Steps to insure residents of Wis

road fares provided it is decided thai
railroads entering the state cannot
charge more than 2 cents a mile
were taken yesterday in the federal
court at Milwaukee.
Through stipulation entered in
to between five railroads entering
Wisconsin and the railroad commits
sion and agreed to by Federal Judge
Geiger, the hearing on the petition
of the railroads for permanent in
junction restraining the commission
from enforcing the 2 cent a mile
statute is continued until November
%.
At the same time it was provided
that the railroads, namely, the North
western, Omaha, Milwaukee, Quincy
and Sault lines, shall after October /
give each passenger upon request a
receipt for his railroad fare. In this
manner, should Judge Geiger refuse
to grant a permanent injunction, the
holders Of the receipts could demand
return of the difference IN the fares.
Under Wisconsin statutes, passed
number of years before the war,
the maximum passenger fare is 2
cents a mile. The law provides it's en-
forcement by the railroad commission.
With the recent return of the railroads
