It destroys competition and places the shipper at the merry of the railroad companies. Judge Welborn ordered a decree entered granting a writ of inquiry. Judge Welborn in his decision makes copius extracts from the testimony of Paul Morton, former second vice president of the Santa Fe company, and of other prominent railroad officials In which they say that the arbitrary routing of citrus fruit shipping was for the purpose of stopping the rebate system, which, it wss claimed was to the detriment of the small shippers and In order to maintain tariff rates Judge Welborn holds that this position is untenable and against both tbe letter and the spirit of the Interstate commerce ai-- t IOWA STRIKERS WOULD RETURN.

The greatest secrecy ia being maintained by the officers of the different anions as to the outcome of the vote, which is being taken by secret ballot. No official statement regarding tbe probable result of the balloting could be obtained today, and the reports of those who made a canvass of the situation conflicted. It was claimed by several striking butcher workmen that their union had voted to reject the proposition offered by the allied trades. These butchers persons asserted that the would not agree to an unconditional surrender as exacted by the packers, and which it la said was agreed to by the allied trades' conference board. To offset these reports many of the butch-er- a declared that their organization had voted to return to work on tbe terms offered by tbe employers. Contrary to expectations a number of unions Interested In the struggle have so faF refused to vote al all on the proposition, but It is the general belief that the organ teal Ions will finally take tho desired vote. What the reasons are for refusing to accede in the Instructions of the Allied Trades conference le not yet known. One of the organizations which has refused to consider the question ia the live stock handlers. According to President - Donnelly, tho refusal of these unions will have no effect on the final result as It will be the toial vote which will decide the proposition.
