Those Who Believe War Will

Make Statement

WASHINGTON, Dec. l9.-The 90
eastern railroads granted a five per
cent increase in freight rates will lose
no time filing new tariffs" IL was
stated at the interstate commerce
commission today. AS soon as the
traffic experts OF the roads can pre-
pare the schedules the commission ex-
poets them TO be filled here.
Estimates OF the amount OF addi-
tional money the new tariffs will yield
the railroads vary from $25,000,000 TO
Sl00, 900, 900 revenue annually. Those
who believe the European war is az
fecting the internal business OF the
United States make the lower esti-
mate, while others who see a boom"
in business in the country make great
predictions. An official who has been
I'm close touch with the case stated
the amount OF money this decision
would yield the railroads depends en-
tirely upon the movement of freight,
which, he said, because of uncertain
international business conditions, no
one could estimate with a degree OF
certainty.
Members of the interstate commerce
commission would not comment upon
the decision today. They feel that
they have given careful and painstak-
ing consideration to every phase OF
the question and that they have arriv-
ed at conclusion that is reasonable
and just to both the railroads and the
slippers.
While railroads have been advised
In the orders Of the commission that
they must give 10 days notice before
the new rates are to become effective,
they can file their new tariffs with the
commission any time within six
months. II was stated today.
