RATES ARE
NOT HIGH
Western Rates Should Be
Advanced, Says Thayer
OF Pennsylvania

Ncw York, Sept. 12-John A. Thay-
or ,.ice-prcsident of the Pennsylvania
railroad today told the Interstate
Commerce commission, which is in
ouirinr into the question of the tar
IFS by the eastern roads, that the
rates between the cast and west have
been for years toe low and that the
tariffs should have been raised in
1908.
The adjustment was delayed until
the depression had passed the wit
ness said,
Mr.. Thayer said that passenger
rates were not compensatory Tor the
service rendered. but that the pub.
lie. through its legislatures. would
not stand for advance in through
passenger rates. lie said that Tic
rates on through traffic had been too
low in comparison with local rates,
Considering the matter OF freight
tariffs. Mr.. Thayer said.
"a car of first class freight from
New York or Boston. LOO miles to
Chicago, would, at high speed, bring
burg to New York, less than half the

"On everything from Boston TO Chi
cago. We only get 90 cents a hundred
pound6 and have TO pay the New Hav-
en- railroad 20 per cent OF It for
bringing IL to Jersey City"
Mr. Thayer said Ia conclusion
THE estimated increase Of this ed
vance on lines cast of Plttsburg -
$1,000 900. which is a large sum. 1t
must be remembered, as far as the
Pennsylvania Railroad company Is
concerned, that we deal with very
large and huge figures and after all
that the amount only represented .
$40 per cent Of our gross earnings
from freight traffic and ] 6-10 PEI
cent OF our total gross earnings from
all sources, 30 that II Is not a large
standard advance in our opinion. but
