RAILROADS DENY
GROUND FOR RATE
REDUCTION IN U. S.
Hearings Lasting Several
Months Draws To Close
Before |. c. C.

WASHINGTON, March S.-Rail-
roads began their final defense today
OF existing levels of freight and pas
serger rates before the interstate
commerce commission whep attorneys
gave oral arguments which will con-
clude the hearings that have continued
for several months. Henry Wolf
Bike of the Pennsylvania system,
Fred IL. Wood, general counsel OF the
Southern Pacific. AMI Frank Gwath-
mey for the Southern Railroad, insist
ed that neither on legal or economic
grounds. had the mass of testimony
taken disclosed ground for the COM
mission to make general reductions of
rates.
The railroads gave way to the oppon-
cnts just before the days sessions
concluded, and Fred w. Putnam of the
Minnesota railroad commission speak
ing for all state regulative bodies,
associated in the hearings, entered
upon the preliminarics of an argu-
ment which will be continued tomor-
row. State commissions are asking
first. he said. for passenger fare re-
ductions on the ground they are too
high for the traffic to bear and that
nc portion of railroad charges il re-
duced. would be more quickly re-
flectcd in the actual cost to the ulti-
mate consumer"
Mr.. Bike used railroad earnings
statistics exhaustivcly placed in the
record to formulate his conclusion that
no reductions can be granted. Rail-
roads are entitled to n six per cent
return on the value of property used
in transportation. he contended,
whether this figure is fixed in the
future by law or set up by the COM
mission as standard and the latest
earnings reports indicate that they
are now making but 4.49 per cent.
Mr.. Wood took the same position as
sorting that no greater blow could
be dealt the credit of carriers" than
that involved in n general rate reduce
tion. -
Mr.. Gwathmcy added that no grounds
exist for the assumption that there
can be any immediate stimulation OF
business by rate reductions.
State commissions. shippers and
business industrial representatives
will have the next two days to elabor-
ate their arguments in the case and
their attorneys will conclude the en-
tire hearings Saturday with the re-
buttal.
