Asks Dismissal Of
Antitrust Action
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LINCOLN, Nebr., Jan. 2. The
Western Association OF Railway
Executives today asked dismissal Of
the Governments antitrust suit,
contending that a 1912 law sus-
pended antitrust prosecution of In
duStrial activities deemed necessary
to win the war
A motion filed in United States
District Court challenged the JUS
tice Departments right to bring the
civil suit, alleging that, because of
the 1912 law, the complaint fails
to state claim upon which relief
can be granted and that the court
lis without jurisdiction
The Governments complaint had
charged that combination of pri-
vate financial, industrial and rail-
road interests have acted colluSively
to maintain noncompetitive rates
for transportation and to prevent
and retard improvements in rail-
road services and facilities In the
Western part of the United States.
Named defendants in the Gov
ernment's suit, filed here last Au-
gust, were the Association of Amer
ican Railroads, its officers and di-
rectors, the Western Association of
Railway Executives and its officers,
j. p. Morgan g. Co., Inc; Kuhn,
Loeb & Co.. Al Western railroads
and their chief executives and more
than score other individuals.
Counsel for the Western railroads
alleged that the law passed by Con-
gress June IL, 1912, prohibits civil
antitrust prosecutions involving ac-
tivities which the War Production
Boards chairman has certified are
requisite to the prosecution of the
war"
They contended that railroads
were placed in this category March
20. l943. by Donald M. Nelson, for
mer WPB chairman.
In this certificate, counsel alleged,
Mr.. Nelson advised Attorney Gen.
eral Francis Biddle that he (Mr.
Nelson) approved of joint action by
the railroads through rate bureaus.
rate conferences or other similar
organizations for the initiation and
establishment of common carrier
and freight forwarder rates, fares
and charges and carrier and for
warder regulations and pactices, y

Early Ruling Expected
From vinson on Issue
|0f Live Cattle Prices
Ey the Associated press.

Ey the Associated Press.
An early decision on whether
price ceilings will be set for live
cattle was forecast today as Stabil-
ization Director Vinson studied pro
and con arguments.
Another vigorous protest against
the proposed step was laid before
him yesterday by a delegation of
producers and feeders, accompanied
by group of farm State Senator'S
On the other side, the Office of
Price Administration and New
York area meat retailers are urging
adoption of the program as the
only way to check what~they regard
as serious black market situation.
Spokesman for the cattlemen told
reporters that ION the hoof" CELL
ings will make our present beef
black market look like a sideshow.
Fears Cut in Production.
In a statement submitted to Mr..
Vinson, Paul Thompson, Clinton
GndD feeder, opposed the proposed
$l750 per hundredweight fiat CELL
ing as measure which would cut
beef production.
Pointing out that until recently
choice cattle sold for as high as
$3.50 hundred pounds, Mr.
Thompson said OPA's plans for
lower ceiling would discourage feed
ing to heavyweight with resulting
loss of beef tonnage"
"OPA definitely has been unable
to enforce present regulations at
wholesale and retail levels" Mr..
Thompson said. Failing in that,
they now propose unenforcable reg
ulations at the cattle level-pushing
the black market into field where
it will spread over the country"
Retailers Position.
OPA and New York area retailers
contend black market has de-
veloped at wholesale and retail be-
cause there are no ceilings on live
cattle.
P. o. Wilson, secretary of the
Joint Livestock Committe, said that
under the OPA program controls
would be imposed as to the type,
grade and number of cattle which
could be killed by slaughterers
These restrictions, he said, amount
to allocation-a measure opposed by
cattlemen-and would cause pro-
cessors to pay we'll under maximum
prices even though they could afford
to pay full prices"
