PULLMAN BERTH RATES ORDERED REDUCED. “Unjust and Unreasonable” to Charge Same for Upper and Lower Berths— Interstate Commerce Commission De- cision. ‘Washington. April 10.—The state commerce commission in a de- cision today holds it to be “unjust and unreasonable” for the Pullman com- pany to charge equally for the upper | and lower berths in its sleeping cars. Differential charges are ordered in several instances and Pullman Tates from Chicago to the Pacific are ordered reduced. The commission ruled that the pres- ent Pullman rates of $12 from St. Paul to the Pacific coast was too high and ordered it reduced to $10. The present rate of $12 for an upper berth is or- dered reduced to $8.50. A short might's journey, the commis- eion holds, should not carry a rate of more than $1.50 for a lower berth and $1.10 for an upper. The report, written by Commission- er Franklin K. Lane, is brief and does not disclose the exhaustive examina- tion which was made of the Pullman company’s affai But the record shows the commission’s investigation of the sleeping car company’s contracts general system of charges and earn- ings revealed annual dividends of nearly $60,000,000 from 1899 to 1908, inclustve.
