RAILWAYS SCORE IN MISSoJ r :
Secure Temporary Injunction as to
Maximum Freight Rate Law.


Maximum Freight Rate Law.
Judge Smith Mcpherson of Red Oak,
Iowa, in the United States District Court
in Kansas City, issued a temporary in
junction restraining the State Railway
and Warehouse Commissioners of Mis-
souri, and the Attorney-General of the
State from enforcing the maximum
freight-rate law which went into effect
June 16 and against three Kansas City
shippers, preventing the latter from
claiming penalties under the law. The
injunction was granted at the request OF
eighteen railways doing business in Mis-
souri,, who brought suit against the State
officials on the ground that the rates pro-
vided in the new law are prohibitive and
would amount to the confscation of their
property. The suit against the three
Kansas City shippers is intended to COW
er the shippers of the State as a class
and the order of the court aginst them
viii restrain them from bringing action
against the railways under the law. The
railroads will seek to have the injunction
made permanent
