It proposes, as a means of getting rid of the difficulty which was created for the committee of the Reichs- tag by the first reading of the meat in- spection bill, that the United States should allow German meat inspectors to come over to America and there carry out their duties. They would, of course, remain in the pay and service of Germany, and the increased cost of the service could be met by the inspectors charging a fee. i e The Wrong Mr. Dierks.

ADVERSE TO THE SHIPPERS e e NEW FREIGHT SCHEDULE NOT ILLEGAL. ————— Chief Counsel of the Government Holds That No Conspiracy to Restrain Commerce Has Been Proved. Evecial Dispatch to The Call, WASHINGTON., Deec. Attorney | General Griggs to-day returned to the In- | terstate Commerce Commission the tran | cript of the evidence taken at a hearing before the commission last week in the matter of the new frelght classification. | with a view to action by the Attorney General under the anti-trust law, if his | judgment should warrant it. In his let- ter to the commission, referring to the demand of the shippers that legal action against the raflroads be taken, the At- torney General say: You express no opinion on the matter, but properly leave me to determine whether the facts shown warrant me in applying for an in- junction to restrain the operation of the new classification, on the ground that in adopting it the railroad companies violated the anti-trust law. Discussing the methods of the railroads in establishing a common classification, the Attorney General says: | There i1s an official classification committee, | composed of some fourteen railroad officers from different sections. This committee meets on the call of its chairman al | quest of three members. | gested changes are o i upon the re- meetings sus. ch changes as the committee, with tal unanimity, recommends are noted by the chalrman and corporated into a new officlal | which Is then submitted to its individual action. Some sixty rafiroad com. panies thus independently pass upon the class fication. They signify their adoption to the chalrman, who, after the official classification has been thus adopted, files it with the Inter- state Commerce Commission, in compliance with the law. Continuin, says that the legalt Attorney General Grigss | y of the method of preparing, adopting and filing this offi- | clal classification has never before been | questioned. In fact, he says, the ques- | tlon of legality was not case until after the rallroad officials had refused, during the course of the hearing before the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion, to postpone the tinfe for the new classification to take effect for sixty to ninety days. Furthermore, says the At- torney General, it is apparent from the | | protests originaily filed with the commis- sion that it is the changes made, and not the method of making them, which is complained of. ing up this question of reasonable- ness of the rates, Mr. Griggs sa. aised in this | | unreasonable point: it ma i ppers; it may charge more for a short than for a long haul; but none | however unjust and wrongful, amount violation of the anti-trust law. To aut! orney General to direct an Inju ing under this law It must be shown | contract, combination ¢ ¢ ¢ aint of trade or commerce | In the first place nsplra entative specting suggested ation. There Is subsequent by railroad companies in the adootion of t new classification recom- | mended by the committee. The testimony taken does not show that any rallroad acted under compulsion of a combination in adopt- ing the official classification. It must be ceded that a common classification by rallroad companies operating In the same territory Is a desirable thing. WIIl it be insisted that rail- roads cannot consult respecting freight classifi- { tion? Or, because one railroad company adopts a certain ¢ sification another cannot? The antl-trust law says there must be a contract, { or combination, or conspiracy. This must be | shown. And it must be shown to restrain in- | dividual action. This Is not shown in the testi- mony submitted | Moreover, there must not only be a contract, combination or conspiracy, but it must be in | restraint of interstate commerce. As applied | to carriers, this means a combination to sup- | press competition. It is only by suppressing ! competition and arbitrarily fixing rates that a restraint can be put upon interstate com- merce. The filitg of an official classifieation | does rot fix the rates. It places articles In | certain classes, but the rates for the classes | are determined’ by tre railrsad companies ou | side the classification. If a railroad company | maintains the existing rates, the change of an | article from a lower to a higher class will | increase the rate, but from aught that appears in this testimony, every rallroad company using the classification is at liberty at any time to change the existing rates upon giving the notice required by the Interstate commerce act. Moreover, each rallroad company is free A raflroad company may raise its rates to an discriminate among | these acts, ‘l 0 4 [t or conspiracy In among the seve: there Is no contr: There is shown. indepe - | and he has occupied DRY GOODS COMPANY.

In wcrds, no suppression of competition, n bitrary fixing of rates, no restraint of state commerce fs shown. The Transmissouri and Joint Traffic Asso- ciation cases afford no precedent for the action requested In this case. Each of those asso- clations was formed by a contract, under which the companies selected a central au- thority to fix and maintain rates. There was an absolute suppression of competition. The pewer of independent action was destroyed. No company could change a rate fixed by agers of the assoclation without subje self to a penalty. If the testimony submitted showed a com- biration among the rallroad companies to re- ain commerce am the several States, I d not hesitate to invoke the remedy pro- vided by the anti-trust law, but to take such action upon the face of the facts submitted would not only be futile, but absurd. If thers be a remedy for the complaining shippers, it lies In an appeal to your commission under | the interstate commerce law. PLEADS GUILTY TO A SERIOUS CHARGE OAKLAND, Dec. 30.—N. P.
