RELIEF IN SIGHT
FOR RAILROADS

The interstate commerce icommission
on Monday afternoon will issue an
order affording a certain measure of
relief for the railroads in what is known
as official classification territory as a
result of its consideration of the per
cent advance in rate cases.
Coupled with its declaration that the
net receipts Of the railroads in this ter
ritory are too low, the commission will
criticise the roads for extravaganza and
wasteful methods, and will rebuke them
for attempting to create public opin-
ion against the commission in order to
force favorable action upon the request
for an increase in rates.

Effects EI e-y Citizen.

The decision of the commission will
be of direct Importance not only to the
railroads, but to every citizen. 1t is
estimated that the roads throughout the
country haul annually about twelve tons
for every man, woman and child in the
United States.

Washington. April S.--W. C. Max
well, general traffic mnrager OF the
Wabash, at the hearing before the in
terstate commerce commission today
on the proposed increase In freight
rates, declared that per cent ad-
vance would only afford partial relief
to the carriers and save the situation
for a time.
The situation in central freight as
sociation territory" he said. as bad
and growing worse.
Il am confident that the per cent
advance would not meet our needs. II
would save the situation for time for
am satisfied that most of our CEN
trail freight association roads will not
be able to survive under existing rates.
A per cent advance would be insult
ficfent and for railroads In our terri
tory to keep out OF the hands of re-
ceivers and prosper it would be neces-
sary to readju!, and bring up to a
higher level all rates.
III the advance should be granted II
would afford partial relief. That should
be followed by Joint action OF the In
terstate commerce commission and
authorities Of the various states, for Il
readjustment Of the entire rate situ-
alton in central freight association ter
ritory."

Panama tolls fight, determined to
maintain an unyielding position until
the end of the controversy. Tho the
house bill to repeal toll exemption for
American ships is resting In tho
committee on interoceanic canals there
were many Informal conferences during
the day relating to the issue. and
among the developments was visit Of
Secretary Of State Bryan at the capt.
tol in the interest OF the administration
policy.
NO compromise" was the slogan OF
the administration leaders In their con-
ferences. SO many bills and resolutions
have been introduced tending to cloud
the plain issue Of repeal that 1t has
been determined to make 1t plain from
the outset that no temporizing is to
be countenanced.
President Wilson told inquirers that
he expected no factional delay or fili-
clustering and had every reason to be-
lieve from what senators told him that
there would be q prompt report from
the committee.
The president said there We're one
or two members of~the committee who
were against the repeal but who. he
understood, would vote to bring the
question promptly before the senate
in an early report. Incidentally. the
president took occasion to deny pub
Hshed reports that he had sent any
ultimatun to the senate th:" Senator
Owen or any one else with view TO
forcing early action.
He had done nothing. he said. along
this line. He added that no proposals
for compromise or change In the re-
peal message had been brought to MIN
and significantly suggested that
amendments were not being onered
by administration leaders.
The president has more than once
made plain that he believed 1t the duty
of the American congress to repeal the
tolls exemption without equivocatlon
or evasion and that he was against any
amendment He told callers frahklF
that, while he did not expect obstruc :
tive tactics in the senate, ne expecteu

but was confident the repeal bill Wouid
pass.
The president declared no proposals
for a caucus had been mentioned to
him. Reports were In circulation To-
day that an effort might be made 70
force the repeal bill into n caucus, pu1
these rumors were promptly denleo
democratic leaders asserting that
ca,cus waild not be necessary, at the
same time insisting that there Is no
doubt that the repeal bill will have II
safe majority when the vote Is taken.
1t was pointed out that such demo-
cratic senator's as O'Gorman ana
Chamberlain, who are openly and url-
yieldingly opposed to toll exemption
repeal could not go into caucus de-
signed to bind them.
