company, the Erie railroad, the Chi
cago Rock Island & Pacific Railway
company. the St. Louis & San Fran
cisco Railroad company. the Wiscon-
sin Central company. the Chicago &
Alton Railway company and the Pabst
Brewing company.
The decision stripped of legal verbi-
age is in part as follows:
The charges in the petition are sub
stantiaIIy these:
That the brewing company organiz
ed the refrigerator company, is the
beneficial owner of the refrigerator
company stock and thereby indirectly
receives the moneys paid by the rail-
road companies to the refrigerator
company on account of beer shipments.
That the refrigerator company tapart
from the charge that It was dummy
of the brewing company was organized
as a device for the purpose of exact
ing large proportion of the freight
moneys for interstate and foreign
shipment controlled by it. that 1t nolds
contracts from the brewing company
and other owners of goods whereby It
is given executive control of shipments
to competitive points; that it Withholds
such traffic from railroad companies
which refused to return to it from one
tenth to one-eighth of the freight mon
eys. That the railroad companies have
paid to the refrigerator company from
one-tenth TO one-eighth Of the freight
moneys on all traffic controlled by the
refrigerator companies.
The majority Of the brewing com
pany stock is owned by persons who
have no interest in the refrigerator
company The stock Of the refrigera-
tor company was bought by the hold
ers with their own money and in their
own interest The majority of 1t is
owned by persons who also own brew
ing company stock But the brewing
company pays its freight in full, re-
ceives no rebate. and is not a party to
the contract between the refrigerator
and the railroad companies. Under the
evidence the most that can fairly be
said of the relations between the brew
ing company and the refrigerator COM
pany is that the former gave the con
vor and to enable it to profit thereby
if il could. For failure of proof the
charges against the brewing company
are dismissed.
Contention is made that equity jur-

isdiction does not inherently extend and
can not by congress be extended to re-
straining the commission Of crimes and
misdemeanors.
THAT the infraction Of the COM
plainants rights may also constitute
crime is no reason for denying relief.
If complainant's rights can not be
adequately protected elsewhere and If
decree and writ to be enforcea bic can
be framed no court of equity should
acknowledge itself wanting in the pri-
mary power of devising decrease and
write to meet to the needs of the situ-
alton
If a person whose business was be-
ing undermined and ruined through ad-
vantages unlawfully given to a COM
petitOr should seek relief in equity,
the objection that property right was
not involved would be wanting. Be
cause the persons affected are numer-
GUS and widely separated because their
injuries severally may be small, and
because the United States had the reg
ulation of interstate and foreign COM
merce, in our opinion congress very
clearly had the power to authorize
equity proceedings with the United
States as complainant for the protec-
ton of all persons who would be injur-
ed by the unlawful practices.
Tt is evident that the railroad COM
panies in acceding to the demands Of
the refrigerator company, have % fall
ed strictly to observe the published
tariffs and {2) granted concessions
whereby they received a less rate than
that named in the published tariffs.
1T matters not that the particular
practice herein disclosed is not describ-
ed in the act The inhibition of any
device whatever that accomplishes the
condemned results is a ban upon in
tention in this field.
