ELEVEN MONTHS SUFFICIENT
TO PROBE RATE ISSUE.

The question of the actual physical
effort involved in the investigation by
the Interstate Commerce Commission OF
the thousands and thousands of Increased
rates was considered at yesterdays White
House conference.
The railroad presidents were of the
opinion that the commission would be
able TO complete its undertaking in the
eleven months allowed by the law, and
members of the commission agreed with
this view after they had carefully con-
sidered the situation.
II was pointed out by the railroad pres
idents that it would not be necessary for
the commission to investigate each rate:
that each railroad had certain basic rates
which were used by them as a standard
for making their other rates They ar
gued that the commission would be able
TO determine the reasonableness. of large
groups OF rates by considering these basic
rates alone.
Another way of facilitating the COM
missions work was suggested both by
railroad men and members of the COM
| mission, and that was that the commits
sion should proceed upon the assumption
that the old rates were reasonable.
Working upon this assumption. they
would be able to limit the consideration
10 evidence showing the reasonableneSS
OF unreasonableness of increases from
this old standard
Members of the commission are plan
ming TO forego vacations and to remain
on the job all summer.
They expect also to ask for an addi-
tional appropriation from Congress for
additional clerk hire and for several new
special examiners. Most OF the work of
the commission in getting evidence viii
be done through special examiners, and

TEXT OF MESSAGE.

To the Senate and House Of Rep
resentatives:
a recent effort by a large number
of railroad companies to increase
rates for interstate transportation of
persons and property caused me to
direct the Attorney General 10 bring
a suit and secure from the United
States court In Mississippi an iniune-
ton restraining the operation of such
increased rates during the pendency
of the proceeding. This action led to
a conference with the representatives
OF the railroad companies so enioined.
and the agreement by each of them to
withdraw the proposed increases of
rates effective on or after June l. and
not to file any further attempted in
crease until after the enactment into
law OF the pending bill 10 amend the
interstate commerce act. of the adj
Journment of the Congress; with the
further understanding that upon the
enactment OF such law each would
submit to the determination of the In
terstate Commerce Commission the
question of its resemblance OF. all in
creases that each might thereafter
propose. 1t is my hope that all of
the other railroad companies viii take
like action. In order. however. that
each may have the benefit Of a speedy
determination of the question whether
or not its proposed increases in rates
are justihable, provision should be
made by Congress 10 vest the Inter
state Commerce Commission with
jurisdiction over such question as soon
as possible.
In the Senate amendment to section
lS Of the act to regulate commerce as
obtained in House of Representatives
bin 1888, the Interstate Commerce
Commission is empowered, immedi-
ately upon the filing of a proposed in
crease in rates. OF its own notice. or
upon complaint, to enter upon an in
Yestigati0n and determination of the
Justice and reasonableness of such In
crease, and IN case 1t deems It ex-
pedient, TO suspend the operation
thereof for a period specified in the
section to enable it to complete such
investigation. That bill. however, pro-
vides that the act shall take effect and
be in force only from and after the
expiration of sixty days after its pas
sage.
This provision. II allowed to remain
in the bill, would enable carriers, be-
tween the time OF the enactment Of
the bill and the time of its taking ef-
feet, to file Increases in rates which
would become effective at the expira-
ton of thirty days and remain In eff
feet and be collected from the public
during the tendency Of proceedings
TO review them, whereas, IL the bill
be made to take effect Immediately,
such investigation viii have TO be made
before the public Is called upon to pay
the increased rates.
/, therefore, recommend that this
latter provision be modified by pro-
viding that at least section of the
Senate amendment TO the bill, which
is the question authorizing the COM
mission to suspend the going into eff
feet of increases IN rates until after
due investigation. shall take effect i'm
mediately upon the passage of the act.
