Brundage Fights 2 Cent Fare in Illinois Rail Battle
Illinois Attorney General Edward Brundage launches a federal court challenge to restore the 2 cent passenger fare on Illinois railroads effective September 1 1920. Railroads asked a temporary restraining order August 17 and judges Baker Carpenter English will hear the motion. Brundage vows to carry the case to the U S Supreme Court, aided by Matthew Mills and George T Buckingham. He cites federal transportation law limiting state power over intrastate fares and urges citizens to protest interstate commission decisions while warning against fare increases to 3 6 cents per mile.
