4. That actual experience shows
that the results of the decree con-
templated by the Commission, did
lot and will not occur.
The Commissions Decree
Regarding the second point In the
railroad company's petition. The
Public Utilities Commission says in
it's decree:
Paragraph second Of the petition
is evidently predicated upon a mis-
apprehension upon the phraSeology
Of the Commissions former decree.
The Commission read in its entirety
the evidence submitted in this case.
following the presentation of that
evidence orally. The financial re-
quirements of the railroad were care
fully considered: the total estimated
revenue from all commodities other
than pulpWood, logs and bolts. was
the subject OF evidence, and the es-
timated revenue from the local pulp
wood rates was the storm center of
the entire controversy. After con-
sideration of all such evidence, the
Commission was Of the opinion. for
reasons stated in it's decree, that the
rates proposed by the respondents
had not been shown to be reasonable.
with respect to the allegations set
forth in para graph Third of the petit
ton, we believe that the representa-
tives of shippers and consumers Of
pu1pwood were in position to esti-
mate with reasonable accuracy the
probable volume of business to be
offered to the respondents. Rates are
predicated on factors which include
the volume Of business. but such
volume may from time to time fiuc-
tuate. The figures submitted by the
complainants We're their estimate Of
the prospective business for the year
November /, 1923, to November 1,
1924.
I'VE do not feel convinced that the
present time is opportune for re-
hearing the case. even If we believe
that such estimates We're mayimiz-
ed-a point that the DIRECTORS to re-
hearing aver is not tenable.

FAILED TO CONFORM
WITH BODY'S POLICY

Daylight Post, 229, Department of
California, the American Legion, was
suspended not because of it's ex-
pressed views about adjusted compen-
sation but because it's membership did
not conform to the legally adopted
policies of the national and depart
ment organizations. This is the an
nouncement made by Morgan Keaton,
adjutant of the California department,
who has written posts in the principal
cities of the country explaining the
stand of the officials.
The post went on record as unfayor-
able to passage of the adjusted COM
penSation measure, and Department
Commander James F. Collins prompt
ly suspended the post and called for
surrender of it's charter until the de
partment had time to act. The execu-
tive committee sanctioned this act OF
the commander.
Post officials have since announced
that they will take their fight for re-
instatement to the national organiza.
ton, but the matter must first be con-
sidered by the department convention.
Keaton's letter to other posts Of the
organization, says:
"This suspension should not be con.
fused as any attempt on the part OF
the State department to repress OF

It's method in doing so is to withdraw
and join those who are opposed to 1t,

alterations in five national conventions,
