MUST CONSERVE REVENUES.
President Rea Secs Beginning Of Broad
Constructive Policy.

President Rea Secs Beginning Of 4road
Constructive Policy.
Philadelphia, Dec. 10. President
Rea. of the Pennsylvania railroad. said
today he regarded the freight rate de-
cision as the beginning Of broad con.
structive policy in railroad regulation.
The statement said:
II regard this decision as the begin
ming of a broad constructive policy in
railroad regulation so imperatively re-
quired. II indicates that the commis-
sion has been seriously impressed by
actual condition. and we recognize that
the commission has carefully consid-
cred the entire situation and rendered
what 1t believes to be fair and cQult-
able decision.
The decision, however. granted an
increase on about so per cent OF the
freight business OF our system. There
fore, the railroads. as the commission
emphasizes, must continue their efforts
to conserve and augment their rev.
enues.
I'VE desire prosperity, but II Is i'm.
possible for the country to prosper
while railroad revenues and credits
are inadequate and therefore the in
creased rates should be generally help
full. We will utilize the additional rev.
enue in keeping our lines and equip
ment in good condition 20 render the
public the best possible public service
and in sustaining our credit on sound
basis. The federal government should
III the same spirit award the railroads
the admittedly just compensation fc.
the carriage of mails and parcel post
and the citizens should see to Il that
legislatures, federal and state, should
relieve the railroads Of enforced need
less expenditures"
