I started reading you in Rome where I have had a residence for the past 25 years, and have kept up the good work until now. Let me add that I send every number to friends back there, who eat them alive...
When the I. C. C. last month rejected the roads' plea for a flat 15% rate-upping as an emergency revenue measure, it proposed, as a substitute, an increase in carload rates ($3 and $6) to add between $100.000.000 and $125,000,000 per year to carriers' income (TIME, Nov. 2).
