Summary of the Decision Made

from the majority opinion of the in

Daniels held that a per cent increase
should have been general-that the

held that the reasons which the ma

Of Pittsburg applied equally to the
territory east.

Harlan, held that rates west OF Pitts
burg were the lowest in the country
and warranted an increase. while II
was held that the income OF the east

manded IN public interest. no showing
had been made warranting general
Increase.

The real relief, the commission held.
for the New England roads and those

upon a sound basis. 1t was held that
rather than raising freight rates, the
