order this week requiring a materia
reduction in ciaes rates over the mam

The extent to which existing tariff
will be affected by the ruling of the
commission cannot be learned, but the
effect may be to disturb transcontinent
al rates and, prolwbly. to require an ad

If the decision of the commission is at'
