Confederation Passenger Case.

Arguments in the proposed increase
of rates for passenger traffic on West
ern railroads We're concluded yesterday
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
Clifford Thorne. of the Iowa Railway
Commission, and A. E. Helm, counsel for
the Kansas Public Utilities Commission,
spoke for the maintenance of rates as
at present The principal speaker for
the railroads was c. c. Wright, counsel
for the Chicago and Northwestern. He
declarded that two-cent passenger rates
will bankrupt the roads.
The other side argued that all rail-
roads were getting fair return on
their investment for the service of carry
ing passengers at the present rate ex-
cept such roads as are mismanaged.
And the anti-railroad representation de-
clarded that it was not right to compel
the public to pay for bad Management.

j, 5, EYES new
STEEL merger
Attorney General Says the
Schwab-Corey Plan Is Un-
der Closest Scrutiny -
AWAITS FINAL DECISION
MI. Gregory Points Out that If Ex-
istins Combine Is Legal Proposed
One Would Be Also.

Attorney General Gregory issued a
statement yesterday serving notice that
he will scrutinize very carefully the
formation of mergers in the steel in
dustry. such as are said to be under
consideration by Mr.. Schwab and Mr.
Corey. 1t was intimated that the gov
ernment would proceed against COM
binations similar to the United States
Steel Corporation under the Sherman
antitrust act. unless the Supreme
Court sustains the decision of the
United States District Court Of the dis
trict of New Jersey. holding that this
corporation is not a combination in
restraint of trade.
The Attorney General pointed out
that If thes existing steel combination
ton can properly be made against the
building up of similar combines. He
directed attention, however. to the fact
that the decision of the New Jersey
circuit judges in the steel case involves
a construction of the Sherman law in
conflict with that of another circuit
court set forth in the decision on the
Harvester case.
The objection of the Attorney Cen
mated in yesterdays statement. has to
do with his belief that the United
States Steel Corporation unites one
half of the competitive units in the
steel trade.
Mr.. Gregory. Statement.
Reports have been in circulation to
the effect that Mr.. Corey was looking
into the possibilities of securing con-
troll of a number Of small steel plants
in the hope of establishing new
merger. using the Midvale company as
a nucleus. 1t has been reported re-
peatedly that both men would seek the
advice of the Federal Trade Commits
sion and the Attorney General as to
the legality of their plans before enter
ing into any definite arrangements. Ap-
parently no formal inquiries have been
submitted to either the commission or
the Department of Justice. however.
Here is the Attorney Generals state
ment:
1T cannot be questioned that il it was
la wful to unite through the United States
Steel Corporation one-half of the COM
petitive units in the steel trade, the other
half would also have the right to COM
bine. And of course. what could be done
in the steel trade could be done in every
other branch of trade. thus virtually put
ting an end to competition.
But the decision of the circuit judges
of the Third circuit in the steel case is
not yet the established law. 1t is be
cause of just such consequences that the
government is appealing from that deCi-
sion. Besides, in the Harvester case a
court of equal rank took very different
view of the law.
The question is now pending before
the Supreme Court In the meantime. at
tempts to combine able and efficient COM
petitors. affecting trade over wide area,
will be subjected to the closest scrutiny
by the Department of Justice

M4ndan, Jan. Ia. Three automo-
bles have gone through the ice in
the Missouri river during the. past
few days and warning is given that
the drive is now unsafe. Sunday
one car dropped through shell-ice
near the east side ferry landing.
Had it not been for the lower layer.
the auto would he down twenty feet
today. Monday morning another
car went through in thessame place
and last evening still another auto
figured in similar accident. While
the ice is plenty thick enough in
most places. the fact that the river
rises and falls, and thus breaks up
tine ice. makes travel for heavy au-
tOmoblles dangerous.

Of the state land department of
Bismarck, IS spending some time in
this county checking up the institu-
ton Isnd that have been sold.
There are very large number of
contracts here in Cavalier county,
and quite few have failed to make
up the interest payments on the
state land. On these contracts, the
farmers nave found that it saves
them money to pay everything else
before making payments on the
school land contracts. These lands
are the source of revenue for num-
Der of the state institutions and as
nearly all of them are short of
| funds they find it necessary to insist
on more prompt payments on some
of the institution lands.
