Of Efficiency Needed by

Instead Of Increased Freight

In Brief Filed With Interstate Com

Washington, Jan. Higher stand
ards of efficiency, not increased freight
charges. are the paramount needs to-
day of American railways.
This proposition is the essence of tn,
brief filed today with the Interstate
Commerce Commission by Louis Bran
deis of Boston. counsel for the traffic
committee at commercial organizations
of the Atlantic e'thoard, in the invcS-
tigation by the commission at the pro-
posed advances in freight rates by car

Mississippi ana north OF the OHIO and
Potomac rivers. Railroad managers,
Mr.. Brandeis contends, in an effort to
meet existing needs. should not look
without but within.
If their net income is insufficient,
he said. THE proper remedy is not
higher rates resulting in higher costs
and lessened business, but scientific
management, resulting in lower costs
in higher wages and increased bust
ness. If their credit is impaired. the
proper remedy is not to apply the de
lusive stimulant of higher rates. but t.

1t is maintained, in the conclusion
of this part of the brief, that AT least
81 900, 900 Il day could be saved by the
pursuit. of methods OF scientific man
agement' of American railroads.
In response to the contention of the
railroads that the proposed increase in
| class rates are reasonable, Mr.. Bran
| leiS urges that no evidence was pre-
scented to sustain the contention; that
no increase in any class rate properly
can be made without giving the ship
pers an opportunity to be heard and
that the pending increases were fixed
without affording the shippers such an
opportunity. He argues further that
The injustice and inequality in the
existing classifications are such that
no horizontal advance in rates could
be made without great hardship to the
shippers in communities affected; that
the proposed increase seriously dis
torts. on some railroads, the relation
of long distance to short distance traf
tiC: that the imposition of nearly the
Y hole burden OF the increased rates
upon class rates appears to be unjust;
that the proposed increase would seri-
ouslY contract the market of the manu~
tatturers and merchants Of the ATTAIN
tic Seaboard; that it would seriously
increase the cost Of liNing. and that it
would reduce the volunl" OF long2sis-
lance tonnage and hence the expected
gross reveEac of the railroads..
As To the argument of the railroads,
that they need additional revenues on
account of required increases in wages,
MI FrGEdeiS submits three PROPOSE
tiors:
"First-Sonie railroads, at least. do
not need additional incomes.
"Second-m some railroads, any ex-
listing need of additional income is due
to causes other than wage increases
| OF acts of Congress.
"Third-Every railroad which is proper
! ly undertaken and financed can meet ans
! existing needs without rate incredses,
| through the introduction of scientific
| management" ks
In support of these propositions. facts
and figures from official reports of the
railroads themselves are cited by Mr..
Braindeis as taken from the testimony
