FIGHT THE LUMBER RATES.
Suit Has Been Begun Against the Hill
and Hartman Lines.

Portland, Oct. 10.-Suit has been
filed in the United States circuit court
by the Oregon and Washington Lum-
Der Manufacturing association against
the Hill and Hartman lines asking
for an injunction restraining the rail-
roads from putting into execution the
advanced tariffs on eastern lumber
shipments from this coast Novem-
Der 1.
Judge WoIverton entered an order
citing the railroad company to ap-
pear in court October %, and show
cause why an injunction should not be
issued. The complaints allege a con-
spiracy in restraint of trade forbidden
by the federal laws; that the new
rates are discriminatory against the
northwest lumber men and in favor of
middle western and southern states;
also net earnings of the Hill and Har-
rimau lines have been steadily increas-
ing under the present lumber rates
and that unless enjoined from putting
the rates into effect, the consequence
will be to ruin the lumber industry on
the Pacific coast
The design of the suit is to keep the
railroad companies from putting the
new rates into effect until the inter-
state commerce commission has an
opportunity to hold a hearing on the
justice of the advance and render a
decision on the merits.

ALTON FINE IS VALID.
Circuit Court of Appeals Upholds
Judge Lands.

Chicago, Oct. 10.-Judges Grosscup,
Baker and Seaman in the United
States circuit court of appeals in an
opinion delivered yesterday overruled
a petition of the Chicago & Alton
Railroad company for a rehearing on
its appeal from the $4,000 fine i'm
posed by Judge Lands a little more
than a year ago for rebating. The
railroad company was fined $4,000
and J. n. Faithorn. former vice presi-
dent, and F. A. Wann, former general
freight agent, $4,000 each on a
charge of having granted rebates to
the packing firm of Schwartzschild &
Sulzberger company in violation of
the Elkins law. The railroad COM
pany's defense in the trial of the re-
bate case was that its payments to the
packing company were for use OF that
company'S industrial tracks Judge
Grosscup, in giving the opinion on the
petition for a rehearing, informed the
petitioner that more careful reading
of a former opinion by himself, last
spring when Judge lands action was
sustained, would show that the pres
ent petition was inconsistent.
