on traffic in general seems unwar-
ranted at this time"
The report said that altho rates on
livestock were not excessive when
judged from a strictly transportation
standpoint, they ARE unreasonable
livestock industry. the report said,
would be materially helped by a re-
duction in rates because the cost OF
getting to market is substantial
item.
The examiner said railroads fear
that if they made reduction on one
commodity, the same thing will be de-
manded in many others and that If
they yield most of them will shortly
be found in bankruptcy. for it is heavy
moving traffic from which the car
riers make their principal revenue on
which reductions are sought.
I'VE cannot believe, however, that
the country will allow such a thing
to come to pass as a general condition
of receiverships," the report contin-
.ued. I'VE think the carriers in the
public interest, guided by economic
necessity of balancing costs and prices
as a condition precedent to sound
business basis, should favorably con-
slider the matter of eliminating, for
the most part, temporarily at least,
and especially for the longer hauls the
increases IN livestock rates maze IOl-
lowing the increases ordered in the

Tho original complaint against
livestock rates was made by the Ma
tional Livestock Shippers league and

kota, Arizona and Montana, and the
American Farm Bureau federation in
