Nothing could be more reprenensible
than for a Corporation Commission IN

for the benefit of another Yet it is
exactly this action which the sun
recklessly charges the Virginia State
Corporation Commission with having
committed. In the interest of truth
and justice our neighbor would lrave
done better had it examined the record.
BY so doing ii would have learned that
the Baltimore and Ohio was fined for
deliberately refusing to make con-

counsel to make. This action on the
part of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road was an opep and gross contempt
of court. and as such was properly
punished.
