Indications are the Burlington railroad
win be on the carpet again for its action
In suspending the enforcement OF the new

storm Of protest was raised against the
enforcement OF these new rules that some
OF the Kansas City lines took the initiative
and suspended them until October Is. The
Burlington, TO protect the interests Of
Omaha, Friday gave notice the rules would
not be enforced in this territory.
Word was received from Kansas City
Saturday that the Interstate Commerce
commission had taken a hand and asked by
what authority the rules were suspended
Most OF the car service associations made
a rush and got out new rules in regular
form and had them filed before August g.
when the new rate law went into effect.
The commission now takes the position the
rules cannot be changed without the re-
quired notice the same as change in any
other tariff rates. Since the Intervention
of the Interstate Commerce commission at
Kansas City Burlington ofiicials are ex-
pecting like notice In their case.
Jones Cannot See IL That Way.
Although the announcement was made
by General Freight Agent spens OF the
suspension OF the operation Of the rules,
