Washington, Dec 29.--Recent diselos-

Washington Dec. 30 BY decision
Of the interstate commerce commission

Association OF Letter CARR Z lost q
notable case which il had instituted
against large number OF railroad
lines
The defendant roads filed tariffs with
the commission providing for special re-

St Paul. Mimi, in 1909 such reduced
fares being conditioned on the presents

Less than one thousand certificates
were available to be used, and therefore
the reduced fare for the return trip
was denied
The railroads had expressed their will
ingness to give the reduced rates, pro-
vided they could do so without violat-
ing the provisions OF their tariffs.
The commission holds that the tariff
provisions are binding and must con-
troll
Many Of those who went to St Paul
to attend the convention found them
selves in serious financial predicament
because they could not get the reduced
rate to their homes.
subsequently the letter carriers asso-
citation filed complaint with the com
