the courts all State laws making two
cents mile the maximum passenge
rate Attorneys Of several of the larg-
est roads held conference here yes
terday with view to having all roads
pursue the same policy as to litigation
over the twp cents a mile rate.
The plan now generally favored is
to ask the courts to restrain the en-
forcement of the law, on the ground
that a rate of two cents a mile would
cause the railroads a heavy loss. and
in many cases would REQUIRE them to
run trains at less than the actual OPP
Grating expenses. regardless of the
fixed charges, taxes and other obliga-
tons of the railroads. OF which they
claim the passenger traffic should as
