disposition now seems to
be, but there is one item in that line
where an increase can not be avoided.
The Senate now has one man doing
two mems work and getting only $1,000
In extra money therefor. Soon here
after there will be two men to do the
same work, and 1t will cost the govern
ment $1,000 more than at present AS
will be readily OWNED, the present
saving is in the vice presidents office.
Senator Frye, the president pro tenn
pore. is the man doing double work.
He receives therefor his salary Of So
600 annually as senator and $4,000 ad-
dftonal for being president pro tem-
pore. But the legislative bill, which
the House is considering, carries an
item OF $4,000 for the new vice pres
ident, which will become available
March 4th next So 1t is that Senator
Frye will lose $1,000 annually and the
government will be at an extra annual
expense of 5000.
