freight rates are conducive if not
absolutely necessary to the com

Those who are most familiar
with the situation realize the fact
that it will not be a very easy
matter to secure a revision Of the
existing rates, but if the com
mission orders the revision and
the railroads refuse to comply
with the order the matter will
then be taken to the courts, and
as we are undoubtedly entitled to
lower rates the final decision viii
