PULLMAN RATES
WILL Be REDUCED.
G. S .Fernald Of the Company So
Informs Interstate Com
merce Commission.
FOR UPPERs 20 PER CENT OFF
Various deductions to be Made for
Lowers In Specific
Instances.

Chicago, Dec, 1.-General reductions
for the rates of upper Pullman berths
and III certain Instances for lower
berths was announced today before
Commissioners Franklin X Lane and
Il. Il. Clark of the interstate commerce
commission. by G. S. Fernald. of the
Pullman company. No testimony in
the cases before the commission was
taken. The reduction in upper berth
lower berth rate exceeds sl.5O. Va
rious reductions are announced for the
rates on lower berths in specific in
stances. Todays hearing at which the
promise of reduction was made, was
rc-hearing of the petition of George
S. Lotus against the Pullman COM
pany. the point at issue being the
upper berth rates between Chicago
and the Pacific coast.
Last March the interstate commerce
commission ordered a reduction for
both upper and lower berths and the
United States Circuit court enjoined
the enforcement of this order. In
stead 1t directed re-hcaring be held.
The offer of the Pullman company
proving satisfactory to the plaintiff
before the commission no witnesses
were heard
Hereafter the minimum rate for
upper berths will be s1.25 instead of
s1.50, said Mr.. Fernald who is as
sistant general solicitor of the Pull
man company.
I'VE have not prepared all our
tables establishing the new rates
explained Mr.. Fernald, but we are
working on them. We decided that
although the upper berths cost more
to build. furnish and maintain than
the lowers. public discrimination
against the uppers required reduc-
tlon in their price. Where the lower
berth is rated at $1.50. the upper
would be S1.25 and IN all instances
other than this the upper will cost
so per cent of the lower.
if"Not a rate has been raised by this
new schedule, but we are endeavor-
Ing to adjust all charges to cor
respond with the eastern standard of
six mills mile. This brings about a
number of reductions in lower births.
as well as the correspondngly
greater reductions in uppers.
However, the lower berth rate from
Chicago to New York is unchanged"
4, Lower berths from 81. Paul and
to Seattle and inter-
mediate Pacific coast points arc re-
duced from s12 to s11. Likewise. the
rate for upper was made $3.50. Chi
cago to San Francisco lower berth |
