FREIGHT RATE

,
Washington, May 31:-President
Taft is reported, this afternoon, to
have instructed Attorney General
Wickersham to bring suit against
twenty-five western railroads today
to restrain them from putting into
effect increased rates tomorrow
morning.
The attorney general visited the
senate this afternoon to inform the
statesmen that they need not fear as
to the courage and resource of the
department of justice in the face OF
the railroad octopus. 1t was said
that he assured the senators that
suits to head off the rate increases
would be begun at Chicago before
sundown this evening
This action was taken following
the demand of western shippers that
Attorney General Wickersham take
some action to cut the proposed
wholesale increase in freight rates.
The demand was laid before Presi-
dent Taft by the attorney general
In the senate today Senator La
Toilette introduced a resolution re-
citing that the uniform advance in
freight rates affected tomorrow was
an evidence of combination in re-
straint of trade, and calling upon
Attorney General Wickersham to
prevent the enforcement of the in
creases.
Senator Elkins, republican, of
West Virginia, objected to the i'm
mediate consideration OF the resolu-
ton, saying that it would require too
much debate. The chairman held
with Senator Elkins, who moved to
take up the railroad bill, and then
yielded to Senator Owen, who made
speech on the direct election OF
senators. La Toilette protested
vainly.
