TO BOOST RATES
Big Railroads Move TO Raise
Freight Charges.
HIGH WAGES The CAUSE
George 2. eaer Presides at Meeting TO
Discuss changes-President Roose-
welt and Interstate Commission
Likely to Conoede.

New York. April 2I.-The executive
officers of all the big railroads east OF
the Mississippi river met in New York
and took what Is understood to be a
preliminary step 10 a general increase
in freight rates.
Before a new schedule goes into ef-
feet the roads will individually take
further consideration on the matter.
and another general meeting will be
called for formal action. after which
the required thirty days notice will
be posted
In addition TO the approval Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt the interstate com
merce commission's $ and the state COM
missions will have to be obtained In
railroad circles Il is said. however,
that the president has intimated his
approval in advance as an Offset for
his blocking the reduction of wages
and the added expenses which the en-
ployers liability bill will cause.
After the meeting. which was ad-
journed indefinitely the following
statement was given out:
The present business situation, as
It more particularly affects railroads.
was discussed There was strong
feeling that. while the rigid economies
which have been introduced should be
continued and the expense of oper.
alton should be curtailed so far as IL
consistent with safety and proper
maintenance. still the roads must in.
crease their revenues II there is to be
sufficient margin Of profit to make
possible the obtaining of moneys
needed for extensions and improve

roads have been Tor some time en-
gagged in making a study OF freight
rates and are I'm favor Cf Increase.
varying with the different classes OF
commodities
1T was generally believed by those
attending the meeting that present
conditions required that an increase
be made and the meeting adjourned
for each road to give further consider
alton 20 the subject"
George r Baer. president of the
Philadelphia & Reading Railroad com
pany. presided at the meeting.
The question Of an increase OF
freight rates has been the absorbing
topic among railroad men ever since
traffic began 10 fall on six months
ago. and has been reflected since then
by steady decline in net earnings
OF almost every railroad in the United
States In support Of the proposed ad-
vance II is asserted that in the last
few years wages have increased fully
20 per cent. that materials are at least
so per cent higher than ten years ago.
and that taxes have made a substan-
tial advance.
In more recent times there has been
passed the nine-hour law. affecting
telegraphers. and many OF the states
have passed two-cent fare bills and
ordered reductions in freight rates
and the carrying out OF certain i'm
provements.
