REPORTED INCREASE OF
RATES IS QUESTIONED
CO Officials Say That Raise
is Impracticable at
Present.

Reported adjustment of rates by
many roads betkeen the Mississippi
and Atlantic seaboard because of in
creased operating expenses resulting
from increased wages and higher cost
of materials was doubted Thursday by
officials of the Chesapeake and Ohio
general freight department
"A general increase in rates is ex-
tremely unlikely at this time II was
stated, despite reports to the contra
ry The question of rates is entirely
commercial proposition. and it is
not at all likely that a reimbursement
to the advantage Of the roads could
be accomplished under existing cir
cumstances.'
Reports from Roanoke say that the
Norfolk and Western Is contemplating
a raise in Its rates, and similar re-
ports come from other quarters.
If the Chesapeake and Ohio and
other roads centertng in Richmond
have any such plans in view they are
not for the public at the present juno
ture.
