Justice Peck-haIn the Important opinion rendered ri in the supreme eourt today in the freight case, said the case presented two questions of Importance. act apply to and 1. Does the cover common carriers by railway ? 2. If so, does the agreement complained of violate any provision of that act I The court finally holds: The question is one of law in regard to the meaning and effect of the agreement Itself, namely: Does the agreement restrain trade or commerce in any way so as to be a violation of the act? We have no doubt that it does. The agreement on its face, recites that it is entered into for the purpose of mutual protection and a violation subjects the defaulting company to the payment of a penalty. While in force and assuming it to be lived up to, there can be no doubt that Its direct, immediate and necessary effect Is to put a restraint upon trade or commerce as described in the act. We think the fourth section of the act invests the government with full power and authority to bring such an action as this, and If the facts he proved an injunction should Issue. The decrees of the court of appeals of the circuit court must be reversed and the case remanded. The dissent of Justices Field , Gray, Shiras and White was announced by the latter. He said that the decision of the court followed the letter of the law which killeth rather than spirit which glveth life. The ultimate analysis of that decision was that there must be no trade. ?

A special from Washington to the Salt Lake Tribune says: There is some regret expressed here that Congressman King was not present on the floor yesterday to participate in the debate upon the Uncompah-gr- e amendment. He could haveohject-e- d to unanimous consent to the striking out of the amendment. This would have had the effect, if he had Insisted on his objection, of sending the bill back to the committee, where the amendment would have been clipped out and the bill again reported and passed. Senator Cannon is confident that the amendment will be reinserted in the Senate. Senator Pettigrew, chairman of the committee which will have the bill in charge, announce! that he will place the amendment in again. Whether it will get through the House again or not is the question. The opposition manifested yesterday indicates that Speaker Reed opposed to the opening, on the ground that the government would lose an opportunity oi making money by public sale of the land, which seems to be the most powerful argument against the opening, .that Its opponents can bring to bear to defeat the object of the 1 amendment Fark City I KxtraMloa- Provo, March 22.
