DECISION AWAITED
 ON TWO QUESTIONS
Western Railroad and Freight Rate Cases to Be Solved This After
 noon at Washington.

Washington, Aug. 1.-Coincidentally two questions of great moment to the railroad and financial world were awaiting decision here this afternoon. Arrangements had been made for President Wilson to confer at D. m., with the managers of ninety-eight western railroads threatened with a strike of 55,00O enginemen and fire men; at D. m., the interstate com merce commissions decision in the rate case was expected and at D. m., the president was to confer with rep resentatives of the men employed on the western roads.
 It was announced today at the in teTstate commerce commission, That every effort would be made" to pub fish the decision in the eastern freight case this afternoon.
 The announcement, signed by the secretary of the commission, was post ed at the general offices and it was said it would stand for the day. An ticipating attempts to forecast the decision, officials said any reports pur- porting to give the commissions con- clusions in the noted case would be wholly unauthorized and speculative.
 The decision, affecting 52 railroad systems, east of the Mississippi and north of the Potomac and Ohio rivers in what is designated official classi- fication territory, has been under con- sideration several months and an an- nouncement has been expected from day to day for the last six weeks. At one time July had been set as ten- tative date for the announcement but the commission found itself in diffi- culties in agreeing upon all points and retraced it's steps reconstructing the decision almost entirely and in fact writing it anew on many phases.
 The railroads have asked the in- crease solely on the ground that their revenues have become insufficient to meet the increasing cost of wages and other expenses. Opposition to the increase has been conducted on the ground that the railroads would have sufficient revenue without in- creasing charges to the public by con serving their revenue with greater ef- ficiency and eliminating free ser vices to large shippers.
