It would be an impeachable acs of the railroad commission not to enforce these acts if there was not an order to restrain such by some court of competent Jurisdiction With these facts clear to him and feeling that the law is plain that no man is to be injured un- justly. he would issue the order in effect as asked
 With that the court recessed to the afternoon at which time the lawyers re- assembled and the order was prepared. There was a provision made for bond and also some workings of the rebate law to the effect that none of the roads should be allowed to raise any rates pending the present litigation.

It was found that the bill prepared by the railroad attorneys was sufficient, save with the changes @lggested.
 After the work had been done the at- torneys and railroad men sat about and talked over the suits and the condi- tions generally and altogether spent a pleasant half hour.
