Five Major Air|ines
To Cut Fares July IS
By Varying Amounts
General Rute Reduction
Ordered Originally by
Civil Aeronuutics Board

Airlines serving Washington will
reduce their passenger rates July Is.
The reduction will be in connec-
ton with general fare reductions
of five major airlines, operating
most of the air routes OF the Nation.
Reductions will amount to S695
from Washington to Los Angeles,
25 cents to New York or Chicago,
$225 to st. Louis, s3.l0 to Cincinnati,
81 05 to Atlanta.
The reductions are the result of
an order of the Civil Aeronautfcs
Board served March 4 on the Amer
lean, Eastern, Transcontinental 81
Western Air United and Western
airlines to show cause why they
should not reduce their fares.
During the hearings before the
board in 1912 on airmail rates. the
board suggested that the lines re-
duce rates 10 per cent.
On June Is of this year the board
dismissed the show cause orders
after the five lines agreed to make
voluntary reductions on July Is.
I'VE do not expect that the fare
reductions will result in an in
crease in business at this time, z
