ATLANTA, Ca, May 2s.-Theise is a

Mr.. Barham whose testimony took
up all of today's session and may last
several days. also proposed a plan to
make Atlanta a pivotal point IN gaus-
ing the rates for the southeast. He
went into many details during the day
and in answer to questions said the
basic theory in making and applying
freight rates Is the cost of service. He
also declared interstate freight Is rs

A definite mileage system Mr.. Bar
ham declared. Is necessary as q meas
ure of justice to the territory and as
q measure to promote good viii within

The system OF rate fixing proposed
by the carriers is to be on a mileage

piioation OF class rates in all directions
and general compliance with sections

hauls. This system, together with the

southern carriers,
Mr.. Barham pointed out although
the cost Of service would always be
the primary principle upon which
rates would be based. that rates could
NOT be gauged entirely by cost OF SER

consideration, because of CONDITIONS

glble immediate reductions can be CO

Railroad executives were told by the

This. IN the administration view. would
remove burdens which have acted TO re-
tard the wheels OF commerce and at the
same time leave high rates on traffic
which can bear the burden, because Of It's
high unit price. Many railroads regard
the proposals with favor, but others look
with concern on the plan as comprising
a reduction in their chief source Of reye-
nue.. Among the latter are listed re-
cent tendency to RISE 1t was argued by
railroad managers. while western roads
are still at low earning points indicating
a necessity for treating the rate problem
