C IllmOIS ommerce Commission Fails to Approve 20 Per Cent Increase Granted Roads ~tate INJURED IN FALL = Following the decision of the InterCommerce commi . sion this week granting the Chicago and North Westem railroad a 20 per cent increase in com1nutation rates for suburban t ra ftic within fllil{ois. the Illinois Commerce commission refused to approve the increase and announced that the hearing before the state bodv would proceed. The outcome of this- hearing is douhtiul, as it is reported that some of the Tllinois commissioners feel that if the. federal commi ·sion is allowed to ha,·c the say in this matter it will take away all the power of the Illinois commission over the railroads. There arc sc,·cral courses of action which may be taken, most of which will tie the rate increase problem into still further knots. The state commission may announce a decision for the same 20 per cent increase which the Interstate Commerce commission allowed, in \ hich eyent all complications will he smoothed out and the rate increase will go into effect No~· ember 23. \Vhat appears more t ikely ~s that the commission will grant an mcreasc of less than the 20 per cent asked by the railroad, thus putting before the latter the question of which order to obey. Charge Failure to Co- operate a guarantee of better service was g iven. As far as the north shore is concerned there seems to have been little further action in the matter. If put into effect; the rate increase will mean that 10 ride commutation tickets between \Vilmettc and Chicago will advance from $2.20, the present price, to $2.64; 25 ride tickets will advance from $4.73 ·to $5.68 and 60 ride tickets from $7.15 to $8.58.

Iri the petition for the rate increase the 1'\orth \Vcstern road claimed that it was losing large sums of monev vcarly in the suhurba 11 service. r{hc advance was merely to cover part of the annual deficit, it was said, and the railroad would still lose more than $600.000 yearly on it commutation business.
