of rectifying the situation.
When rallrsads were authorised In
1920 to Increase passenger fares 20 per
cent the railroad commission of Texas
Intervened the commission's order to-
day explained and attempted to for-
bid the increase within that 8tate.
The interstate commerce commission
later upon petition of the railroads
concerned reversed the ruling of th
Texas commission and required the
passenger fares within that State to
be raised to the level It had established
for passenger fares elsewhere In the
country.
The name of the Wichita Falls and
Southern was "inadvertently omitted"
from this final order of the Interstate
commerce commission the announce-
ment said and as a result that rail-
road hfis been' maintaining the low
rates which other railroads were al-
lowed to Increase.

tigation ordered today at times and
