This action is taken at the request of state authorities who have appeéaled to both sides and follows a statement which was made By Mr. Endicott of the public safety committee who In urging the action @eelared tHat he re- alized that the expenses of the read have increased out of all proportion to its income, and svenh without an in- crease in wages the company is un- able to earn a fair return on its in- vestment and that at presént the rosd is not even earning its fixed charges. Thus the patriotic stand of the com- pany cannot help beifig recoghized and it ought mot to be denied proper relief when {he time comes.
