MEMBERS UNDECIDED YET

wAsniNuroN, March 1e.--Remarks
made by President Wilson on the rail-
road situation to-day were interpreted
generally as strengthening the impression
that ne favors the granting to the rail-
roads of the proposed per cent. increase
in freight rates. The President has made
IL clear. however. that he has no thought
Of committing the improperly Of seeking
TO interfere with the Interstate Commerce
Commission in the consideration of evil
dcnce In this important case.
TIE Presidents position. although more
clearly indicated to-day than ever before,
has been understood for some time. His
first reference to the conditions confront
Ing the railroads In his annual address to
Congress was regarded as favorable to
the increase.
This impression was strengthened by an
informal statement made by him In "A con-
versation several weeks ago and to-day's
authoritative report OF another CONVERSE
ton is viewed as removing practically all
doubt as to what the Presi dents wishes
are.
The President has no authority in law
to participate In any way In the DELHI
erations of the commission and any at
tempt to influence them in their Judgment
would obviously be improper. II Is ad
mitted, however, that the President has
had Informal conferences with members
Of the commission since the rate Increase
has been under discussion and that he
has spoken frankly on matters taken UP.
Mr.. Wilson has heard much talk Of the
uncertainty that exists IN the railroad
world and is deeply impressed with the
need FOR clarifying the conditions under
which the managers OF the roads must
work In the immediate future. He appar-
entity accepts as fact the statement that
the operating expenses OF the roads have
increased with a rapidity entirely incom-
mensurate with the increase in their gross
revenues
The Presidents attitude was expressed
BY the declaration that he t. giving con-
sideration to the needs of the roads a.
every point where he can help AZ all.
Despite the extent to which the Presi-
dents views are known. considerable
commiss ION toward the petition for in
strength here that the members OF the
on the subject until a determination can
be reached upon the total Increase In reve-
nues which would result from discontinue
ing allowances and free services such as
"spottlng" freight cars.
Many members of the commission are
said TO hold the view that the levying OF
fair charges for the services would bring
the operating revenues To "A point hisn
enough to make "a horizontal increase In
freight rates unnecessary.
