Gilliom, attorney general, argued that the commission’s rates should be presumed to be fair until the utility had shown them otherwise, and that since the Company refused to put Into effect the new rates, which were more productive than previous rates, the burden of proof that the rates were pnftscatory had not been discharged.

Shortemeler was to confer with Attorney General Arthur Gilliom today concerning the threat of the Ohio public service commission to arrest drivers of the Red Ball Transit Company’s busses who attempted to cross the State line into Ohio this week end. .A Senate resolution introduced by Senator Rowland H.
