Stubs. "The consumer and the pro-
Queer would have to foot s3O0,OOO,Ooo

proved. With the public paying heavy

an added burden on the consumer"
Clifford Thorne, counsel for the Ma
tional Shippers Conference, told the
commission that the net earnings OF
the carriers in 1917 would be less than
in 1916, but contended that last year
was a banner period in the financial
history of the railroads.
He presented figures showing a de-
crease in earnings Of 3.S per cent IN
several lines. but declared that this
showing should not be taken as basis
for an advance, contending that dif-
ferences in operating ratios made fore
casts Of earnings uncertain.
"No case involving $500 000, 900 should
be decided by any tribunal without an
exhaustive examination" said Mr..
Thorne. This proposed rate raise

Grady Carey, also representing the
shippers conference, submitted Stats
tics to show that two-thirds of the tom
mage of the country is handled by rail-
roads in prosperous condition.
THE present quick assets Of these
railroads, including cash, time deposits
and interests in unaffiliated lines. are
