Tell Wilson and Interstate
Board War Has Added
Heavy Burdens.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-As n result OF
the visit here OF the delegation OF rail-
road presidents headed by Daniel Will
lard OF the Baltimore and Ohio. the Inter-
state Commerce Commission at the
earliest practicable date Will resume
consideration Of the advanced rate case
The railroad presidents, after having
told President Wilson that the con-
ditlons of the carriers constituted an
emergency OF unparalleled magnitude
and after having solicited his aid in
solving the difficulties, went to the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
there held a conference lasting an hour
and half with Commissioners Glenn
ents, McChord, Clark and Daniels.
Then the statement was authorized
that the railroad presidents will at
once and in the most expeditions man
ner carry into effect the suggestions or
recommendations recently made by the
commission in its advanced rate de-
cision.
President Willard informed THE Sun
representative tonight that no time
would be lost in beginning the work.
He left with his associates on mid
night train for New York TO see that
everything is in order to carry out
the plans decided upon.
Th1 railroads as starter WIN pre-
pare tariffs making charges for all
services which the commission says are
now being performed free.
Left Inquiry Open.
As set forth in THE Sun this morning
the commission in its recent decision
only dismissed the tariffs in the adj
vance rate case and left open the in
uuiry which 1t had started on its initia-
tive into the amount of railroad adj
vanCes needed in the Eastern territory
The expectation here IL that the rail-
roads will be In a position to bring
something definite before the commits
sion in "A week or ten days and ask for
a consideration of the entire question
of freight rates in the Eastern territory
in the light of developments since the
advance rate decision was handed down
There is no doubt here now that speedy
considera ton will be given by the COM
mission.
This Is the formal statement Issued
by the commission following the con-
ference:
1.-THE committee of railroad execu-
tives after their call on the Presi-
dent this morning met in informal
conference those members of the
Interstate Commerce Commission in

handed copy of their address to

general situation, especially as al

as to any practicable means of af-
fording relief to which the carriers
may be entitled and which the COM
mission can lawfully grant"
To Open wilson's Eyes.
The main purpose OF the railroad
presidents in coming 10 the White House
was to bring to the President "A full
realization OF the extraordinary situa-
ton now confronting the railroads OF
the country.
They requested that the President do
two things Immediately In an effort to
amellorate these dangers They were
FIrst-That the President call the
attention of the country to the
pressing necessity for support OF
railroad credit by the cooperative
and sympathetic effort OF the public
and OF all governmental authorities
and that the railroads be relieved as
far as possible OF further immediate
burdens involving additional ex-
pense.
Second-That the President will
urge a practical recognition of the
fact that an emergency Is upon the
railroads which requires in the pub
lie interest that they have ad-
ditional revenue and that the ap-
propriate governmental agencies
seek a way by which such additional
revenues may DO properly and
promptly provided.
The complaint which the road presi-
dents brought to the White House was
that Of a horse too long hard driven
beneath an overwhelming load. Notice
was served that unless the burden be
lightened and the pace slowed down
M - -. =.
The President promised to give the
matter earnest consideration. with the
consent OF the President the following
statement was given out by the railroad
men.
Committee's Statement.
With the Presidents approval the
committee issued this statement:
THE purpose of this conference is
to lay before the President in brief
terms the present situation of the rail-
roads of the United States-250 900
miles of great national highways That
the case of the railroads deserves
sympathetic treatment arises from the
TACT tndt, although privately OWn'u
their property is devoted to public ser
vice.
THE industrial health OF the country
depends upon an adequate railroad SER
vice; such service cannot be rendered
and proper response to public needs
cannot be made unless the financial
soundness of the railroads is main
tanned.
1.-The credit Of the railroads. seriously
impaired as we believe before the war
started, is now confronted by an emer-
gency Of a magnitude without parallel
in history.
ITO understand the fun import OF the
existing crisis It is necessary TO con-
slider briefly the antecedent conditions
The purpose here Is not to complain
but to point out the one paramount fact
that by reason Of legislation and regu-
lation by the Federal Government and
the forty-eight States. acting independ-
entity of each other as well as through

Carriers, Facing Great Crisis
Ask President to Urge Re-
lief for Them.

the action Of strong public opinion,
railroad expenses In recent years have
vastly increased.
mo criticism Is here made Of the
general theory Of Governmental regu-
lation, but, on the other hand, no in
genuity can relieve the carriers OF the
burden of expense created thereby
however desirable may have been the
expenditures which have been forced
upon the railroads.
This great increase In expenses now
comedies with seriously depleted rev.
enues with no corresponding ability Of
the railroads to reduce their costs in
proportion. Governments can proceed
with expenditures of all kinds by taxa
ton. but railroads cannot. While the
effect of the European war upon rail-
road earnings may vary in different
sections. It is painfully evident that
there will be serious decreases in the
total because Of the unprecedented diff
ficulties in the marketing of cotton, the
great decrease In imports. and the gen.
eral dislocation OF trade and industry.
Even prior to the existing emergency
and to meet the antecedent situation,
railroad expenditures generally had been
reduced to absolute necessities. The
difficulty OF further contraction Is I'M
changed by existing wage agreements.
Big Drop In Income.
fhe net Operating income of tfs
railroads of the United States for the
year ended June 80, 1914. was $780,
600, 900 less than for the previous year,
or about 10 per cent. The gross earn
ings for the year were $4,000 less
than for 1913. Expenses and taxes were
SIC, 10000 more.
The railroads may have the most
perfectly appointed plants in the world.
but II the net earnings are not ade-
quate new capital cannot be attracted.
I'm the important Eastern rate case,
the Interstate Commerce Commission
unanimously found that the railroads
in the richest section OF the country
needed more revenue. That finding
was based upon the situation prior to
the first OF July, this year; indeed, upon
conditions of the year previous.
mo emphasis need at this time be
put upon the new railroad capital
which has heretofore been required to
provide for normal developments but
this has been from $500 .0O0, 900 to $780,
900, 600 per annum, and railroads should
not only De aDle 10 keep ABREAST or the
times, but should even in this emer-
gency, he in a position to anticipate the
demands Of an expanding commerce.
simultaneously with the great i'm
pairment of earnings. general credit
conditions have broken down. and the
absolute and immediate necessities Of
both public and private borrowers of
money here and abroad have already
