RAIL BANKRUPTCY SEEN
IN FREIGHT RATE CUT
Attorneys Argue Before I. G. C.
That Western Roads Would
Be Ruined.

Argument was made by attorneys
for the railroads before the Interstate
Commerce Commission yesterday aft
ernoon on the proposed reduction of
freight rates on grain and hay, that
such reduction would throw many
western railroads into bankruptcy. At
torneys for the shippers declared that
production would be lessened and the
roads would suffer from reduced traf-
nc II the present rates were continued.
r. H. Widdicombe, attorney for the
Chicago Northwestern. said assertions
that present rates would result in a
decreased acreage next year were
very speculative" Prices. he added,
were governed by supply and demand
and not by freight rates. The present
low prices for grain were~due. he
said. to reduced exports as a result
Of conditions in Europe.
J. n: Davis. representing the Chica-
go. Milwaukee and st. Paul. said west
ern roads this year had expended
s5.04 per cent of their revenues for
operating expenses. which, he added.
proved that there can be no general
reduction in rates"
