GOVERNMENT
DROPS R.R.
SUIT

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 27.-On
motion of United States District
Attorney Houts the government
suit to enjoin % western rail-
roads from raising their freight
rates was dismissed today.
The action of the government in
asking that the suit be withdrawn
Is a result of an agreement reach
ed at conference between Pres
ident Taft and the presidents of a
number of railroads shorty before
the rate bill was pissed.
The injunction restraining the
railroads was granted at Hanni-
bal, Mo.
The government agreed to drop
the suit as the rate bill clause
gives the interstate commerce
commission power to regulate
rates.
The rates have been withdrawn
and will be re-filed by the rail-
roads and will be investigated by
the commission. The dismissal
of the suits by the government to-
day was merely the last step in
carrying out the agreement that
had been made.
