THE RAILROADS
ARE NOW GOOD

ST. PAUL, Mimi, June N.-Seven
railroads operating in Minnesota to-
night agreed TO abide by the terms OF
recent decisions by the United States
Supreme Court in the Minnesota rate
cases and announced ment was made
that the new rates probably would be
placed in effect by July 10. and that
refunds OF o~vercharges would be
made in cases where proper proof OF
such overcharges were produced.
A statement was issued tonight
telling of the agreement and carrying
the signatures Of the seven railroads.
The statement was not signed by
the Rock Island, nor by the Great
Western, the roads having claimed
that their earnings were on a par with
those of the Minneapolis & St. Louis
road and that the new rates would
be c~onfiscatory. They were repre-
scented at the meeting however.

as his secret. He was willing to ad-
