CHICAGO, April 1.--U. @. Powell,
rate expert Of the Nebraska Railroad
;commission, was subjected to a pro
.longed eross-examination at the In
terstate Commerce commission hear
ing Of the western freight rate case
today. He appeared in opposition to
the forty-one western roads petition
for increased freight rates on certain
commodities. These increases, the
railroads say. are necessary to equal
ize rates and to increase their rev.
enues in order to maintain their
properties.
Generally Prosperous.
Mr.. Powell presented figures in
tended to show the roads were gem
orally prosperous and that they aver
aged in earnings more than s per
cent. Certain of the roads which
would participate in the increases,

ing surpluses.
