ROADS ORDERED
TO BOOST FARES
Interstate commorce Commission
Makes Ruling in New York Case
Which May Affect Iowa and Other
States Where lntrastats Fares
Have Not Been Raised.

Washington, Nov. 19.-Railroads
operating within the state Of New
York were ordered by the interstate
commerce commission to increase, on
or before Dec. Is, intrastate passen-
ger fares. excess baggage rates, milk
and cream rates, to the level Of inter-
state rates authorized by the federal
commission in the advanced rate case.
The effect of the order, therefore, Is
to advance intrastate passenger fares,
baggage charges and rates on milk
and cream 20 per cent, and TO impose
n surcharge of SO per cent OF the
charge Of space in Pullman cars.
The decision of the commission.
upon which the order was based, con-
stitutes victory for the railroads in
their contention that congress in
tended the commission should re-
move discrimination against inter-
state commerce by statewide orders
as to intrastate rates, and sets a
precedent which it is believed the
commission will follow in the Iowa
numerous other states in which the
SaIIie queStlOHS ltdSo ARISEN tilaC were
involved In the New York case.
1t was believed here however, that
it would be necessary for the rail-
roads in New York to go into the
federal court for inJunctions pro-
hibiting state officials from prevent
ing the order of the federal COM
mission being operative, it being
pointed out that the order of the fed
eral commission is not binding on the
state authorities.
There is no question but that the
order of the commission will at once
be made the subject Of litigation
which will lead to the United States
Supreme court.
The commission withheld action on
the question of increasing commuta-
tion fares, reserving for future con-
siGeration that branch of the case. It
held the record contained compare
lively little evidence on the subject
Of Communication fares.
Commissioner Eastman dissented
from the majority opinion Of the COM
mission, declaring that he was un-
able to join in the decision Of the
majority because l believe it goes
