the eastern railroads the ) per cent
rate advance for which they asked.
although it qualified the application Of
the increase 10 such an extent that
the railroads get little more than half
the relief they demanded
1t was estimated by the carriers
that a per cent increase in all rates
without exception would give them
about S50.00000O year. 1t was esti-
mated on Friday by an official OF the
interstate commerce commission that
the maximum relief that the railroads
will get from the decision will be $780,
100000, and this includes the returns
from the increased passenger rates
that they have been permitted to put
into effect.
The five commissioners who pre-
pared the majority opinion give as
their reasons for granting the ad.
