Witness Wettling told an opening hearing before Chairman Clyde Atchison that Western railroads face lower earnings due to freight-rate disparities. He cited 1924 to 1927 comparisons, noting Eastern rates rose 76 percent, Southern 87 percent, while Western rates rose 29 percent, risking adequate transportation.
