 It is expressly set forth in the agreement that six months trial Of the new rates shall be considered a fair trial. At the end of that time the road can apply to the Railroad Commission to have such rate raised if 1t is found to be too low. Tn the event of the re- fusaI of the commission, Che road should have the right to carry the case to the courts.
 The agreement contains this signifi- cant sentence:
 Tt is agreed and understood that no way and It's allied lines skala be af- fected by any act of any extra sessiem of the Legislature which may bs held before the year of 1911. The Cover nor and the members of the Railroad Commission will do all in their power to protect the interest and rights of the railroads in question from any act of the Iegfslature."
 The roads expressly agree to dis- miss all pending litigation against the enforcement of the acts of the lesisla- ture. It is also expressly set forth in the agreement that the bonds of the roads shall not be liable for any damage in the establishment of the new rates. or in sthe dismissal. of pending litigation.
 The agreement is regarded as per- haps the most important chapter in the pending railroad controversies since the suits were begun in the Federal courts.
