the House committee investigating the Steel

knowledged that his concern had been a

agreement had been burned. The House
committee obtained a copy, however.

The most pessimistlc views Of the acute

''The Interstate Commerce Commission

mental commodity rates on the great rail-

that is calculated TO kill rate discrimination
between communities as practised by the

that the problem Of the long and the short

that there is no danger of the Controller
