 Washington, D. C., Nov. 21.-Bast- ern shippers today presented their side of the increase in freight rates by the Eastern trunk lines, when the hearing was resumed before the h. terstate Commerce Commission. The railroads at the previous hearing con- tended that raise in rates was ne- cessary.
 Louis Brandois, counsel for the traffic committee of the commercial organization of the Atlantic Seaboard opened for the shippers asserting that the proposed increases were neither reasonable nor just He declared that if the railroads need additional net income it should be secured through greater efficiency and economy of operation instead of resorting to the dangers expedient of raising freight rates. Tn instance where such needs may appear it resulted, he said, not because rates are too low, but that the management by reckless expan- sion, waste and inefficiency impaired the financial conditions of the roads.
 MT. Brandios concluded by saying that burdens so arising should be borne by the stockholders and not by the shippers and consumers through increases in freight rates.
