In his address I'm Richmond. Mr..

increase of the profits of favored
corporations. 1t has been openly
charged and believed that the rea-
son why America has not had

This Ignorance, however, is being
dispelled by just such information
as that which the grand jury Sc
cured in the Metropolitan Street
Railway investigation. 1t is a
sordid and Oppressive story. Those
in charge of the corporation were
willing to buy unjust privileges.

Passengers Find That They

The Pennsylvania Railroad is losing

increased rates, which went into ef-
feet on Saturday last Under the new
schedule the fare to Pittsburg over
the Pennsylvania is $3.50, while the

Travellers first learned Of the diff
ference in rates yesterday, and there
was a rush 10 the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad station 10 buy transportation
to Pittsburg Under the decision re-
Gently made by the State Supreme
Court, the Pennsylvania Railroad can
charge 1-2 cents a mile. Counsel
for other railroads Interested have de-
cided that their companies must abide
by the Dunsmore law until each road
puts a test case through the courts.
The Pennsylvania could make an ar
bitrary rate Of S6.9S to Pittsburg to
meet its competitor. but such action
would be an admission that its pas
senger business could be conducted at
the lesser rate--a statement which the
railroad opposed vigorously when its
test case was in court.
