In regard to the war conditions
the opinion says: THE commission
can not be unmindful of the present
abnormal conditions and the extent
to which they affect railroad COM
panies. The several agencies CO.
operating with the federal govern
ment in the conduct of the war have
called the attention of Public Ser
vice Commissions to the great de-
mand now being made upon rail-
road companies and that they have
been urged to curtail their train
service to better meet the demands
of the nation. We are all called
upon to accept as our patriotic duty
certain inconvenience or burdens
which the war conditions have inn
posed. On account of these condi-
tions commissions feel constrained
at this time to make orders relating
to such matters as are considered in
this report. which If made under
normal conditions might be varied"
