The direct suspension by the commits

Permission is given by the commits

to become effective November !. By
the terms of the agreement existing
rates will continue in effect until that
date Meantime the commission pro-
poses to undertake the hearing Of the

decided that the testimony in the east

beginning on August Is The taking of
testimony in the western cases will be
