NEW COMPLAINT CAN
REOPEN FARE HEARING
Secretary of Commission Advises
Commuters Organization
of Course,

Filing of formal complaint with the
Interstate Commerce Commission by
the w; B. and A. Commuters Club
of Seabrook. Md, would bring re-
consideration of a decision not to in
crease tariffs on the Washington
Baltimore and Annapolis Railroad
which became effective at midnight
last Saturday, George B. McGinty
advised John r. Riggles, chairman OF
the commuters organization in q
letter.
Mr.. McGinty said the commission
believed it should not suspend the
new tariff filed with it by the rail-
road upon presentation of evidence
by the road showing necessity for in
creased revenue.
The commission by this action does
not approve any of the schedules con-
tanned in the protested tariffs" Mr.
McGinty said. "All such schedules are
subject to formal complaint, investiga-
tlon and correction with any of the
provisions of the interstate commerce
act. IT you are of the opinion that the
1ares are unreasonable. unjustly dis
criminatory or otherwise in violation
or the act, the proper course for you
TO pursue is to file with the commits
sion formal complaint"
A delegation representing the
Commuters Club yesterday presented
a petition to President Wilson urging
reopening of the rate case before the
Interstate Commerce Commis ission. The
commission ordered that increased
rates on the W.. B. & A. become effec-
tive at midnight Saturday.
The petition sets forth that the
men at Camp Meade are disappointed
over the fare raise, as it will mean
fewer trips to either Washington OF
Baltimore on the limited pay in the
Army.
The petition, in part, is as follows:
I'm behalf of the enlisted men at
Camp Meade, thousands OF low-paid
government employees and folks OF
moderate means, patrons of the W., b
& A electric railroad, We appeal fol
justice in decision handed down in
favor Of the prosperous, money-mak.
ing w, B. & A. railroad, which re-
ceived a raise in fare July II ranging
from 8 to 100 per cent, while its
bankrupt competitor, the Annapolis
Short Line, received only 20 per cent
raise OF fare; such decisions cause
unrest and serious thinking in our
democratic nation.
'The W., B. & A. electric railroad
with capital stock Of $4,759,250 large
portion of water) paid 7h per cent
dividend on common stock last year
and had a corporate surplus and lib
erty bonds equal to 10 per cent. We
ask that you urge the Interstate
Commerce Commission to reopen
W.. B. & AL c. c. tariff 219 to heal
the injustice the present tariff in
f1icts upon our enlisted men and
Others"
