The Commission Straightens Out
Matters.

       For some time the H. & T. C. and I. & G. N. railroads have been at cross purposes over the matter of switching the cars of sach (sic) other at Bryan.
       The railroad commission was appealed to by the business league at Bryan to force the roads to handle the cars of each other, as their refusal to do so was resulting in great inconveniece to the people who shipped cotton over for compressing.
       After hearing the facts in the case the commissioners entered an order directing each road to receive and switch the cars of the other road for the prices usually charged for such work.
