The opinion handed down by Judge Hazel, sitting in equity, in the case of the Lackawan na railroad against sixty-pne ticket scalpers, is quoted ,in which case the petition of the railroad company to re strain and inhibit the defendant ticket-scalpers from dealing in pan-American excursion tickets, was thrown .out of court; his decision beitfg that tho company -was not entitled tp the pro tection of tho laws. It is argued that this evidence produced in Judge Hazel's court is aniple and sufficient evidence and probable cause on which the at-.torney-general may institute proceed ings under the statute. ' The petitioners allege that numerous other trusts exist than those men tioned; that evidence of the existence of such other trusts can be furnished if necessary; that their existence is open and notorious to the minds of the peo ple of the United States; that this .other- evidence will be furnished if re quested by the attorney general; that the existence of trusts is admitted by the public editorials and articles in every leading newspaper; in the United States; that during the last session of congress their existence was admitted by the declaration of every member of congress who addressed himself to the subject; and that an act was passed by the house of representatives which purported to further restrict their operations in the United States. v "The existence of these dangerous combinations is further proven by facts Jmown to all men," it is de clared, "that in the platforms of the republican, democratic, and populist parties, adopted at their last national conventions, they all recognized the ex istence of these illegal combinations and vigorously denounced them. It therefore, being thus stated by men of all parties, by the executive and legis lative departments of tho government, and having been recognized by the judicial department of the government in various opinions rendered by tho supreme court, and also having been recognized by a largo number of states in their constitutions by incor porating clauses therein, denouncing these monopolies, trusts, and combina tions and providing laws for inflicting upon them civil and penal punishment. "Your petitioners would further show that, even though it should bo denied that these combinations exist, or that they are now violating tho law enacted by congress entitled 'An act to protect trade and commerce against unlawful restraints and monopolies,' that it is the duty of the attorney gen eral" to prevent and restrain a contem plated violation of tho said law when ever and wherever there is probable cause for instituting such proceed ings as are provided for by the said act. "Your petitioners will cheerfully furnish evidence no.w in their posses sion and gladly assist you by furnish ing you through their organizations whatever information and aid you may desire from them. "Your petitioners therefore pray that you either institute yourself, in the proper courts, 'prosecutions against these violators ot the law, or that you may authorize in tho various districts of the United States your subordinates. the respective district attorneys in these districts, to commence prosecu tion at once for tho past violations of this law in their respective districts, and at the same time instruct them at once to file before the various courts of. the United States petitions such as are provided for by the terms of said law, in equity, to restrain and pre vent impending and future violations of this law. "That these and all such other and general proceedings may be taken against tho aforesaid trusts and com binations as to you may seem meet, your petitioners in duty bound will ever pray," etc. The petition is signed by H. B. Mar tin, chairman, and William L. Dewart, secretary of the joint committee, and by F. S. Monnett, of Ohio; A. A. Lips comb, of the District of Columbia; R. S. Thorin, of the District of Columbia; L. R. Via, of West Virginia, counsel forpetitioners. An affidavit signed by Henry B. Martin is attached, certifying to the correctness of the allegations made.
