Attorney General Anderson Fighting for

ATTORNEY General Anderson and the
O her State authorities interested IN
the workings of ID elegate Churchman's
two-c railroad rate bill are by no
means willing to accept the assertion
of the railroads that the statute is un-
constitutional, and that. therefore, it
can never be enforced.
While all the corporations doing bust |
ness in the Commonwealth have re-
fused absolutely To observe the Law,

force any requirement of any valid
