The decision is in line with similar action by the Public Utilities Com- mission of New York and under it the railroads are compelled to con tinue the joint rates. This means that the shipper will not be put to the extra expense and inconvenience in freight transportation when a trunk line and a terminal road are used, as would have been the case had the Public Service Commission permitted the cancellation of the joint rates. The case reached the Public Serv ice Commission through the action of the Monongahela Connecting Rallroad of Pittsburgh and a group of its most prominent shippers, representing many industries and businesses. They took an appeal immediately following the announcement by the trunk lines, the latter part of March, that all joint rate agreements would be abolished April 1, The Monongs Connecting road's contention that no mld be made time was ng rates of consent of the Public B« 1 after thirty without the {ce tice and a public h had failed Ye Commis a Lys’ no , The raliroads consent of gone ahead Service Comer in the app« iderable tes LLing A date two AE fce Commission into =n plete di The sult to trunk on Public scussion y CASE, was a decision lines and t ¢ LE Oi unjust and un to the laws of the state, hile the decision of the nission is in confilet with of the Interstate Cor fon, there | to do at p mint resonant the at titude nmeren withing for the resent but to con- rates on state bual wealling them 3 inter The attitude of what fit is hoped straightened Comineros formal action that ing in court and a decisi be In conformity with+*th the State Commission.

The trunk at once accepted this suggestion although not compelled to do so by order, and proceeded to fasue now tariffs iscontinuing the joint rates with the short line rail roads, the effect of which was to in crease the freight rates all per sons and industries located on or using the short line raflroads for making thelr deliveries or ghipments, The increase in rates effected in this manner has been declarad un justifiable and unlawful by the State Commission, and all shippers located or doing business on the short line rallroads in the State will have the benefit of the fiat rates within their district as heretofore, and the Monon. gahela Counecting Railroad has been maintained in its proper status as =o common carrier.
