Arguments of Commission.

He also said that change of rates
upon one. system necessarily affected
the traffic and service upon the other
system. He declared that the transfer
system was necessarily involved la
any change of rates, since the placing
of a cost upon a transfer increased
the rate for continuous passage over
those sections of the line which the
transfer involves. These will be the
basic arguments Of the utilities com
mission in answering the suit filed by
representative of trade organizations

ing and the officers of the Kenilworth

some divisional points the men were
disinclined to heed the advice of
President Wilson and their grand

From east, south, southwest and far
west came reports that the men had
decided not to return to work until

vices from Atlanta. Ga. were to the

Power to Change Rate.

Regarding this section Mr.. Syme said
that under the public utilities law.
Congress had expressly made the rates
of service existing at the time Of the
passage Of the law, whether fixed by
laws Incorporating the utilities or by
general legislation, the legal rate until
changed by the commission and that
Congress had given the commission full
power to change any rate at any time
IL it appeared on investigation that the
rates were unreasonable, discriminatory
or insufficient.
Mr.. Syme said that Congress had
endeavored to place the burden OF In
vestigating and determining rates In
the Public Utilities Commission by
giving it ample authority and the ma
chinery for making Investigations as
to rates whenever this appeared nee
eSSary.

Against License Plan.

His other recommendation is fed
eral licenses for all corporations en-
gagged in interstate commerce. Such a
far-reaching innovation, giving an
administration ominous influence over
the industries and wealth of the coun-
try, would hardly be granted save as a
last resort and where the powers al
ready existing had been exercised Wig
ilantly and successfully.
mo such condition exists today. In
creased appropriations are suggested.
but this is the beginning Of the fiscal
year and the funds of every depart
ment are almost untouched and must
be ample for any immediate expendi-
ture. I am sure Congress will readily
supply any gap. I sincerely regret
that 1 find little hopeful suggestions
in the message"

DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED
|NPRES|DENT'S ADDRESS
Speaker Gillett Declares It Holds
Few Hopeful Suggestions"
Criticises Inaction.

Speaker Gillett was deeply disap-
pointed" in the Presidents address
and said today he found few hopeful
suggestions" in 1t. A formal state
ment issued by the Speaker follows:
Il am deeply disappointed by the
Presidents message. High prices is
the country's most grievous burden
and I had hope that, enlightened by
his great force of experts, he had
called US together to point out some
practical remedies. But he only gave
us beautiful appeal for class har-
mony. He suggested that federal
control over food be extended after
the declaration of peace.
UNLESS the administration makes
some effective use of it's tremendous
war power over food which Congress
gave 1t, and which it now has, and
which thus far has seemed to in
crease rather than decrease prices,
there will be little disposition to ex-
tend 1t. For nine months this coun-
dition has been growing worse, and
yet the President can point to moth
ing which has been done. but only
asks that his unlimited authority be
continued.
