Information received by the Interstate Commerce Commission is that the straight fare between New York City and St. Louis, for instance, will be advanced $2.00. The fare- i en New York and intermediate poii t will be based on the increase between
the two larger terminals. The fare between Xew York ar: 1 Chicago will be based entirely upon a 2 cents a mile rate, and .-o far as practicable, the fares between Si w York and intermediate points and Chicago and intermediate points will bear a like mileage charge.
