Beginning what is e je c te d to

council argued in the b rie f th a t!
.the Commission deny the plea
o f the departm ent of justice th a t
the Commission hear the cases
separately The carriers contend
j th a t the cases should be consoli
dated — a move already ordered
by the Commission when it d i-j
reeled consolidation
mil in in ti
hearing on five of the cases.
“No invention of pleading can.

fact

the m u ltip le com plaints,
file d by the government seek re
p aration on d ifferent theories
I in d iffe re n t complaints on th e '
very same shipments,” the b r ie f
said. “ The handling of those,
com plaints necessitates the pre
sentation and consideration
if
' identical fa ctu a l evidence. It al
so involves the disposition o f im
p o rta n t comnion questions of
law’. "
The series of cases, the b rie f
said, constitutes an e ffo rt to re
pudiate the agreements by w’hich
special rates were obtained fro m
the carriers, through a c o m m it

The b rie f directed a tte n tio n of
the Commission to the fa ct th a t
