The best of the 1000 licensed avia-

BIG EEK IS FOUND.
Railroads Lose SIS. 900, 900 = Year
Through Ffee Service.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Another de-
velopment was thrown today into the
freight rate case before the interstate
'commerce commission, in which the
So eastern railroads are seeking to
advance their charges five per cent,
when Commissioner Harlan an
nounced that the commission intend
ed to hold supplementary hearings
on the question Of fixing reasonable
charges for free services railway sys-
TENS now perform for large indus
trial plants. The recent decision in
the Industrial railways case indicated
that such services to so-called trusts,
not only cost the, railroad systems
about $15.ooo.ooo a year. but dis
eliminated against smaller industries.
|, Commissioner Harlan in formal
statement pointed out that the evil
dence SO far submitted tended to
show "a diminishing net revenue and
q diminishing. net income" for the
the roads. he said, proposed advances
ranging from three to fifty per cent.
Increased rates probably would at
ford additional revenues.
The commission, however, has set
for itself a broader inquiry in the
nues are shown to be inadequate,
what general course may carriers
pursue to meet the situation?"
After reviewing the free services
disclosed In the recent decision and
their cost to the railroads. the COM
missioner concluded by saying:
The proprfety of disseminating the
performance of these special services
without charge is manifestly a mat
ter that should receive immediate
consideration. It must not be under
stood that I am announcing any def
mite views for the commission on this
question Of free service. What 1 have
said is simply a point of view on
which the commission desires light.
What 1 intend to make clear is that
the commission must necessarily look
at the case from all points of view in
order that we may be in a position to
Indicate what course, in justice to the
