that the defendants have combined and

periodical secret meetings throughout

Unlawful Rebates.
.(Cl. In the tenth paragraph OF the
petition it appears that the defendants,
with intent to monopolize interstate
commerce and to prevent competition
therein are engaged in the common
practice of obtaining unlawful rates or
rebates for transportation from common
carriers, which they subsequently snare
or poll among themselves, and that Their
scheme eortempiates not only the pool
ing of these unlawful rates. but the ex-
clusion of all outside competitors from
obtaining them. It is claimed by coun-
sci that such acts are not wrongful.
Counsel have overlooked section IL or
the interstate commerce law of 1887, by
which it is made an offense, PUNISH

to discriminate in his favor against
other shippers in the transportation oil

to suppress competition between 1hen-
