COMMISSION RAISES
/. RATES OF CARRIERS
FIRST RULING RENDERED IN
SERIES OF CASES INVOLVING
JURISDICTION OF STATES.
Orders the Railroads Of New York to
Establish Passenger and Baggage
Rates on Interstate Traffic to
Conform to Interstate Rate.

Washlngton.-In Its first decision on
the right of the federal government
under the transportation act to re-
qulre railroad rates within a state
to correspond to the higher levels OF
Interstate tariffs, the interstate COM
merce commission on November 10
ordered the railroads OF New York
to establish passenger and baggage
rates on intrastate traffic conforming
TO advanced Interstate schedules. Sim
liar proceedings are pending affecting
more than half the states In the union.
BY It's order of last August, the com
mission authorized In the New York
region an Increase of 40 per cent In
freight rates. 20 per cent In passenger
rates, excess baggage charges and
rates on milk and cream and also n
surcharge OF so per cent on Pullman
accommodations. The New York pub
lie service commission granted the
freight advance except milk, but de
MED the other increases within the
state, and the carriers appealed to
the Interstate commerce commission.
The federal body held that there
was a general obligation resting upon
1t ITO exercise control over lntrastate
commerce so far as It affects inter
state commerce"
THE decisive factor" the ruling said.
"ls whether the rates under consdera-
ton inJurIously affect Interstate COM
merce."
Congress directed that rates be al.
lowed which would yield an aggregate
return of from 51a to @ per cent on
the value OF the railway properties,
the commission stated.
