Thomas Manning, the Republican minority member, voted with his Dem ocratic colleagues on all ballot* and made each election unanimous. Mr. Manning did, however, raise the ques tion of legality and necessity when the president called for nominations for Agent to the Board," saying he thought the president of the' Board should sign the relief order vouchers and supervise the granting of imme diate and temporary relief.

A large number of tariffs will be re quired to provide for the rates in ques tion, and the companies desire that the rates upon interstate and intrastate traffic be published in the same tariff and that the charges become effective on interstate and intrastate traffic sim ultaneously to avoid confusion between the rates on the interstate and intra state traffic.
