EASTERN RAILWAYS

INTERSTATE COMMERCE COM.
MISSION PERMITS s PER CENT
RAISE IN RATES.
TWO COMMISSIONERS DISSENT
Conditions Caused by War Recognized
an Just Cause for Higher Tar
iffs--Additional Revenue
Reaches $5o,ooo,oo0

Washington, ID. C.--The inter
state commerce commission has
granted the application Of eastern rail-
roads for flat increase Of per cent
IN freight rates, except upon coal,
coke, iron ore and lake and rail"
doint shipments. Increased revenues
of about $50,OOO,0O0 to the railroads,
numbering about 1875 affected, are
expected.
/ Increases in rates on cement, starch,
brick, tile clay and plaster, denied in
she former applications, were granted
under certain limitations.
Generally, the commission held:
Joint rates between official CLASH
fication territory Uhe easD on the
one hand and southeastern territory,
the southwest and points on east OF
the Missouri river on the other may
be increased not to exceed per cent
of the division Of the rate accruing to
she carriers in official classification
territory. If those increases involve
a change in the relationship under the
hong and short haul rule between in-
teTmediate points and more distant
points outside OF official classification

Mon of the act must first be secured
on regular application.
The conflict in Europe" said the
commission, will doubtless create
unusual demand upon the worlds loan
fund of free capital, and may be ex-
bected to check the flow OF foreign
znvestment funds to American rail-
roads. 1t appears that our railroads
represent the bulk of European in
Kestment in this country. The rate of
&nterest-the hire OF capital-has
risen during the last decade, and may
Gise still further. 1t Is computed that
I'm the years 1915 to 1917 the carriers
must arrange for the payment or re-
funding Of securities aggregating over
$500.000,000.
