General Moody to-day made a state- ment with regard to the petition which will be filed by his direction to-mor- row in the Circuit Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Wis- consin in a case brought under the Elkins law to test the legality of cer- tain commissions paid by railroads (after the receipt of the published | rates) to a private car transit company controlled by stockholders of the cor- poration shipping freight in those cars over the vailroad lines. This case arises out of facts v\hlch have been investigated by the Inter- state Commerce Commission and also by private interests adversely affected. Tt appears that some of the principal stockholders of the Pabst Company organized and own the Mil- waukee Refrigerator Transit Compan a corporation operating private cars. To the latter corporation the control of the shipments of the Pabst company was given by an agreement entered into between the two corporations. The | | various railroads mentioned as defend- ants, while receiving as frelght money the open and published rates for the it transportation of commodities, have, is stated, paid to the transit compan: cars the Pabst Com- transported, a com- 12 per cent upon the amount of the freight money collected. | This petition is signed to test the | legality of such payments. The case is regarded as of great pany’s beer was importance by the Attorney General and will be pressed to a speedy hearing. MILWAUKEE.
