The decision says that the com pany filed a seven-cent schedule to be effective August 5, against which a complaint was filed. The decision also says that the company was given right to collect certain fares from January 15, 1918, until May 1, 1920, when it must restore the for mer rates unless it can be shown then that the company requires the revenue.
