RATE INCREASES MAY
BE S15,OOO,OOO A YEAR
Reports From Washington That
Roads Win a Partial
Victory.

Dispatches 10 some Of the New York
newspapers printed hcre this morning give
what purports tn he a summary of the
forthcoming railroad rate decision. These
dispatches state that the Interstate Com.
merce Commission is favorable to the
roads in some respects and unfavorable
in o1lers. There will be no fiat per cent.
increase granted on any commodity or In
any class rate. The commission. how
ever. will permit increases In class rates
amounting to about i5.OOO.O0O n year.
The commission also will insist on ccono-
mics which are expected to save Eastern
lines probably $4,000, 600 a year.
Financial mlsmanGement Of many OF
the lines will be- cited as a reason why
efficiency and economy should take the
place Of additional revenue from rates
The comm lssion is said to condemn ex-
travapance and waste in the purchase of
railrold supplies
The commission evidently takes the
point OF view that Nat increase of J
per cent would have meant higher prices
10 the consumer. Accordingly the de-
cision will point out, 1t is said, that any
fall upon the consumer, and the consumer
would be warned against any dealer who
attempts to charge more for his goods by
reason of the decision. Specifically the
commission has denied all increases what
ever on commodities.
Summing up the practices of the roads
which when discontinued will net the
railroad companies at least s25. 1000. 900 a
year. the commission points to lghterage
In New York city and Chicago. loading
aud unloading of carload lots, free col
lections and deliveries, free wharfage and
dockage, free passes and transportation In
private cars, free switching OF cars. ser

The order OF the commission is ex-
pected to rebuke the railroads for their
attempts TO create II public sentiment in
favor of rate increase.

ERIE HEADS TALK
CAUSES A BOYCOTT
UnderwOOd's Structures on Auto
"Craze" Lead to Freight
Reprisal.

DETROIT. July is-when President
Underwood of the Erie Railroad Company
arrived at Milwaukee on Thursday of
this week he said in an interview. which
has received widespread publicity. that
he blamed the moving picture shows and
what he termed the Automobile craze"
for the hard times experienced in some
sections OF the country of late.
Some OF the local automobile manufac-
turers are taking exception to Mr.. Under
woods view OF the situation. The fol-
lowing is an order issued by the Abbott
Motor Car Company.
"To the Trdmc Department Of the abbott
Motor Cor Company:
ION Thursday Of this week President
Underwood of the Erie Railroad Company.
in an interview at Milwaukee, stated that
in his opinion moving picture shows and
the automobile craze as he termed 1t,
were Jointly responsible for the greater
part of the so-caled hard times.
we believe that such an attack upon
the automobile business by railroad Off
cial OF Mr. Underwood's standing at this
time is i'll advised in the extreme unwar-
ranted and manifestly unfair TO the auto
mobile manufacturers in particular, TO the
city Of Detroit in general and especially
to the 10000 skilled working people and
their families who find in the automobile
industry of Detroit worthy and salts
factory means Of livelihood.
"From what the head of the Erie Rail
way Company has stated II is evident that
there is a very considerable factor In the
management OF that system that Is. to
say the least, operating out OF harmony
with the best working interests of the
automobile.
I'VE believe, therefore. that freight and
express OF the Abbott Motor Car Com
pany. which since the organiza ton Of the
company few years ago has amounted
to n total of over 5000 carloads Of freight
and over $4,000 parcels OF express
should be divided among such railroads
only as maintain policies that are con-
structive in those things in which We are
particularly concerned.
please. therefore, from now on and
until further notice route all freight and
express shipments by the way of lines
other than those Of the Erie Railroad
Company. As a matter OF record a copy
of this order ia to be filed with the local.
State and national transportation clubs
and associations in which this concern has
membership,
