congratulating him on hi* success.
It was not given out here, however,

application is expected carlv in Au

Is ?e?2rai!y assumed that the forth
coming award of the Itailroad Labor
Hoard In the employes' and carriers'
wage controversy will be taken Into
consideration without further hear
ings in adjusting -the new schedule.;
The railroads under the provisions
of the transportation act. asked rate
advances which would yield an add
ed yearly income if M.017.000.000 :o
provide the C per cent return permit
1 ted by the law. In addition the ex
. pense to i,e created by the cxpectod
award of the Itailroad Labor hoard,
estimated at between StiOO.OOO.OOO and
| *'?^OO.f'OO.OOO. must be met by further
increases, the carriers claim.
Opposition on the part of shipper-;
was confined mainly in the amount
the increases aske.i by the car
riers. 30 per cent In the Hast. 31 per
cent in the South and Jl p,;r cent In
the West, which it was argued, was
too high. The necessity for some ad
vante was generally conceded. Many
? ? ivcrs disapproved of a Ktnc raI
auvanic and suggested Hat increases
on certain commodities.
Closing argument for the railroads
today, a. I>. Thorn, general counsel
for the Association ??f Itailway Kxecu
ilvtv, :oUi the commission that when
the labor board's decision was hand
j ed down the larrlers would ask that
part of the further rate advance
made necessary should be borne by
the passenger tratiic.
Irad-qnate service is more costly
:''an high rate?, Mr. Thorn contended
a(1 din? that the public de.-ires proper
transportation for the commerce of
~ie country above nil else.
Clifford Thome. ?>f Chicago, in the
final argument i? behalf of the ship

prerequisite to the commercial dv
vclopment of the United States, and
that nothing should be done which
would unnecessarily shock or disrupt
