RAILROADS LIKELY
TO GET INCREASE
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Convinced BY Evidence.
SHOWING SEEMS CONCLUSIVE
Early Decision Urged In Order That
the Present Uncertainty May
Be Ended and Business
Stimulated.

Washington. ID. C.-The impression
is becoming more widespread every
day that the Interstate Commerce
Commission will grant the Eastern
railroads substantial increase in
rates as result Of the convincing
testimony submitted by them since
per cent advance case was begun.
Carriers involved may not receive
the full per cent they have asked
for II Is quite probable that a blanket
order to this effect will not be issued.
but an Increase that viii go far toward
meeting the financial needs of the rail-
roads seems to be assured.
And If the full amount involved in
the present proceedings Is denied by
the commission the reason will be. il
is now believed, that the commissions
ers have effected savings in other di-
rections which, they hope, will com.
pensate the roads through the con-
seryatlon OF the revenue received un.
der the present rate status.
For instance, the commission has
conducted a Simultaneous inyestiga-
tion into the free or cheap service
given by common carriers to private
lines, to tap lines, I'm switching, In
spotting cars and in handling OF
freight at terminals All these ele.
ments have been brought into associa.
tion with the advance asked for and
they promise to play an important
part in the findings of the board
Representatives of the carriers who
have appeared before the commission
have readily granted the importance
OF the inquiry into these side issues,
They have welcomed any readjustment
OF the relations Of the railroads to the
private lines and terminal companies
that Will save their companies money.
but they have never agreed that the
sum involved in this free service is
large enough TO meet the exactions
outlined in the pending case.
The commission is under direct pres.
sure and influence from every quarter
TO render its decision at the earliest
practicable moment The carriers are
for expedition. The whole business
world, in fact, is urging that the pres
ent uncertainty be ended at the earliest
possible moment
Practically all testimony. for and
against the railroads, has been SUBJ
mitted. The arguments will be short
and the briefs will be easily digested
There seems no likelihood, therefore.
that the doubt in this quarter Will con.
tlnue much longer.
