At this moment the door was opened

companies have suffered a lass appro-
Nimately % per cent in small packag-

the gross revenues OF the companies.
Walter ID. Hines asserted that for
The five companies he represented,

Southern and Wells-Fargo, applica-
ton of the proposed rate of present
business would reduce their revenue
about $26, 600. 600 a year. or about
5.S5 per cent on every dollars worth

Such Il reduction of he

He maintained also that the formula

such as New York and Chicago by
forcing Il reimbursement of competi-
tive business conditions.
