transportation and commerce.
The second part OF the petition
states that on December 8, 1906, the
defendants, with the exception OF Ave
roads named below, not content with
the usual rates and charges for which
they were accustomed to carry
freight. but intending to monopolize
the transportation traffic, trade and
commerce between the different
states, did combine, confederate. con-
spire and unlawfully agree to organ
lie and become members in the west
ern trunk line commission with the
object of making said trunk line a
means for suppressing all competi-
tion between said defendants, in the
said interstate transportation. trade
and commerce"
Continuing the petition says since
the date mentioned the Western
Trunk Line committee, unincorporat-
ed. with headquarters in Chicago, is
the instrument by means OF which
freight charges now being fixed and
that the charges now being imposed
are the same by all the defendants
and are SO made by agreement.
The following is the method by
which the petition alleges rates are
fixed by the Western Trunk Line
committee:
Each OF the defendants is a mem

mittee. There is freight commit
tee, composed of the traffic manag-
ers of general freight agents OF each
of the defendants. This committee
meets once every month. Whenever
any defendant contemplates a change
in any rates, rules or regulations,
the officer or official representing
such defendant on such committee
suggests such change to the chair
man of the committee. who then
dockets the same for consideration

ton was granted on a petition filed

that the advance in rates was arrived
at by the defendants by agreement
in violation of the Sherman anti
trust act.
The petition says unless such re-
straining order were issued, the rate
advances would become effective at
midnight to the great injury Of the
people of the United States.
The petition upon which the in
junction was issued was presented to
Judge Dyer by Edward p. Grovenor,
special assistant to the attorney gem
eral, and by Frederick N. Judson, Of
