PROPOSED RATE RAISE
WOULD VIOLATE LAW, SAID

New York, July 17.-A special &c
the Tribune from Washington says:
In the opinion of Judson c. Glenn
ents, a member Of the interstate com
merce commission the proposed gem
eral increase Of freight rates. discuss
ed in New York by the directors of
many of the eastern lines in the trunk
line system would constitute a viola
tion of the Sherman antitrust law
and would render all the railroads
concerned liable to severe penalties.
Mr.. Clements explained that the in
terstate commerce commission as a
commission Is not at all interested in
the Sherman antitrust law, the eX-
ecution of which is entrusted to the
department of justice but he express
ed his opinion as a lawyer and cited a
recent instance whore the supreme
court had so decided.
"As a lawyer" he said, II am will
ing to hazard the opinion that such an
increase I'm rates as was contemplated
by the eastern railroads at their meet
ing yesterday in New York would be
in direct violation of the antitrust
law.
wien pIdctlCdtiA an tHe eastern
roads. and for that matter ali the
roads of the country, by a mutual
agreement raise rates. it is to my
mind, a procedure which brings them
under that clause of the antitrust law
which prevents pooling and illegal
combinations.
Whether or not there is any ne
cessity now for an increase of rates
am not prepared to say. II the
Increase should come the commission
viii have ample time to decide that
point. I am convinced, however. that
the railroads win give the antitrust
law careful consideration before they
attempt a general increase of rates
"A similar case came up in Georgia
some time ago during some lumber
dealings Federal Judge Speer decid
ed that the railroads had formed an
Illegal combination in Increasing the
rates and the supreme court AFFIRMED
the decision"
