We are of the opinion" reads the
decision. that the carriers should
study the situation in all it's ASPECTS
and that they can and should devise
methods to correct the misuse of their
equipment and facilities which would

proposed charges will accomplish the
end they seek. nor will they be free
from unjust discrimination. The pos
sibility of abuse leads to abuse. and
the present chaotic conditions of the

facilities make It imperative that cor
receive measures should be carefully
studied and analysed and established
and enforced rigidly, to the end that
the equal treatment of all which the
law requires should not be easily cap
