commission should give q rehearing OF

1t is estimated by experts OF the COM
mission that elimination Of such pay

the steel corporation alone of about 3d.

scarcely likely they will be held before
next autumn, in which event 1t will be
necessary for the commission before
july 30 further to suspend the tariffs.
The request was made by Vice Pres
ident Brownell of the Erie, who pointed
out that what he declared was the
serious financial conditions Of the car
riers warranted them and the commits
sion to expedite the hearings in every
way. The commission has assignments
made for Wednesday and Thursday but
concluded that 1t would be better 20

now than to wait until the latter part
Of April.
In that connection 1t was said to be
not unlikely, in order further to facili-
tate consideration Of the case by the
commission that counsel for the rail-
roads might submit the case to the
commission without oral argument, re-
lying on their testimony and briefs
fully to inform the commission as to
their position.
