The dispute, in August by 21 major truck lines, now involves two federal agencies, 82 railroads, a national labor union and Indiana's public counselor. The bulk of the nation’s transportation system will be affected by the suit. Object to ICC Ruling Howell Ellis, Indianapolis at|torney representing the truck lines, said his clients object to {the new ICC ruling which restricts them from leasing trucks. Under the lease system, many firms hire privately owned trucks to make a single trip, paying a percentage of the cargo revenue for that service,

The truckers argue that ICC has exceeded its authority and that terms of ts order are harsh, unworkable, drastic and

unlawful.” They also contend it's unfair because railroads can op-

erate under a similar trip-lease system. Since the suit first was filed,

Chicago Suburban Motor Carriers Association, has intervened to support all the ICC rulings except parts prohibiting trip-leases.

The association has a member-|

ship of 67 truck lines serving six midwest states.
