repeated public declarations by the in

members that under the present law
the carriers are utterly beyond any

view has been frequently stated I'm

officers OF the commission I'm neWspa-

public addresses. The same idea has
been repeatedly set forth I'M tho ofi-

time, As these declarations proceed
from the very public officials who by
law are the direct representatives of
the government i'm interstate commerce
