Charges Laws Violation
The commission charges the roads
with having granted concessions and
offsets to their allied coal companies,
which have in effect been rebates in
violation Of law
Commissioner Harlan, who dissented,
contended that while modification of
many coal rates was justified, the &C.
ton was inconsistent in view Of the re-
cent rate increase for practically all
other traffic.
The decision Is the result of an in
quiry instituted by the, commission

go down and that Americans will suffer
unless some means are devised for COM

have been made and are receiving careful
