RAILROADS MAY
FIGHT LOW FARE
Two Cent Rate in Ohio, Indiana and
illinois to Be Attacked BY
Association.

CHICAGO, Ill.,, June 27.--An attack
upon the validity of the 2-cent fare
laws in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, may
be made by railroads connected with
the Central Passenger Association, If
plans now under consideration are
carried out. A meeting was held in
Chicago for the purpose of outlining
plans to tabulate a large amount of
data bearing on the subject of carry
ing passengers at the rate of cents
a mile AS soon as the information
has been compiled it will be turned
over to a committee of lawyers rep
resenting the different roads, who will
formulate a report on the advisablll-
ty of beginning legal proceedings and
the scope of the same.
The plan of the Central passenger
association roads is in line with a
general attack upon 2-cent rule in
various states throughout the country.
Several weeks ago number of rail
roads took UP with the interstate
commerce commission the question OF
the effect of cent laws on interstate
fares, the suggestion being made that
the long and short haul clause would
compel carriers in many instances to
lower their interstate fares to the level
of interstate rates. The commission
decided to postpone the enforcement
of any such rules until May, 1912. II
was generally understood that the
postponement was taken in order to
give the roads an opportunity to test
the 2-cent regulations in Ohio and 9th
er states.
