But the sparkle persisted. 1t was

he determined to Investigate.

to them that Wall street had re-
fused loans to shippers who made
too much of a fuss. Tt was point

cess of this means of silencing
restless shippers that imilar tao
tics had prevented many manu-

freight rates anyhow and would
never find out what was being

Assurances were required from
those who pledged support to the
increase that they would immedi-
ately set their forces to work
checking and adjusting rates.
There was to be no publicity and
as soon as the checking is COM
p,eted the notice of increase will
be filed with the interstate COM

Once the notice OF increase is
filed with the committee the rail-
roads will have won their point,
for shipper must lose money be-
fore he can prove he has lost it,
and he must be able to prove this
before he can attack an advance
in railroad rates. The fear of the
railroads is that enough shippers
will take heart from the fiatfoot-

and the Canadian to support the
Plan and thus arouse public senti-
ment to the point of intimidating
congress into passing amendments
to the commerce law that would
play havoc with their plans.
