in view Of the fact that we have
been complying with the prior order
Of the Board OF Public Utility Com
missioners for some time and said
board issued said order in the belief
that they had jurisdiction over this
matter. we would most respectfully
suggest that the order Of the Depart

Public Utility Commissioners upon
the points involved.
1t Is unnecessary for US to say
that we wish to obey the law and
all proper orders OF the duly con-

cannot obey both.

tainly they are to be commended for
their wise acceptance Of conditions
as they exist.
Transportation is another cost
factor which prevents further reduc-
ton in many commodities. The
committees work has shown that IN
some instances the increased freight
cost over 1914 is alone responsible
for the Increase in the retail selling
fact. after making due allowance for
the freight increase. the retail com
modify price on many materials will
not exceed the 1914 retail price by
over 80 per cent; and from this the
comparative figures on some com
modities win run down 70 where they
will show no increase over 1914.
II feel I should comment on the
splendid spirit OF cooperation which
seems to exist in connection with this
readjustment program. All the va
rious groups OF dealers which have
been appearing before the commit
tee this week. have Joined In confer
ences with the apparently sincere in
tention TO aid in every way possible
toward supplying the committee with
complete information. Where a diff
