the interstate commerce commission
and after the same date shall not run
mixed trains Of wooden cars plac-
ed between steel ones. A further
section prohibits railroads from pur-
chasing new rostoffice cars not of
steel after passage Of the law and
any passenger cars not Of steel after
July 1, 1914 The interstate commerce
commission is granted authority to
extend the time for compliance with
the law except as to railway mail
cars. After July 1, 1915, however, all
trains In interstate traffic must be
composed wholly of all steel cars.
