Railroad Argue.

The railroad presidents In confer
ence with Mr. Taft put up lengthy
argument. They claimed they had
been misrepresented as to there hay
ing been anything clandestine about
their agreeing upon or filing the new
rates. They claimed they had sent
written notices to the shippers and
even had the receipts of certain of
the shippers who had denied ever hav-
ing received such notices. Finally,
they declared that the increased rates
had been filed In the same manner as
the Interstate commerce commission
had approved of the last 10 years. The
presidents told Mr.. Taft incidentally
that they had been advised by counsel
that the governments injunction silt
could not be sustained The president
replied he was willing To chance that
and that he thought the best way out
for the railroads was for them to with
draw their increases II was then that
the settlement was reached.
