DECISION AIDS ROADS
RAIL HEADS PLEASED BY CON-
MERGE BopY's RULING.
Rate Increase VIII Relieve Distress
Of Firms by Making Up Deficit
In Their Earnings.

New York, Dec. 21.-That railroads
would be substantially aided by the
increased freight rates granted by the
interstate commerce commission was
the opinion generally expressed by
railroad officials in staten ents made
public here. President l.. F. Loree
OF the Delaware & Hudson said that
the rate increase will relieve the dis.
tress Of the railroads by making up a
deficit in their earnings. He did not
believe. however, that 1t would give
the roads any additional purchasing
power.
President A. H. Smith of the New
York Central lines and Howard FL
lott. president OF the New York, New
Haven & Hartford, EXPRESSED the
opinion that the commission in grant
ing the rate increase had recognized
the needs Of the railroads and the
necessity Of increasing rates.
TN its broad scope the increase
granted shows, in my opinion" said
George F. Brownell, vice-president
and general solicitor OF the Erie, that
the interstate commerce commission
had realized that the relief which the
commission previously thought could
be gained from other measures than
Increased freight trafic had been
made impossible by the results OF the
war and existing conditions"
Several bankers, brokers and men
whose interests are allied with the
railroads saw in the decision a senti-
mental benefit and a factor in main
tanning the confidence of investors
and business men.
