U.-Cross-eiam-(naUon of John E.

Louis D. Brandela, the com mission's counsel, drew the conclusion that the. amount of capital required by the roads to earn a dollar on a year' operation had decreased In 191S. Mr. Old ham Insisted, however, that the falling interest did not indicate the roads had borrowed money at a lower rate. Under examination by Clifford Thome, counsel for several shippers' organiza tions, it was developed that the decline in net Income of tha railroads had been fractional and that tho roads had been maintained at a higher level during 191s, than during previous yeara.
