Interstate Commerce Hearing at
Washington Brings For
ward Many Protests

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-Testimony
in the eastern trunk line freight ad-
vance case was virtually concluded by
the interstate commerce commission
today, after many witnesses for the
shippers had agreed that the proposed
increases would locaiize competition,
hurt the western market for eastern
goods and otherwise seriously interfere
with their business.
The pending suspension of the pro-
posed advances is until February and
in the meantime on January 2. the
arguments of counsel viii be made
The commission may be prepared TO
render its decision by the expiration
of the present extension.
There was q steady run of witnesses
today in support of the shippers pro-
tests They include heads of the West
inghouse airbrake company, of the
Railway business association. of the
American locomotive company and of
shoe and leather drug, cotton goods
and other enterprises.
Clifford Thorne of Washington, Ia,
state railway commissioner elect, coun-
sci for the Corn Belt meat producers
association and the Farmers grain
dealers association, contended that in
four states alone the railroads had
been overcapitalized by $400.000,0 900.
Thorne contended that railway net
earnings have been increa sing faster
than their expenses ana that the credit
of the roads was good. He urged that
the only proof offered by the railroads
to support their argument 9f credit
Impairment was that they could market
1 per cent bonds at par, an ability
which he regarded as by no means in
dicative of bad credit. He said railroad
securities ares more desirable today
than five tens fifteen or twenty years
ago and command higher market prices
than those of other public utility or
