COMPLETE INQUIRY
 INTO RATE CASES
l. c. c. Takes Under Advise ment Evidence In Refusal of
 Seven State Commissions
By Associated Press

Washington, December 15.--Inyestiga- ton of the refusal o1 the railway com missions of seven states to increase state railroad rates to the level recently ai1- thorized in interstate traffic closed today with the interstate commerce. commission advisement The seven states whose cases were presented to the commission are Ohio. Illinois, Michigan, Utah, In diana, Florida and Nebraska.
 During the hearings, which lasted three days, counsel for the railroads attempted to show that carriers were losing mill ions through the existence of state rates lower than those prevailing in interstate traffic. They also argued that unfair dis -crinination existed against competitive traffic with neighboring states and that interstate tariffs authorized by the inter- state commerce commission were being avoided by the rebuying of tickets within the state limits.
 Counsel for the state commissions and state rates was a state rightly and in several instances the rates had been fixed by the state legislatures. They contended that the interstate commerce commission had no right to interfere with schedules so adopted. Intimidations were made that they might carry the question to the courts for settlement.
 Counsel for the state commissions also attempted to show that whereas stale passenger fares were lower than inter state rates freight charges had been so adjusted as to reimburse the roads TOT this loss.
