lard. president of the Baltimore &

presidents committee of railroads in

annual dinner of the Traffic Club of
Pittsburg tonight, argued for higher
freight rates and John Barrett, direc-
tor general of the Pan-Ameriean
Union, sounded a note of warning in
Connection with the Panama canal
Present at the dinner were many i'm
portant railroad executives from New
York, Chicago and other transporta-
ton representatives.
ut has gradually come about that
under existing conditions rates in eff
feet in official classification territory
do not yield sufficient revenues to
properly meet the situation said Mr.
willard ut has been shown to the
Interstate Commerce Commission that
IS roads in official classification ter
ritory have added to their property
investment since 1910 for additional
facilities and equipment over soo9'ooo,-
600 but as a result or operations IN
1913 although the gross earnings were
$ls6,775,000 greater than in 1910, the
net earnings, after paying operating
expenses and taxes were slo,sll,ooo
less than in 1910, showing that not
only had these companies failed to
earn any return on the newly invest
ed capital. but they had 1851, ooo less
net as returns upon previous invest
ments. 1t is unnecessary to say that
no business enterprise can continue
on such a basis
"It has been stated that the grow
ing need of the country's commerce
will require an additional eXpendi-
ture by the railroads for equipment
and facilities of upwards of billion
dollars a year for some years, Inc
only way in which such money can
be obtained is through private enter
prise and railroad investment must
be made sufficiently attractive to Sc
cure new capital else development
will cease and nothing can more ef-
fectually wreck the growth OF com
merce than insufficient transportation
facilities"

Pan American commerce." Mr.. Bar
rett said in part:
THE issue of the canal tolls which
is now engaging Washington and the
country is absolutely unimportant ana
secondary as far as actual trade con-
ditions are concerned, when compared
to the Importance of practical steps
to use the canal for the upbuilding
of the export and import traffic of
