IGNORE The ORDER
Chicago Street Cars Still Charg'
ing Eight Cents.
Company Gets Injunction Pre-
venting Five Cent Fare.

Chicago, Nov. 25.-Chicagoans are
still paying cents to ride on surface
line cars despite the fact that an or
Ter by the Illinois commerce commits
sion directed that cent fare be re-
stored last midnight.
An injunction prohibiting the fare
reduction until December 2 and fixing
that date as the time for a hearing of
the case 'on its merits. was granted by
Judge George A. Carpenter, of the
United States district court. The
United States circuit court of appeals
will hear the petition for permanent
injunction.
In asking for the restraining order,
the traction company raised the con-
tentiOn that the fare reduction is con-
fiscatory in that it deprives the COM
pany of revenue without which the
surface lines cannot operate profit
ably. The company will be required
to submit evidence in support of this
contention.
The commerce commission will be
required to submit evidence that the
5 cent fare is justified.

Sim Fein Obdurate.
At today's interview. Mr.. Lloyd
George was unable to give Ulster as
surance that even if she agreed to his
proposal, the Sim Fein would admit
the point of allegiance to the king as
king of ireland.
Such admission has been refused by
the Dali Eireann representatives who
are declared to view Irelands position
solely as that of an independent state,
which however, might make treaties
with the other states of the British
empire and possibly even acknowledge
the king as the president OF a fedora
ton of free states.
This is nothing like the settlement
plan the British government had in
mind and it appears that II the Sim
Fein maintains its attitude the nego-
tiatons must be broken off with the
resumption of warfare an immediate
possibility. An effort is being made
by the moderate lement in ireland
to induce the Sim Fein to modify its
views. it is understood but so far with
