Washington, Jan. 26. The adminis tration's anti trust policy is directed only at u h business methods as are directly in the nature and Bpirit of monopoly. The president made this plain to cnlleiB today. Ho held un warranted the alarm felt in some quart ers that the bill prohibiting holding corporations would affoct companies that organized subsidiaries to meet state legal conditions. None of the trust bills, the president explained to his callers, contains any thing which would bar from business anything that is not itself monopolistic. And so far as the interstate trade com mission is concerned, he indicated that (body would not be tho "dragon" cer tain business interests fear.

Icing Privileges. UNITED FBESS LEASED WIRE. Washington, Jan. 26. The California fruit shippers won an important victory today in the supreme court against the Sante Fe, Southern Pacific and Salt Lake railroads in the "icing" cases. The court sustained an interstate com merce order greatly reducing charges for rofrigerating fruit cars and denied that the railroads have the exclusive privilege of icing cars or can prevent shipers from pre-cooling and pre-icing their own cars. Whether the railroads carrying the bulk of oranges and other' citrus fruits from California have the exclusive right to refrigerate cars aul uif-y prevent shippers from pre-cooling and pre-icing cars at a lower rate was the prime ques tion in the "icing case," Both the I. C. C. and Commorco Court decided in favor of the shippers. On July 5, 1909, the Sante Fe, Southern Pacific and Salt Lake" railroads amended their refrigeration rules to provide a re duction to $30 for the use of refriger ated car pre-iced and pre-cooled at the shippers' warehouse, the car being seal ed and not re-iced in transit. The rate for "standard" icing, (refrigeration af- ter cars are loaded, with replenishing of ice on route) was $62.50 from the coast to Chicago. The $30 rate was de clared unreasonable by the L C. C. and ordored cut to $7.50 per car. On May 4 tho railroads attempted to withdraw tho entire pre-icing privilege. They filed an injunction suit to sot aside the Commission's order. By pre-icing tho shippers would save about $600,000 a year. STRAY BILLET KILLS IN IN UNITED PRESS LEASED WI11B. Now York, Jan. 26.
