tration, the governmental gency,
which for more than two years
controlled the operation of the
nations railroad system, today
passed out of existence. With
its passing at midnight 23O lines
which had been merged into prac-
tically one gigantic system, again
went under control of private in
terests, free to operate in compe-
tition as of old. The transfer
was without incident and there
was nothing to indicate to the
travelling public there had been a
change.
The railroads were notified to-
day by the Interstate Commerce
Commission of the new powers
delegated to that body and the
rights and privileges accorded the
carriers by the new railroad law.
The commission explained that
the provisions OF the law against
rate reductions prior to Septem-
Der 1st, without the commission S
approval were mandatory but
that changes in rates, classifca-
tions, and practices in which a de-
cision had been entered by the
commission would be effective on
