PRESIDENT SLIPPED COG IN RATE CASE (Costioaed Tram Face Ose) position as a quasi-judicial body, the president's action brought mystery. Many assumed that the White House had some understanding with the com mission, perhaps that the president had been asked to see what could be done by direct .dealing with the railroads through executive pressure, perhaps, that the . commission found Itself badly di vided, or was unable to order reductions. One" guess was as good as another. Events go to show that all such sur mises were incorrect. There was no understanding. It seems incompre hensible that the president knew what the commission meant to do, or when, although he had conferred with Chair man McChord. Probably he did not try to find out, recognising the independent functions of the commission. Ail in all. he made a -bobbJeV" The railroad executives were not pre pared to. pledge themselves to voluntary reductions for they had wide divergence of opinion, and no remedy, nor machinery for such an innovation. The machinery already existed, in the interstate com merce commission, for official determ ination under rules devised for securing facts, evidence and unprejudiced judg ment. Behind the president there had been pressure for cutting railroad rates. Bev- eridge had made it an issue in Indiana, the tarm bloc has been talking about ex cessive rates. Hoover has been advocat ing commodity adjustments, and politi cally it might have been a good stroke tor the administration to announce as one of its achievements a lifting of the rate burden. It waa not well timed, for the Inter state commerce commission beat him to it- The railroad executives, aa soon as the commission's decision came, packed up. Their hands will be full carrying out the commission's program without putting anything 'more in the hopper. Alsea River Lumber Go. Is Defendant in .

Fines were $10 and $20 for the different eases, depend ing n the strength of the drink. It developed in the course of the hear tngs that f ome of the samples were tak en t within an hour after deliveries had been made by wholesaling i companies Attorneys for the defense attempted - to excuse their clients on the grounds that the Wholesalers, and not the retailers, were .responsible for the violation of the law.
