SERVICE HEARING PUZZLE
Laws Complications Bother New
York Railway and P. S. G.

There seemed to be some trouble in de-
termining just why the New York Rail-
way had asked the Public Service Com
mission for its approval of the exercise OF
its rights to operate and maintain the rail-
road now used for the movement of freight
along its piers between Fulton and Hamil-
ton ferries by the New York Dock Com
pany, when the application received a hear
ing yesterday afternoon. All interested de-
clared that the law the subject was
much complicated, and agreed to an ad-
journment of the question until Septem-
Der s.
When Charles E. Hotchkiss. counsel for
the railway company just formed to take
over the existing railways Of the New
York Dock Company, was asked why they
sought any further authority from the Pub
lie Service Commission he replied 1t was
because a railway corporation was author
lied to fix rates and interchange freight
under the rules of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. Therefore, his COM
pany would be able to increase the patron
age and make more money. They did not
ask. he said. for any more rights than
now existed, and there was no Interior
motive back of the application.

Operators Award Based Entirely on
High Cost of Living.

St Louis, July photographers and sta
ton agents of the Missouri Pacific & Iron
Mountain system received per cent in
crease in wages, amounting to $4,000 a
year. in addition TO concessions in work
ing conditions, by award OF the arbi-
traitors under the EHdman act. which was
filed in the United States Circuit Court to-
day.
The evidence showed material increase
in the cost of living, and on that account
alone the arbtrators hold the operators
entitled 70 the amount awarded. They
found that the railroad had a surplus OF
ST c1D.0O. and that in addition the net
earnings in two years We're 100000. The
finding is retroactive, and the increase must
be paid from June l.
The shareholders OF the roads, according

turns for two years from their investment
