AGAINST
COMMUTAT|ON RATES

OPPOSITION to the Increased commuta-
ton fares into and out of Washington
sought by the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road in tariffs filed Monday with the
Interstate Commerce Commission will
be voiced at a mass meeting in Ken
sington tomorrow night.
Officers Of the kensington chamber
ot commerce. who called the meeting.
have invited ali users Of commufatio on
tickets in Kensington. Caltol View. Fer
est Glen. and Garret Park to attend
the meeting, and cJmbirle In opposition
to the increased tariffs.
The Interstate Corucrerce Commission
will be asked to give the protestants a
hearing before the proposed increases
so Into effect.
Similar action Is expected to be taken
by civic and commercial organizations
and citizens generally in the o~cer sub
urban towns adjacent to Washington
through which the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad passes.
The contemplated action on the part
Of the Kensington citizens Is the result
of widespread objection to the increased
rates sought by the railroad. Users OF
the suburban lines will endeavor TO
show that the present fares are suffi-
ciently high to net the road a good
revenue. The proposed rates are char
acterized by promoters Of the protest
meeting as 'exorbitant.'
The Kensingtou Chamber Of Com
merce is prepared to show the Inter
state Commerce Comm .ssion that the
new rates are in some instances an in
crease Of "A per cent. Objection will be
raised with the extent of the increase
and the mode of transportation provif-
ed under the new system.
Available now to Kensington resi-
dents 24-ride tickets. good for three
months, 4S-ride tickets goor for one
year. ana 60-ride tickets good for ono
month and single-trip tickets. After
December 20, according to the new tar
ifs, there will be In effect Go-trip. 46-
trip students tickets, and 10-trip month
ly tickets, and 1So-trip quarterly tick
cts.

Railroad Commissions
Asked to Investigate

The Department Of Justice has been
asked by commuters Of Pennsylvania
and New Jersey to investigate the in
creased tariffs proposed by the Penn
phia and Reading. and other railroads
on the ground that, apparently, they
are the result Of "collusion and agree
ment." The state railroad commits
sions <of the two States also have been
requested to institute investigations.
In the protest of the increased rates
and request for an investigation. the
protestatants declare that the Erie rafl-
road doing the largest communication
business out OF and into New York
city, has not increased its rates.
