PROPOSED INCREASE
OF FREIGHT RATES
Chairman Knapp Says Interstate
Commerce Commission Has Not
Been Advised of Any Change.

Washington.-The interstate COM
merce commission has thus far re-
ceived no official information con-
flrming the proposed increase of
freight rates. If the rates made by
the railways are made the subject of
complaint to the commission that
body, of course. would investigate
them. On its own initiative the COM
mission probably would institute an
inquiry into any general increase to
ascertain whether the rates are rea-
sonable and just, but any determine
tion of such an issue would not be
forecasted by the commission itself.
Chairman Knapp of the commits
sion in an interview said: "Justifica-
ton for increase in freight rates. If
be found. if at all, only in the fact
that the increased cost of operation
and maintenance of railroads has
reached a point where reasonable
profit on money invested in them is
rot possible from the revenue they
now receive. In determining whether
rates are reasonable careful consid-
Grafton is necessary of three factors
that good wages are paid railroad
employees; that present Transports
ton facilities be kept on a satisfac-
tory standard, and that new facilities
be provided to meet every increase in
demand for them"

said Judge William H. Taft, presiden-

obeyed without regard to any ques-

respect, to any provisions of that law.

attempt to influence the votes of
members of the organization of which
he is the head, Mr.. Taft at first laugh
ingly said that that was a question of
propriety upon which he was not suf-

asked as to- his idea of the power of
the leader of labor organization to
throw its vote to one party or an
other, he declared that, in his opinion,
