formation reached the commission
that many carriers are violating the
law in this regard. The indications
are that the offending carriers viii

Il see no reason why the suspen-
sion of the proposed classification
should affect us" said C. l.. Watson
today. The railroads of the coun-
try are arranged into groups each
having its own rate agreement and
these agreements are called CLASH

This order recalls the demand

to ernbody anything In life outrance,

Really, this whole discussion has been
amazing. 3iy couple Of brief letters

ELECTED a prodigious amount Of response
In your columns and elsewhere. The au-
thor himself has not disdained 10 come
forward. Your leader writer, your con-
tributors and your correspondents have
brought their heavy guns into action; the
actress has delivered a broadside OF her
own. A voice from Moscow has spoken
from a theatre which labels itself like a
furniture shop and makes the profits OF
ore. Columns IN the press outside have
telnpestuously swept aside my protest,
dubbed me silly 'Stggins. 'Philistine.
Puritan and "a person Of nasty mind,
and, possibly. not without considerable
degree Of personal lewdness.' Why all this
detauch Of aesthetic exposition? Why all
