...prepared to see that expulsion followed by others. For a big faction of the A. F. of L. Executive Council is eager to expel the now "suspended" C. I. O. unions.

But established practice before any commission allows a petitioner to request an immediate emergency order after presentation of ample evidence pending a final decision. Last week the railroads resolved to take this step. Through the Association of American Railroads they asked that the ICC provide an emergency rate rise immediately to last until February when final hearings had been scheduled. The reason: many roads could not hold out two months longer...
