WILSON TALKS WITH
Ice. HEAD ON RATES
President Is Believed to Have
Asked Clark to Expedite
Boards Finding.

4 suggestion that the Interstate Com
merce Commission expedite as far as
possible its decison relative to the re-
quest of the Eastern railroads for \ .
per cent increase in freight rates is I'M
derstood to have been made by Presi-
dent Wilson this morning to Edgar L.
Clark. chairman Of tile commission.
Chairman Clark went to the White
House at the invitation Of the President,
and although neither Mr.. Clark nor the
White House would make public the
matters under discussion. it is under
stood that the matter Of freight rates
was the topic considered.
The President Is understood to have
told the commissioner that while he had
no desire to influence the decision Of
the commission, nor to urge undue
haste, the matter was Of such wide
spread interest that unnecessary delay
was undesirable. Mr.. Clark. 1t Is be-
lieved. advised the President that while
1t has been announced that a decision
might be suspended until September,
with its task before that time. and
could. the moment q decision is reached
make 1t effective.
1t is assumed that Mr.. Clark told the
President that the present de'ay is due
to an unwillingness on the part of some
shippers to present their views until
after the railroads had finished sup
plying their data. Some months ago the
commission sent out to the various rail.
roads seeking the increase. lists of ques'
tions probing into the methods of Fl.
nancing which these roads had beer
adopting. and their present and pas'
methods OF operation and management
all with a view to ascertaining to what
extent the present conditions OF the
roads are due to mismanagement.
1t is this element of past management
that the commission feels itself bount
to consider in connection with any re
quest for an increase in rates. ever
though it might desire to grant the
boon that Is asked.
