RATMTTIi CASES

GOVERXSIEVT ASKS ijuctiox AGAINST FOl'RTCKX HAI LWA YS, Charclnjr Them ivlth Violating the Sherman AntUTrait nd Inler-tnte-Comnierce Act.. ARGUMENTS OF COUNSEL J. 31. DICKINSON IX IICIIALF OF THE RAILROAD COMI'AMCS. Frequent Interruption by Judge Grosacnp Several Points DiMcuaaed by District Attorney Ilethen. CHICAGO, Dec. 15. Argument for temporary injunction restraining fourteen railroads from cutting rates In violation of the Sherman and interstate-commerce acts was begun In the United States Court of Appeals to-day, Judge Grosscup, of Chicago, and Judge Phillips, of Kansas City, sitting en banc. Eight of the cases were brought before Judge Phillips on March Zl, when a bill was presented by the government at the Instance of the Interstate-commerce Commission and a temporary restraining order entered without argument. A similar bill was brought before Judge Grosscup against the other six roads and a like order entered. The roads against whom the Injunction is asked are the Michigan Central, the Pittsburg & Fort Wayne, the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis, the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern, the Illinois Central, the Chicago & Northwestern, all affected by Judge Grosscup's order; the Chicago & Alton, the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, the Chicago Great Western, the Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe, the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, the Chicago, Burlington Quincy, the Missouri Pacific and the Wabash, all against which Judge Phillips's order was operative. Special Attorney W. A. J3ay presented the government's case, while Attorneys J. M. Dickinson, of the Illinois Central, and Robert Dunlap, of the Santa Fe, argued for the railroads. Mr. Dickinson took up most of the afternoon. He first pointed out what he considered an important omission from the government's bill of complaint. He declared there was no allegation of discrimination as to the rates on packing-house products, while there were sucfT allegations as to grain rates. Mr. Dickinson declared that the method of procedure adopted by the government for securing an injunction was too radical. "If an injunction can issue on such allegations," he said, "then a new chapter in American jurisprudence must be written." The decision In the Debs case was fre quently referred to in the arguments by counsel for both sides. Mr. Dickinson declared that the ruling made in that case was extraordinary and suited to an extra ordinary crisis, but he insisted that the ap plication of the decisions should not be made commonplace. At one point Judge Grosscup Interrupted the argument by asking: "If the majority of shippers along a certain line of railway are discriminated against and driven out of business are not the hundreds of farmers along the same line injured by having to sell their products to only one pur chaser?" . . "That point seems to lie outside this bill," said Mr. Dickinson, "though I admit that the wrong ts sufficiently set forth as to grain shippers." "But who can assert' the right of all these farmers If not the government under the interstate-commerce act?" asked Judge Grosscup. They can assert It themselves," was the reply of Mr. Dickinson. "They can apply for an injunction against a repetition of the wrong." Is not that the very ground on which the government interferes? Does not the attorney general ask Injunctions here so that all these individuals will not be com pelled to bring separate actions?" InquiredJudge Grosscup. Mr. Dickinson did not answer this ques tion directly. "That is the question that will have to be adjudicated," he said. District Attorney Bethea talked for a short time before adjournment, answering briefly the points raised by the railroad attorneys. He laid stress on three principal propositions: That these cases come within the anti-trust law, that the Interstate-commerce law also applies, and that without any such acts of Congress a court of equity nas tne power to listen to and grant the prayer of the attorney general on behalf of the people. He said the court in these cases was asked simply to enjoin the defendants from departing from their published rates. The judges asked counsel for both sides to submit printed briefs of their arguments. This indicates that a decision will probably not be announced for - several weeks. SHOCK FOR ARBITERS. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) port of the bureau of statistics of labor and agriculture of Pennsylvania for the years 1872 and 1S73. showing that the organization of labor was made necessary by the previous organization of employers in the anthracite fields. Mr. Wolverton objected to .the reading because it was too remote and had no bearing upon the issues as they stood to-day. Mr. Lloyd was, however, permitted to proceed. He submitted five points in evidence, as follows: First The ownership by certain railways of extensive mining properties in the anthracite fields. Second That men who arc directors in one mining company are members of boards of directors of other railroad and mining companies. Third Joint resistance of the coal-carrying railroads to the individual operators building an Independent road to carry their product at reasonable rates. Fourtli The community of interests of the coal-carrying railroads and their mining companies. Fifth Constant acquisition of additional unmixed coal by the coal-carrying railroaus. ' QUESTION OF RATES. - This brought Mr. Lloyd up to the point where he wanted to show the exorbitant freight rates charged by the companies, and a specific objection was promptly entered by Simon II. Wolverton, counsel for the Reading Company. Two of the commissioners had temporarily left the courtroom, and Chairman Gray hesitated to make a ruling on the objection and asked Mr. Lloyd to read something else for the time being. At this suggestion Mr. Lloyd began to present evidence relating to the profits of the coal-carrying roads and the mining companies. He was Instantly stopped by Mr. Wolverton, and then ensued a long colloquy over the question whether the freight rates and the profits of the two classes of companies could be properly heard by the commission. Chairman Urnv did not think so. During this discussion Chairman Gray made his announcement that the committee was assuming that the operators could pay a fair wage, and that if employers cannot pay fair wages they ought to get out of the business. Mr. Lloyd seemed to be satisfied with this view, and in his remarks to the commission said he would go no further: that the principle thus laid down by the commission would be welcomed by the workingmen of the country and set a precedent. If that principle is carried out no employer in the country could when his profits were low decrease a workman's wages below the standard of fairness. Chairman Gray in a further discussion said that if the companies in presenting their side of the case make the point that they cannot afford to pay an Increase In wages thn the commission will hoar what the miners have to say on the subject. MITCHELL AT HIS OLD HOME. Mine 'Worker President Welcomed at Spring Valley. SPRING VALLEY, 111., Dec 15.-John Mitchell was given a warm welcome upon his return to his old homo to-day. Spring

Valley, In anticipation of his coming, put on its holiday attire and all classes of its citizens turned out to greet him. The day was observed as a general holiday and bu.-flneps was suspended In his honor. From near-by towns delegations began arriving at an early hour and Joined in the demonstration. It is estimated that 3,000 unionists and citizens took part in the parade, headed by a military band, that escorted the labor leader from the train through the principal business streets. The feature of the American programme was the presentation of two sets of resolutions, one by citizens and labor organizations of Spring Valley and the other by the Peru Trades and Labor Council. The former was engraved on a large silver tray, part of a set of five pieces presented to President Mitchell, and felicitated him upon the success achieved by the miners in the Pennsylvania field. The latter resolutions were embossed on aluminium and incased in a massive frame. A meeting was held this evening at which State President W. H. Russell, of the Illinois Miners' Union, Thomas I. Kidd. W. D. Wilson and James Beattle were present.

Heavy Shipments of Coal. READING. Pa., Dec. 11 The Reading Company, appreciating the fact that unless a supply of coal was immediately forthcoming there would be a serious fuel famine in New York and Philadelphia aa well as in other towns along the line, yes terday Inaugurated a move that promises some slight relief from the present situation. From Saturday at midnight until yesterday at midnight the company brought down from the mines 5-.0u0 tons. This does not include nearly forty thousand tons started on Friday. The immense traffic was handled without a hitch and every available locomotive was pressed into service, but beacuse of snow and ice slow time was made. The Reading Company is making every effort to relieve the situation and the fuel will be rushed from the mines as promptly as the supply oi fars aml motive p0ver will permit, but it Is handicapped because of lack of sufflcient engines. Coal Scarce In Washington. WASHINGTON. Dec. 13. The coal famine already is affecting the government buildings and the supply in most cases is nearly exhausted. Some of them would have to be closed in event of anything like blizzard weather and rigid economy has been ordered. The coal supply at the Postoffice Department was exhausted early this morning and all the electric lights above the first floor and the private elevator of the postmaster general were shut on. The steam plant at the Interior De partment also was shut down for over an hour, but a limited supply was finally re ceived from local dealers. The capitoi builulng has exactly two days supply now. but no fears are felt there, as the contract with the Reading Railroad requires that company to furnish sufficient fuel to keep the building heated. The agricultural, census and other buildlncs likewise have a very limited surply. Steel Plant Without Conl. WILMINGTON, Del., Dec. 15.

Terry & Co., wholesale grocers, the only wholesaler to bid, was awarded the contract for supplying the workhouse, poor farm and Home for Incurable Insane at Julletta with groceries on its bid at the ruling market prices for the grade of , goods to be furnished. Bliss, Swain & Co. secured a contract for twenty-five coats at $1.33, twenty-five pairs of trousers at $1.24, twenty-four 6uits of clothes at $5 and twenty-four pairs of trousers at $L The Original Eagle Company, unsuccessful bidder in any but clothing for the poor farm, received contracts for twenty-five pairs of trousers at $1 a pair.

Plans are now being considered by the authorities of the Manual Training and Shortridge High schools by which the Indiana State High School Interscholastic Athletic Association will be done away with and instead of a big meeting In which the high schools of the State contest each year a dual meet will be held between the two local high schools. The schools now in the interscholastic association are Crawfordsville, Veedersburg, Terre Haute, Marion, Muncie, Covington and the Indianapolis schools. A number of these institutions rarely take part In the annual meet, and it is partly on this account that the proposed plan Is being considered. Ever since the organization of the high school association the local schools have been the moving spirit and the outside teams have cut little figure in the contests. At the same time, however, they send athletic squads here, and although they often did not take part the association had to bear the expenses, which cut down the proceeds of the principal schools M. T. H. S. and S. II. a. If the two local schools decide to withdraw from the big association and hold an annual dual meet it will clear them between $300 and $400, where they have only made possibly $100 before. Aealn. it win give tne atnietes oi these schools a better chance, as each event will have three contestants if the new idea Is carried out. It U In view of these and other reasons that Robert Hall, of M. T. H. S., and Lynn McMullen, of ' Shortridge, are seriously thinking or leaving tne old organization and holding a dual meet each year. The faculties of both schools are heartily in favor of such a move, and it is practically an assured fact that the plan will be put mrougn. Another scheme now in progress is the organization of a big high school athletic association under the auspices of Indiana University, to meet in Bloomlngton on May lb. ana to comprise an or tne high schools of the State that desire to enter. No school will be excluded and the organization will be In charge or the State University. Physical Director Home, of I. U.. Is now making arrangements with the local high schools for the perfection of the plan. It is the idea to have a cup for the winning team in tne meet ana individual medals. The cup will be given by the State Uni versity. Both the leaders in athletic circles in the M. T. H.
