George Fernald and F. 3. Daniels
arguing for the Pullman company, de-
clared the Pullman concern is not a COM
mon carrier and therefore is not amena-
bic to the commissions orders. They
said the company gets nothing but the
berth rentals from the operation OF its
cars over railroads in the northwest.
Burton Hanson, representing the Chi
cago, Milwaukee d st Paul railroad who
had been granted permission to inter
vene for the company he represents. says
his road operates its own slecpers and
would not be affected by tho order.
Following an extended investigJ tlon the
commissioners ordered the Pullman com
pany TO rduce rates on upper berths on
railroads in the northwest beginning
June l. The Pullman company Is now
seeking TO prevent the commission from
putting the order into effect. Arguments
for the commission will be made tomor-
