PUBLIC SERVICE BODY
DECIDES AGAINST
IN BAGGAGE CAR CASE
Commission Insists on Wider
Platforms for Coaches on
Rear Ends of Mail
Trains
FULL CREW OPINIONS

HARRISBURG. Pa, July 1.-TWO i'm
portant interpretations of the so-caled run
crew" law were announced today by the
Public Service Commission in deciding the
baggage ca" and mail car platform
cases that have been before It many months.
Both are of Statewide application Two
other full crew" decisions of lesser impor-
tance were also made public and others are
pending.
The commission decided that the Penn
svlvanIa Railroad violated the act when II
did not provide baggageman on train OF
10 cars running between Pittsburgh ana
North Philadelphia and that wider plat
forms must be provided for cars on the
rear ends of mail trains.
The baggage car complaint was filed by
Milton T. Robinson, of Harrisburg mem
Der of the legislative committee OF the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen EVl-
dence was brought out to show that the
railroad caused station employees TO pace
baggage In combination cars at the eha OF
one division, where the doors we're lockeu
and not opened again until the baggage
was removed by other station employees at
he end of the next run. The railroads con-
',nded that the law did not mean baggage
EN- to be placed in cars where no service
was rendered, and that the sleeping ana
parlor cars were not passenger coacnes
within the meaning of the act
Tho opinion was written by Chairman
Ainey who holds that since the cars Ear
ried passengers they are passenger coaehes
under the provisions of the law.
Chairman Ainey holds that the running
of such trains without baggagemen is
violation of the law that must be imme-
diately corrected. ~
Chairman Ainey also wrote the OPINION
In the mail-car case, in which he holds that
cars on the rear ends of mail trains must
have platforms of the width prescribed by
the full-crew law, and that the provision
of this act Is not in conflict with any Fed
eral regulation prescribed by Congress. ne
says that this need not necessarily entail
the change of construction of all mail cars
but that II can be fully met by selecting
the proper type of car for rear-end service
In the absence of judicial utterances In TINS
dispute over Federal and State regulations,
Mr.. Ainey says the commission must reach
Its own conclusions. The complaint was
filed by s. r. Turner, Pittsburgh, for the
conductors organization.
The commission dismissed complaint
in which 1t was charged that the Cumoer-
land Valley operated a train with five men,
on the ground that the law does not aftect
trains of three cars or less. The tourth
complaint was also dismissed In an opin-
ion by Commissioner Killing. who decides
that a combination car cannot be reckoned
as two cars In the makeup of train and
provisions for crews under the terms OF the
act.
The effort had been made to have the
commission require six instead of hVe men
on such trains.
