st. Joseph, Mo.-One death by
asphyxiation, the dismissal of all
schools heated with natural gas and
cold meals, as the result of no fuel,
was the result Monday of the break

RAILROADS GAIN A VICTORY
SECURE INJUNCTION TO PREVENT
REDUCTION IN RATES.
Three Federal Judges Issue an Order
to the Interstate Commerce
Commission.

Chicago, Ill.-Federal Judges Gross
cup, Seaman and Baker sitting in
the United States circuit court Fri
day issued a decree restraining the in
terstate commerce commission from
enforcing an order effective November
10, to railroads in the Missouri river
territory to reduce their rates nine
cents a hundred pounds on first class
freight from the Atlantic seaboard and
involving also differentials all through
the classification.
Washington, d. C.-Considerable
surprise was expressed by officials of
the interstate commerce commission
on receipt of information that the
United States circuit court at Chicago
had granted even a temporary injunc-
tion in what is known as the Missouri
rate case. The complaint from which
the order of the committee originated.
developed into one of the most import
ant cases with which the commission
has had TO deal in the past year. 1t
was brought by firms in Kansas City
against the Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific Railway Co., and practically all
of the railways doing business between
Atlantic seaboard points and Kansas
City. In effect, the complaint was that
the rates on class commodities be-
tween Atlantic seaboard points and
Kansas City were too high and that
they Disseminated against Kansas
City as compared with many other
points in the west and northwest.
