In aid Of an understanding Of the first
question. and of proper solution of
the second question. the commission

which, they have not been able fully
to answer. Pending preparation by
the railroads of their replies. we have
been hearing the protests of shippers
against the proposed increases in
which they are interested. Also we
are taking testimony as to free serv-
ices and special allowances to large
shippers. The records show there
are $4,000 shippers sidetracks and
