mat Ion reached the Interstate Commerce
commission today of the cancellation
of a traffic agreement entered Into June
IS, 1P03, between the Southern Pacific
and the Sun Pedro, Loe Angeles A Salt

might subject the otlieials who entered
into it to a prosecution under the Sher

Notification of the abrogation of the
agreement was received In a letter from
