withdrawal from warehouses and dis
tilleries for manufacturing purposes.

fore congress Wednesday their plea
for relief from financial embarrass-
ment. Prest Harding took direct ac-
ton 10 satisfy himself that a revis-
ion of freight rates particularly on
necessities. will be a part of the gen.
eral railway readjustment.

Commission, the president inquired
of the commissioners what they
were doing toward the relief of ship
pers who had found some Of the
present rates unreasonably burden
some. lie was assured that the
whole subject was under investiga-
ton and that the commission hoped
soon to effect broad revisions
through the voluntary action OF the

The hauling charges for fruit
products over western roads were
made a specific example by Mr..
Harding in pressing his inquiries.
He told the members Of the COM
mission that he had received many
reports OF dire distress among the
western fruit growers. because Of the
existing high rates. and asked
whether changes might be expected

piled that the fruit schedules al
