REGARDING the Rate Increase.

Apparently, If the commission has de-
cided that the railroads need more reve-
nue., It must offset what il planned to
get for them through the abolition OF
distribution of the Joint rate by direct
increase. Plainly the commission does
not mean to give an increase in rates
df moro revenue seems needfuD ana
then allow the roads to get what else
they can through abolishing allowances.
If certain allowances can be done away
with, what the railroads will save In
consequence is to be subtracted from

pears 10 those who have been following

be shown, however. that that body has

Circumstances are very different In the

whether the character Of work performed

there was a reactionary sentiment at the
start but after profit taking sales esti-

aggressive and the whole list firmed up
in sympathy with May, closing steady at
