The National Industrial Traffic league recently went on record as being opposed to the compulsory consolidation of railroads. The league declared tho experience of shippers with the consolidation resulting from the government operation of the railroads during the war was unsatisfactory. One striking exection, however, to methods 'established by the rail-administration during federal control was initiation and consideration of changes in rates. This plan, which involved the establishment of regional committees throughout the country and offered the convenient opportunity for exchange of information and views between shippers and carriers, was productive of such satisfactory results that it has been continued in the various rate or auxiliary committees established by the carriers.

Petitions making this demand were presented by the National Conference on Valuation of American Railroads, which, headed by Senator La Follette, of Wisconsin, presented these demands following its meeting in Chicago last spring. The petition sought 'to have the commission estimate the original cost all railroad property, where such costs could not be ascertained from, records, and attacked all existing valuation work of the commission as unsound. In refusing to reconsider its work to date the commission said: "There must be some limit to oui expenditure of public funds in research. We are of the opinion that our course has been in substantial compliance with the statute." The only part of tho petition which the commission granted was that notice be given to Robert M.

La Follette, chairman, of any and all hearings and valuation proceedings. The tommissiOT says that it has been doing this anyway and that it will continue to do so in the future. Commissioners Eastman and Mnr- Former price, $44,00. Pre-Inventory Price brown leather. Former price $120.00.
