THE FIGHT AGAINST THE RAIL
ROADS.

There will be a conference at the

ident and representatives of the West
ern trunk line railways, against which
meaning Mr.. Wickersham under the
sherman antitrust act. These rail-
roads have found ii necessary to in
crease their freight rates in order
that they may be able to meet their
fixed charges They have all agreed
L.snt such increase is absolutely neces-
sary. Agreement was necessary. not
to destroy competition, as Wickersham
alleged. but to preserve such sta
bility in the transportation service go
would enable tho railroads to meet
their obligations and safeguard the
public from that uncertainty in the
movement of fgeights which would
result in panic.
The railroads have always made
their rates by such agreement. and
with the knowledge t not with the
express sanction. of the Federal au-
thorities. There has been nothing
hidden or secret about it. The Inter
state Commerce Commission has
known ii all along, and has approved
4, specifically in the case of certain
goods intended for foreign shipment.
There is no other way in which the
rates could be made. and there has
been no serious complaint against
them UP to this time, If they could
be kept below the actual cost of the
service performed there would be no
complaint now. AS matter of fact,
the rates are lower than the rates IN
