son refused the request Of the railroad
labor unioa representatives that he In
yestigate railroad executives claims
before the railroad board and declined
TO submit the matter to congress.

labor board and the interstate COM
merce commission. He accordingly
informed the labor and railroad repre-
sentatives that he was submitting cop

Enough to Meet Freight
Charges.

rates was asked OF the interstate com.

they can get in an unmarketable con-
dition."
