Tariffs Filed Effective
 June First.
FRESH MEATS ARE AFFECTED
Southeastern Freight Association
 Issues a Statement.
The Increase wm Anouat te From Three Cents to res ceafs Fer
 Hundred Posnas on All \ Fresh Meats.

Washington. May 2.-It appears iike~ ly that the anticipated increase in rail. road freight rates is about to be made.
 A few days ago a member of the Interstate Commerce Commission ex- pressed the opinion that within three or four months. unless a decided i'm provement in railway conditions should take place, 1t probably would be ne~ cessary for the carriers either to in- crease freight rates or to reduce tho wages of their employees Personally and officially. the commissioner depFe- cated the taking of either horn of fhs dilemma by the railroads, but he be- lieyed 1t to be inevitable that one or the other course would be taken.
 Sooner than was expected. actisn looking to an increase in freight rates has been taken. The railroads of rha Southeastern territory have filed with the Interstate Commerce. Cemmfaalon tariffs effective June 1. increasing their freight rates on fresh meats materials ly. The proposed rates will affect all fresh meats shipped into the South~ eastern territory from the North and West. The rates will take effect at Ohio river and Mississippi crossin8a. including Memphis. Tenn. and VIII ne effective into all parts of what Is known as the Carolina territory. That is the section of the country North ox Asheville. N. C.. and South of Danviltes Virginia
 The increase will amount Co from three cents to ten cents per hundred pounds on all fresh meats. It fs the firsk material raise ia the rates on f0od- stuffs made by the railroads Of tho country for a good many yenre. It will mean much to the consumers &H 1t will probably result in an increase of approximately one cent . pound on low grades of meats and perhaps Na much as two cents per pound on tho select cuts.
 While the increase to the conaunar in the territory affected by the pro- posed rates fs notleeable. it ts likely that it is intended as feeIer of pulp lie sentiment with view to makiuE a general raise In rates on all cofn- modifaes. It Is conceded by tariff ex- ports of railroads that many of khn commodity rates af American raifwaH4 now in force are comparatively low and 1t ia retarded by those who have stud. fed the situation that in view ok the increased cost of railway equipment and of railway employees. it may be necessary to increase some of the freight rates. This is q matter, how ever, which the Interstate Comncrce Commission probably will inquire into carefully to determine whether en1 rates proposed are in any sense ek- eessivs or unreasonable. The tnrreneA Of rafes on fresh meats intp the Soufhr eaafefn territory is re8arded AN xis entering wedge of q general tncfHeSE on all commodities and the re9nlE 4t inquiry into the question raised Mtkk be awaited with interest.
