MUST READJUST
RAILROAD FARES
ger Rates Between Missouri, Iowa
and Illinois Points.

Washington, Aug. 3.-Readjustment
of passenger fares between St Louis
and Keokuk, Iowa, and points in I'LL
nois, was ordered today by the inter
state commerce commission, in up
holding complaint of the St Louis
Business Mems league that the pres
ent fares are unreasonable and dis
criminatory against those cities and
in favor Of East St Louis, Chicago
and other Illinois points. The existing
rate of toll for crossing the Mississippi
river at St. Louis and Keokuk was
fund unreasonable. Phe commission
directed the interested carriers to
construct their rates on basis of "a
per mile plus a reasonable toll for
crossing the Mississippi and ordered
that the fares between these cities
and Illinois points should not exceed
the fare from Chicago where the des-
tinations are in same.
In an opinion the commission says
that prior to it's decision in the five
per cent freight rate case and its
granting of an increase of one-half
cent a mile in interstate passenger
fares, charges between St Louis and
Illinois points were substantially the
same but failure to increase the intra-
state fare in Illinois resulted in a dis
parity.
The Chicago association Of COM
merce and the Illinois state pubic
utilities commission interviewed to
fight any changes in rates in Illinois.
