WANT TO COMBINE.
Mr.. Hartman Of the Three Pacific
Tells What the Railroads Want.

Mr.. Hartman Of the Three Pacifics
Tells What the Railroads Want,
When Mr.. Hartman was asked for. a
solution Of the national problem, he
said:
1--WE want the Sherman antitrust
law repealed SO far as it relates to the
railroads I believe 1t was not in
tended that its provisions should em-
brace the railroads. 1t was so asserted
at the time the measure was under
discussion prior to its enactment. In
the Transmissouri case tried under
the Sherman antitrust law, 1t was
finally held that all agreements be-
tween railroads were in restraint of
trade. What the railroads desire is
that they be allowed to make agree
ments under the regulation and super
vision of the government. This would
allow the railroads to do an interstate
commerce business.
eff reasonable rates and agreements,
approved under the proper authorities
of the national government, could be
inaugurated, then legislation by states
so far as it related to interstate traf-
fic might become null and void. We
believe that if the national govern
ment should approve OUR rates as be-
ing reasonable, the action would be
reflected in the state Legislatures"
