group will be conducted.
 When you arbitrarily prcscrib" boundaries of rate groups at 7o miles or 150 miles without giving consideration to the industries which you thereby group or sepa- rate you thereby disrupt long estab- lished commercial competitive con- ditions.
 The rates prescribed by the con- mission in the southern class rate investigation provided larger rate groups for the shorter hauls coycr- ed by the rates therein prescribed than the 75 mile rate groups pre- scribed for the longer hauls in tho consolidated southwestern cases. In the report proposed by Commits sioner Eastman. in the southern class rate investigation, Docket No l3494. Commissioner Eastman, at page lA3, of that report stated thal the rate groups should be maGs somewhat larger in Michigan, northern New York and New Eng land The commission has recos- nized that certain districts which are geogra phically, historically and industrially one unit should take rates of the same measure or level.
 At meeting in New Haven. Conn, November 18th, between shippers representatives of Connec- ticut and Massachusetts and the New Haven railroad it was unani- mously agreed to request the con- mission. that in view of the fact that rates to southwestern territory will route in part through South Atlantic ports in connection with Coastwise lines and will en route traverse southeastern territory tha- the grouping should be the same IS that set up in connection with rates to and from southeastern territory published in W. S. Curlett Agent Tariff I. C. C. No. A2O0. In fact, the group we request is also now effective to this same territory pub lished by the all rail lines pursuant to the commissions order in this case"

railroad for 75 miles north of the New York port group and group C will include points-in the second 75 mile block. It happens that the line of demarcation between the first 75 mile block and the second 75 mile block will be drawn across the state of Connecticut a short dis tance north of New Haven and will place numerous manufacturing in dustries in the lower rated group and a large number of competing industries. that produce and market like products, in the higher rated group. Heretofore all of these in dustries have competed on rates of the same level.
 We pray that the commission keep all of these competing indus tries on a rate parity the same as now applies into southeastern ter ritory.
 The industries which I represent are engaged in manufacturing va rious kinds of articles and commo- dities generally taking class rates. That class of Connecticut industry is located at points within the 75 mile group and beyond that dis tancc therefore if the commission will but consider my proposal all of the manufacturing industry of Connecticut will remain on rate parity as they have been for up- wards of 35 years,
 Several large brass manufacture ing plants are located tt Water bury and at Bridgeport The 7o mile line will put the Waterbury plants on higher basis of rates than the plants at Bridgeport. SeN- eral large manufacturers of hard- ware. mechanics tools and house. furnishings are located at New Brit ain and their competitors are locat- ed at New Haven. Bridgeport Stam- ford and South Norwalk. Under the 75 mile group New Britain will take higher rates than the four other points. Several large manufactur- CTS of ball-bearings are located at Bristol and New Britain and their competitors are located at Stam- ford. The 75 mile grouping will place Bristol and New Britain in a rate group higher than Stamford will be in. The same applies to the textile industry. These instances are representative. There are many others which l could describe but time does not permit.
 Examiner Bardwell in his pro- posed report recommends that Providence and Boston take the same level of rate as those ap- plicable 10 the New York port district and that the first rate group of 75 miles extended inland from New York. Providence and Boston. Such extension of the first 75 mile rate group will reach into Connec- ticut in each Of those three in stances and the result will be tha; the small territory which l repre-. sent will be exceptionally high rate territory. through which longer haul transportation from the lower rated Providence group and Boston

ATWATER OPPOSES
 NEW FREIGHT RATE
Appears Before 1. C. C. Against
 Change Alarming This City

Unjust discrimination against in dustries near New Britain and Wa terbury in favor of industries near New York, would result from the proposed plan to base freight rates on a scale fixed by a radius of D miles from New York and the same from Boston. making a higher rate from the Boston territory. accord ing to statements made by J. F. At. water. traffic manager of the American Hardware corporation at a hearing before the interstate com mcrcc commission in Washington Thursday.
 Mir. Atwater's argument was as follows:
 'I will argue th.s case for @5 large manufacturing concerns that operate plants in the state of Con- necticut, including Waterbury, Ne% Britain, Bristol, Meriden and Hart ford.
 "The principal point which l urge is that the commission should use the same group as the com. mission prescribed in the southern class rate Investigation. Docket No. 13494 instead of a line drawn at 75 miles or 30 miles from the ports Of New York, Boston or Providence. which is it's present proposal. The group I recommend will avoid the disturbance of long established rate parity of competing manufacturing industries.
 Tn the commissions original re- port in this case it divided the large Atlantic Seaboard rate group into five smaller rate groups. each rate group rcfecting 75 miles. We ap- posed the establishment Of tn smaller rate groups at the public hearings and in his proposed report Examiner Bardwell recommends enlargement of the rate groups 10 embrace hauls of 150 miles. but that improvement is conditioned on the shorter haul groups accepting a slight increase of their group rates and the longer haul groups than may take an equivalent reduction of their rates. Stated shortly, l shall argue that the larger groups are preferable to the smaller groups but in my judgment the commis- sion should not fix the boundaries of the proposed rate groups arbi- trarily by either 75 miles or 15D miles. In le proposed rate struC- ture for New England. of course the New York rate group is the basic group. Group B will extend along the line of the New Haven

a roar right in his face. He was aware
of swift moving little bodies going in
all directions. It was all so unexpected
that Peter almost turned back somer-
Sault. At first he couldn't think what
it all meant. Then he realized that
that noise had been made by wings,
and suddenly he understood. He had
all but run right into the middle OF
the Bob White family asleep. They
had wakened just in time, or he GER
tainly would have stepped on some OF
them Not knowing who 1t was, they
had taken to their wings, frightening
him as much as he had frightened
them.
Peter sat down right where he was
and waited. Presently he heard soft
whistle. He knew it was Bob Whites
voice He heard it answered. That
was Mrs. Bob From time to time he
heard those calls and he knew that Bob
and Mrs. Bob were calling their family
together again. Finally he located
them and promptly went over.
WAS that you who frightened us
SOP" demanded Bob White.
What that you who frightened me
500" demanded Peter.
Then they both chuckled, for really
the joke was on both. I've discovered
something" said Peter.
What have you discovered besides
discovering us?" asked Bob White.
i've discovered why you and your
family always sleep in circle" replied
Peter. 1T is because if you are sud-
denly frightened you can each spring
into the air without interfering with
any one else"
"Just So" replied Bob. "More than
that, an enemy never knows which one
to start after. If by any chance he
starts after one, one is all he can catch
for by the time he has caught that
one, the others have disappeared"
Its a great ideal" replied Peter
However did you think of it? I don't
know of any one else who uses this
trick"
1T has saved our lives Anany times,
replied Bob White. I'VE always sleeI
in the open, where there will be moth
ing to interfere with our wings. AND
because each of us is headed in a diff
ferent direction we never can bump into
each other. Then all we have to do is
to call to each other and come together
after the danger is passed"
And SO the mystery circle is mystic
rious no longer and Peter had even
more respect for the Bob Whites.

Why they did that was great mystery
to Peter. That circle was a regular
mystery circle. Mrs. Bob wouldn't tell
him anything about it. You see. she
liked to tease Peter.
Then very early one morning Peter
solved the mystery for himself. He
was hurrying home to the dear Old
Briarpatch. In just few minutes it
would be daylight. Already the Black
Shadows were rapidly disappearing.
Peter wanted to be home by the time
jolly, round, red Mr.. Sun started his
daily climb up in the blue. blue sky.
So he was running fast, lipperty-lip-
perty-lip, and he was thinking of Moth
ing but getting home.
With no warning whatever there was

The Is young Bob Whites were we'll
feathered out now and they had begun
to fly. They needed to be able to fly.
They had too many enemies to be
wholly safe until they could use their
little wings. Two or three times Peter
had run across them Squatting down
in circle. They were just as close
together as they could get. Each one
was facing out. This meant that all
their tails came together in the middle.
