To comment on the ruling OF the Inter
state Commerce Commission on railroad
rates, on the ground that his company
was not a party to the case and that he
preferred that the trunk lines. which
made tho rates, should do the talking.
From another railroad source it was
learned that the New England roads are
only indirectly affected by the decision.
Neither the New Haven nor the Boston
u Maine were parties to the application
for an approval of higher rates.
The indirect benefit which the New
