takes tc make further reductions not
confined 10 agriculture as soon as fur
ther reductions are made possible
Your petitioners" the application
continued, submit that, il there Is to
be a reduction in rates for the benefit
Of agriculture, there seems little justifi-
cation for confining such reductions to
rates on grain. grain products and hay,
or 10 amy particular section OF the coun-
try. The economic reasons in favor OF
reductions apply with equal force to
other products of the farm and to other
territorial sections.
Your petitioners in view Of the con-
dition and of the special needs of the
TRANSPORTATION industry do not believe
that any further reductions in rates
than those herein mentioned should be
made until there is a reduction in op-
Grating costs"
This proposal was made by the car
riers. the application pointed out, for
the purpose OF aiding in the economic
readjustment and relieving the serious
economic distress OF the agricultural in
dustry, despite the fact the financial
condition OF the railroads does not war
rant such a move.
