Agreement Necessary

If any agreement at all is admitted
the railroads will contepd that it is
legal and necessary, because of present
terests of the general public.
That the railroads are members of the
western trunk line committee, an official
said, does not indicate they are in an
agreement. because the schedule of
rates, promulgated by the western trunk
line committee. is not binding on the
defendant members without their ex-
press consent.

quarters that the enjoil1ed rates might
have been collected at distant points
