spokesmen disputed this, and placed the cost at $600,-
000,000. Whichever figure is right, the financial cost
to the carriers would be several times as great as their
total net income in any late year. It would be substan

vast volume of defense shipments.

increase as an excessively heavy burden on the lines,

brotherhoods rejected the plan flatly and called for a
nation-wide railroad strike beginning December 5.
