Washington, d. C. - Further In.
erssses In freight rates were granted
Saturday to the Eastern railroads By
the Intsrstats Commercs commissfou
In : decision from which Chairman
Harlan and Commissioners Clcmsnts
disssnted vigorously.
With the exception Of lake and-rail
trnfiic, coal, coke, iron ore and certain
other traffic on which the commission
has hsrstofore fixed rates sdjudicatsd
reasonable, all the railroad systems
operating between the Atlantic SEA-
board and the Mississippi north Of the
Potomac and Ohio rivers were allowed
TO make the fat s per cent increase
for which they have been asking for
the last four years.
The roads hoped to get increases
which would add to the annual revenue
some 800, 000,00 The commissions
decision IL expected to give them ad-
ditional revenue approximsting $780,
900, 900.
The roads east Of 3 north-and-south
line drawn through Buffalo. Pittsburq
and Charleston, W. Va, won by the
decision the increases, other than on
tho trafiic expected. which were
denied them In the commissions de-
cision last August. The roads west Of
this line, which obtained partial sd-
vsnces In the August decision. received
further advances, 30 that now all the
roads In what Is described As "official
classification territory" will enjoy uni
form advances In both class and COM
modify rates.
In Its decision the majority Of the
commission held that the roads had a.
Isblished In the latest hearings
greater need Of additional net income
han ever before. This was due. IN
part, to oxigencies which arose out OF
he war In Europe, and In part to the
already existing necessity, in the judQ
nent OF the commission, for addition
u revenues to maintain the railroad
properties.
Chairman Harlan, In his dissenting
opinion, held that sufficient aid had
'een given the roads by the decision
4 August last, and that the findines
4 the majority were morally wrong"
Commissioner Clements based his
issention what he regarded as the in
bility In law, Of the commission to |
AXE cognizsnce Of everything in the
making OF rates other than their JUS
Ice and reasonableness.
Traffic on which no increase was al |
owed by the commission represents
bout 90 per cent of the entire volume
4 freight handled by the roads. Coal,
oke and iron ore. however, are bulky
taking low rates, conse-
uently the amount Of revenue derived
rom them is relatively small.
The coal roads, in the opinion of the
commission, already are profitable.
