JUDGE GRANTS INJUNCTION Eight Railroads Are Forbidden to Discriminate Against Small Shippers. f0 "ITY. April 27. Judge John F.

Chicago, Mil waukee & St. Paul, , "i, Topeka & Santa Fe. Burlington a. ,ney, Missouri Pacific, Chlcsgo, Rock U.and ft Pacific, Wabash and Chicago Oreat Western. The case preaented the same question In volved In similar canes passed upon by Judge Orosscup at Chicago on Friday last. As the demurrers In these casea were heard by Judge Grosscup snd Judge Phillips. Bit ting together, the brief opinion given by Judge Oiosscup last Friday was the result of their conference and agreement. The decision delivered by Judge Phillips today, which was oral, maintains that the discriminations and rebataa made and al lowed by the railroad companies were violative of the Interstate commerce act and that they tended to create a monopoly In the shipment of grain and products in favor of the Individual shipper, to the practical exclusion of all other dealers and like shippers, and that the question pre sented was whetner or not a bill In equity, at the Instance of the attorney general of the United States, on request of the Inter state Commerce commission, mould lie to enjoin the defendants from further rebates and discriminations. The inclination of the mind of the court was that the acta done were not only vio lative of the Interstate commerce statute, but also the anti-trust statute; snd that the government. In the capacity of a parent, representing all the people conoerned In the shipment of such products, and for tho public welfare, was entitled to appeal to Its own courts to enjoin such violations of the law; that the bill known aa tho Elklna bill, uuder the decision of the au preme court of the United Statea in MIs slourl Pacific Railway company against United States, recently rendered, expressly confers jurisdiction upon the federal courts In equity both aa to pending and future casea; that there can be no question of the right of the court to grant a tem porary Injunction in the casea pending, which will be done aa on motions now en tered, with leave to the defendants, If they desire, to take Issue by answer aa to the truth of the allegations of the bill.
