In February of this year, as compared with February of last year, we had 15,000 less men.” Recent developments have impelled the commission' to put aside collateral issues and extraneous questions and devote practically its entire time to the, rate (uestion. It is the purpose of the commission to expedite in every possible way final disposition of the case and to that end continued hearings will be held until the testimony shall have been concluded. That may occupy several days. Counsel for the railroads already have indicated that they may waive their right to argue the case orally and submit it on briefs. They have in some instances expressed their willingness to stand on the evidence adduced. $200,000,000 BOND ISSUE| Atlantic Coast Line Steckholders Au- thorize New Financing.
