Especial Charleston Correspondence)
Charleston.-Former Attorney Cen
eral William G.. Conley, on behalf of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
withdrew the application pending be-
fore the state public utilities commits
sion which asked consent of the COM
mission for the railroad company to
Increase its rate for interstate pas
senger transportation from the statu-
tory rate of 2 cents to 21a cents per
mile.
The action of the company was
taken following the postponement of
the hearing on the application for sew
eral months. The new tariff, propos-
ing an increase of interstate passen-
ger traffic, was filed with the commits
sion last April, and it was sought to
put the new rate in effect on May l
by bringing suit for an injunction in
the state courts. The courts held
that the commission was empowered
with authority to suspend the in
creased rate, and in the meantime the
railroad company has been collating
statistics to show that the lower rate
is confiscatory. The withdrawal Of
the tariff was a surprise, although the
railroad company can renew the petit
ton for an increased rate at any time.
