Harold Baring is just turned 30. good to look at, a well-set-up groomed, unassuming young English who can shoot and ride like any Western cowboy—and who keeps a very cool hand upon the banking business of the world. He is not at all a gentleman of lJeisure. Forty years ago another Baring came to Americ. He was the grandson of the man who was a friend of Washington. He fell in love with a Miss Susan Minturn of New York, and he took an American bride home.

The case is considered one of the most portant that has ever come from the 5Su- preme Court, not only to the railroads but to the general public. and beesuse of the vast railroad properties represented by the Taffic Association. The associattun was formed on Nov. 19, 1895. by 31 railways, representing the great trunk lines and their network of branches. Tae purpose of the association, as stated in the articles of was “to establish and maintain reasonable and just rates, fares and regu- and interstate traitic."’ A similar assoviation, on a smaller scale, was formed among Southwestern roads, known as the Transmissouri Association, These associations were soon attacked in the courts on the ground that they were in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law, and also of the interstate commerce law. The transmissouri case first reached the United States Supreme Court, where, in a notable opinion, the court held that the as- socijation wage illeg:l, being in effect a com- bination in restraint of trade and com- merce, and therefore violative of the antl- trust law. This opinion was by a divided bench, the + Solicitor General Richards filed the briet for the Government. The main contention of the Government: was that the traffic agreement is a com-— bination to prevent competition, thus con- | stituting a contract in restraint of trade or commerce. The answer of the associ@e. im- ment, such action insures uniform and just rates and prevents secret and unjust discriminae tions. Justice Peckham announced the decision. He said that the court could dis no difference between this and that of | transmissourl case decided a year which was decided against the ra He said the only new point involved as to the constitutionality of the anti- act.
