'GREAT INTERSTATE
RATE CONFERENCE

road commissioners to think seriously
about whether or not their present
policy in matters pertaining to rail
way regulations is to the interest of
all concerned. This subject will be dis
cussed thoroughly at the conference,
and recommendation may be made
which will have an important bearing
upon the railroad situation.
Calm and deliberate reason is to be
relied on by the railroads to break
down the organized opposition Of ship
pers to the proposed advance in rail-
road rates, and the roads will submit
the question to the arbitration OF
either President Roosevelt or the In
terstate Commerce Commission, ac-
cording to w. c. Brown, senior vice
president of the New York Central
lines.
There are but two ways of setting
the difficulty" said Mr.. Brown. Either
we must advance rates or cut down
wages. The railroads have been COM
PEELED to increase their expenses enor-
mously at time when their earnings
did not justify it, and unless they are
allowed to increase their earnings by
advancing rates, nothing remains to
be done but to reduce wages"
Not all of the railroad commission
ers accept this statement, however, be-
lieving that another alternative is Of
fered by the reduction of dividends
and squeezing. the surplus water out
of railroad stocks. 1t is likely that
the more conservative counsel will
prevail at the conference, and that no
radical recommendations affecting the
prosperity of the railroads will be
made.
