prominence that renders it difficult for the railroad
officials to cope with the passenger conditions
The proposed link, work upon which will be begun

MUST RAISE RATES, SAYS HUNTLEY.
Believes No Railroad Can Pay Reasonable
Dividends Under Present Freight Charges
IRy Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

Detroit. Aug 27-"I do not believe that any
amount Of business which the railroads of this
country capable of doing at the present freight
rates will pay reasonable dividends insure fair
wages and make provision for the right kind of
improvements said George w. Huntley, of the
New York Central railroad, addressing the Trav-
cling Engineers Association this morning. Dur
ing the last six months of 1907, which you all know
from practical observation was the greatest in
freight tonnage that this country ever saw, nine
railroads show that on lines reaching from ocean
to ocean the increase in operating expenses was
60 per cent greater than the increase in gross
Ceipts
IF you found yourselves representing business
which the expiration of the year had a loss OF
% per cent, the operation of which was cost
ing YOU % per cent pet more than the gross
suits what would be the result in that case? You
know what state legislatures and tional legis
latures have done. tried to do, in the way OF
decreasing the passenger revenue. There is one
way left. and that is increase slightly the rail-
way earnings in freight traffic.
