lower rates 1t Is to be realized that there have been many rsadjustments of rates and in almost all cases downward Re- auctions varying frcm 10 to 40 per cent. have been made upon livestock, copper bullion, lumber and cotton while sub stantial cuts have been made in the rates on fruit rom the Pacific coast and sugar.
 As an offset to this the only reduction in the operating expenses of the rail- roads Is shat Of the 12 per cent. that went Into effect the first of July and of which much If offset by the cut in rates. By the new demand of the rail- roads for further cut in wages it is sought with the understanding that it will mean a corresponding cut in freight rates.
 By the reductions that have been made and by such business increase as has been reflected in railroad transportation the roads have been getting slightly in- creased revenue, but not enough to in- sure them the return indicated under the transportation act. Because the amount spent for wages makes up great part of railroad expense 1t is through the re- duetion thereof that further rates-cut- ting can be done. and apparently the roads look to the lower rates as means of increasing business and through such Increase in shipping obtain that return which the law declares they are entitled to,
