The Richmond decision by Judge Pritchard of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals sides with the railroads against the Virginia State Corporation Commission. It holds the commission cannot assume court powers in setting a 2 cent passenger rate. State Senator Lewia H. Machen condemns the ruling as a legislative disappointment and signals plans to propose an eight flat 2 cent rate by the legislature. Machen has long pressed rate regulation and opposed the commission’s action.
