Commission Won't Act-The Pub
lio Service Commission has enunci-
ated policy of declining to make
nndings in complaints against aboli-
lon OF passenger trains by railroads
because of the war conditions, in an
opinion handed down to-day in the
case of residents of Allison Park,
Allegheny county, against the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company,
which had annulled two passenger
trains. The decision says that the
testimony shows the railroad much
congested between Allison Park and
Pittsburgh and another track would
mean much expense. "On account

by the Government. the Commission.
without reaching any conclusion as
TO the merits of the complaint, will
postpone making any findings at
this time" says the decision. THE
facilities of the respondent should
be utilized in the present crisis to
the full extent thereof in assisting
the Government in carrying on the
war. Leave is given to renew the
complaint when the war ends.
