GOVERNMENT TO MAKE NO
 INCREASE IN FREIGHT RATES

Washington, Oct. 7.-The railroad administration will make no in crease in freight rates before return of the railroads to private ownership January 1.
 Director General Hines wrote T. De Witt Cuyler, chairman of the railway executives, today that it would be impossible for the govern ment to establish any general read lustment CT raIes," because earnings O -lI- r ccS under the abl,ral..l conditions prevailing in the early part of this year did not afford fair test of income.

HEARD BEFORE
 THE SUPREME COURT

! Washington, Oct. I'm accordance i with the governments announced III : | tention of reSuming the prosecution oI | the antitrust cases pending in the supreme court now that the war has 1 ended arguments were heard today ln 1 appeals brought in suits instituted oy 1 the government under the Sherman act
 against the alleged anthracite coal 1 trust and the United States Steel cor poration. The hearing of the coal cases | was concluded. but owing to additional
 time being granted both sides for ar gument, the steel cases will not be mr. ished until Friday.
 Before argument sin these two cases
 were begun. the court at the request Of Solicitor General King consented to postpone temporarily the hearing or arguments in government suits asalnst the Eastman Kodak company and the Associated Bill Posters and Distribu- tors union. These are expected to be herad possibly late this fall Except for the order of the federal district court calling for the severance of the Central Railroad of New Jersey
 from Reading interests. the govern ment lost both it's cases in the lower
 court against the Reading Holding
 corporation, the Lehigh Valley Rail- road company and the United States Steel corporation and their subs1- aries. All the cases have been ar eued before in the supreme court so the Lehigh case was submitted to the
 
 viously filed by both sides. The other arguments were virtually repetitions Of those already presented.
 In asking for the dissolution of the Reading company. Solicitor General King argued that the evidence showed that organiza ton with it's subsidiaries was controlled by interlocking direc- toratcs and had monopoly in anthra- cite coal. These contentious were de- nied by Jackson S. Reynolds and Rob- ert w. De Forest, both of New York, representing the Reading company, who also asserted that the separation of the Central Railroad of New Jersey from Reading interests was not to the
 public interest. The railroad, they asserted, was not competitive with the Reading railroad but instead comple- mentary.
 Mir. Reynolds declared the Reading could not compete with coal companies operating in the Wyoming Valley sec tion of the anthracite region because it costs less Lu operate there and said as a result the Readings business had been reduced-a clear indication of absence Of a mon11oly. He argued tha tthe government had not proven all of it's a1lega tions and asked the court to consider the pending case. on the basis of the evidence produced.
 Arguments in the steel case were opened by Judge c. B. Ames, assistant to the attorney general. who asserted that the organizers of the steel cor operation had in mind restraint of trade and the enormous profits certain to come from the industry. He re- viewed the forma ton of the corpora tion, beginning with the orga niza ton of the American Steel and Wire com pany in 1893 bv the Morgan, Gary, Carnegie interests. He will resume his argument tomorrow. after which he will be followed bv R. V. Linda bury Of New York. C. A. Severance of St. Paul and David Reed of Pittsburgh. appear ing for the steel corpora ton.
