Abbott, attorney for tho com muters. In Harrisburg today. Tho admission by Commissioner Emory It. Johnson yesterday that tho railroads wcro Informed what tho formal decision of tho commission would bo a day bqfore It was made public, has given rise to a new storm of protest among tho com muters. That tho commission 'dealt un fairly with them Is tho opinion of all who took part In tho rato light. Beforo leaving for Harrisburg this morning Mr. Abbott declared that ho In tended making a personal appeal to the Commission to grant a new hearing and to make full explanation of tho advlco given to the railroads, and not tho com muters, as to what the rato decision would bo. Should tho Commission refuse to reopen tho case steps will bo taken to have tho entlro matter taken Into tho Dauphin county courts. HOW COMMISSIONERS AltD HE MOVED. Tho removal of tho Commission rests with the Governor and tho Senate. Arti cle 4, section 15 of tho act creating tho Commission reads: Tho Governor, by and with the con sent of the Senate, may remove any Commissioner, or any of tho counsel to tha Commission, for tnefllclency, noglect of duty, or misconduct -in of fice, giving him a copy of the charges -ngalnstsliIm'and-affordlnK' hlm-Tth.op-' poriunity to Da publicly heard, In person, or by counsel, in his own defense, lipon not less than 10 days' notice. If such Commissioner shall ba removed tho Governor shall Hie In the offlco of the Secretary of tho Commonwealth a complete statement of all charges made against such Com missioner and his findings thereon, together wJth a complete record of tho proceedings. Should Mr. Abbott determine 'to press for tho removal of tho commissioners It Is probable that ha will havo to do so as counsel for the Philadelphia and Head ing Commuters' Association or for the Oak Lane Improvement Association, of which ho Is president. Instead of for tho United Business Men's Association. Edward B. Martin, chairman of the Transportation Committee ot the United Business Men's Association, declared this morning that It would not back Mr. Ab bott In urging the removal of tho com mission.
