 MT. Garner said the Republicans were playing politics. with the legis- lation and would not pass it until after the election.

 Stress was laid by the rail men on the fact that existing rates were created during the period of govern ment control and operation of the transportation lines, the idea probably being to divert the responsibility from the companies for whatever incon- sistencies that might be revealed.
