Earnings ARE SHORT

Hight Officials Gathered in Louisville
to Discuss the Matter Today-Some
Understanding Will Certainly Be
Reached.

Louisville, KY, July ia confer
ence of executive officials of southern
railroads, operating south of the Poto-
mac and east of the Mississippi, was
called here today for the purpose of
discussing proposed increase in the
freight rates on certain commodities.
1t can be stated that no increase of
cotton and lumber rates is contem-
plated. 1t is highly probable, however,
that the rate on cottonseed oil will be
raised, as we'll as rates on other COM
on general merchandise will be
changed. 1t is learned that the rail-
roads will plead, among other things,
in justification of any increase of
rates that may be deemed expedient,
the necessity of overcoming rate re-
auctions recently effective-notably
with reference to passenger traffic.
The claim is made that the railroads
have already gone the limit in the
matter of reducing their operating ex-
penses through curtailment of salaries
in every branch where a cut could be
made without inviting serious compli-
cations. Hence, the question now is
the raising of revenue sufficient to
meet the absolute exigencies of their
property.
Another justification for raising GER
tain rates will be the necessity of
meeting greatly increased operating
expenses incident to the handling OF
this falls business, and the fact that
in many instances salaries which were
reduced last spring will be restored
to their former basis. Notice of an in.
crease of rates on packing house and
grain products August has already
been given.
While rates on certain commodities
notably cottonseed oil, will be raised
as result of the Louisville confer.
ence, it can be said that the general
question of rate increase will be treat
ed very delicately, and no rate raised
that can be allowed to remain as now
fixed.
