Inter state Commerce Commission, which
permits the Southern Railway Company
TO meet tie cut in passenger rates made
by the SeabCard to Atlanta without re-
ducing the rate to intermediate points.

except that the decision might give the
impression that his line was In the wrong

CJnmenting On the decision, President
Holman said:
Il no longer see any use for the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. That body
has virtually given the Southern Rail-
road Company a weapon with which
10 fight US, and has repudiated about the
only important clause of the act under
which IL was created.
THE long and short haul clause OF
the law has been upheld by all the courts.

Commission should be the first to nullify
