ARE ASKED TO EXPLAIN.

The Pullman company has been or.
dered to appear before the California
railroad commission for an investiga.
ton 1t is not rates this time that the
company is to be asked to explain but
the investigation is to be wide In
scope and inquiries will be made into
the company's practices, rules and
regulations. Following are some of the
things that the commission wants to
know:
How much the company depends on
passengers tips in figuring porters'
wages.
Why upper berths are pulled down
when not occupied, making lower
berths stuffy and cramped.
Why the answer mo lowers left so
often proves to have been a mistake
the next morning.
Why passenger cannot get his
berth made up when he wants it, but
must await the porter's pleasure.
Why berths SO often are sold to
more than one passenger, with result
ing confusion and annoyance
