RAILROAD RATES TOO LOW.
URGE NEED OF MORE MONEY
FOR SERVICE.
Representatives of Many Limos
Call on Commerce Commission to
Make Increase.

Washington, Nov. 24.-That rail-
road earnings are not commensurate
with the increased cost of operation,
higher taxes and wages and condi-
tions and equipment necessary to meet
the commercial demands Of the coun-
try was submitted today to the inter-
state commerce commission by rep
resentatives of the railroads arguing
for a general increase Of per cent
in freight rates.
The claim held by railroads operat.
ing in the territory east Of the Mis-
sissippi and north of the Ohio and
Potomac rivers was upheld in a pre-
liminary outline Of the railroad situa-
ton by Daniel Willard, president of
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, rep
resenting for the occasion the Eastern
roads. and Frederick a. Delano, pres
ident of the Wabash railroad, on be-
half Of the Central Traffic association.
Statistics tending to show the cur
tailment of earnings as compared to
increased costs were submitted by an
accounting committee composed of c.
M. Bunting, comptroller of the Penn
sylvania railroad; w. c. Wishart, stat
istican Of the New York Central lines;
w. II. Williams, third vice president
of the Delaware & Hudson company;
c. p. Crawford, comptroller Of the
Erie railroad, and George III. Shiver,
second vice president Of the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad.
President willard in an opening
statement asserted that railroads in
the territory concerned had expended
in property investments in the last
three years $6OO,OOO.OOO, and that
in the year 1913 the earnings were
$16,311, 1921 less than for the year
1910. He argued that the per cent
increase applied for was not as much
as the railroads were entitled to ana
in this be was supported by President
Delano, who argued for the railroads
in central territory, and urged that
in fixing rates the commission should
regard no particular territory. Fig
ures for the first two months of the
present year, Mr.. Delano said, were
less encouraging even than the re-
suits since 1910, when an appeal for
10 per cent increase in rates was
denied.
