Eastern Railroads Seek Fed
eral Permission.
FAIL TO ATTRACT CAPITAL
Complain That They Are Hit by the
High Cost Of Living, but Unlike
Others They Are Not Permitted to
Adjust Their Charges.

Washington, Nov. 25-Railroads of
&be country have felt the burden OF
the increased cost of living, like ali
ether enterprises or individuals, "but
tniike all others have not been per-
Ditted SO far to raise their prices or
adjust their charges in recognition
OF that burden" Daniel Willard,
president Of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, said in arguing before the
Interstate commerce commission for
authority to increase freight rates
approximately per cent in the ter
r1tory east of the Mississippi and
north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers.
Referring to the refusal of the
commission in 1910 to grant 10 per
cent increase and the promise to re-
Investigate the rate question in the
1Dture should conditions warrant it,
Mir. Willard asserted that operation
~f the railroads during the last three
years was not such as to inspire con-
Hdence of private capital or encour-
age the support of private enterprise.
1T is a mistake to think that the
problem is merely a question of divi-
Gkends to railroad stockholders, al
HhOugh that feature is, of course, in
viewed
Problem of Great Import.
THE problem in a broad and true
sense affects all interests, and the
sntcome of this particular case
whichever way it is decided-will
mark an epoch, because it will
In effect, very largely determine
whether we shall as in the past con-
tInue to look to private capital and
private enterprise for our transporta-
ti9n requirements, or be compelled
finally to accept the only alternative
possible"
In presenting the facts upon which
The railroads rely to prove the neces-
sity for an increase in rates, Mr. Will
hard asserted that during the last
three years the railroads in the ter
Ek0ry affected had spent in proper
~ investments $600,000,000, or at the
rate of $20O,000,000 per year. Never
theless, he added, because of the
tact that operating expenses had in
eSeased faster than operating reve-
nfles these railroads earned in the
year ending June 80, 1913, less by
$16,311,321 than for the year ending
fne 80, 1910.
Should the commission grant the
Authority for the increase by Eastern
reads it may extend the authority to
The other railroads of the country.
