RAILROAD TICKETS NO GOOD AFTER AUGUST

Return tickets and mileage book* bought before the higher fares allowed railroads last Saturday become effective, will not bo valid when the new schedules go into effect. . * ... . .. How the commission will handle the problem of tickets purchased before the new fares are made operative for use after their effective date is now being worked out, it was said. Commission officials emphasized, however, that travel for the present prices would not be permitted after the effective date of the new levels. It is expected that an order will be issued permitting the railroads to refund the amount paid for return coupons or unused mileage and commutation books or that passengers will be allowed to use them on payment of additional charges authorized.
