ASSERTS RAILROADS
UNDER WEATHER"
Frisco Receiver Declares State Com
missions Have Been Reducing
Rates as Punishment.
INNOCENT ARE SUFFERERS

CHICAGO, March James W.
Lusk, one of the receivers of the st.
Louis & San Francisco railroad,
testified today in the Interstate Com
merce commissions hearing of the
application of forty-one western rail
roads for increased freight rates. He
said that one reason why railroads
were not earning sufficiently was be-
cause various state commissions had
reduced their rates "as punishment
THE railroads of the United States are
under the weather" said Mr. Lusk. 1T
Is a fact you can't get away from. You
may attribute il to the European war,
the Mexican war. to politics or what you
will, the fact remains they are under the
weather. They say certain roads have
been looted and the state commissions
have reduced rates as punishment But
who does this huIt? You never hear of
any lootcrs being hurt, you never see any
looters going to Jail.
Innocent suffer.
"The innocent ones are hurt. the en-
ployes are laid off and the stockholders
fail to get dividends. Government control
of railroads has come to stay, and the
only way they can prosper or even live
Is for the railroad officials and govern
ment officials to deal frankly with one
another You should not attempt to
strangle the roads"
Isn't it fact that the continued talk
by railroad officials about depression in
business has tended to depreciate rail
ha Iaal ~ -
asked Luther Walker, representing the
meat packers, who are opposing the pro-
posed rates.
That is not true" replied Mr.. Lusk
MY belief is that the railroads have not
painted the situation bad enough They
have been afraid to hurt their credit
They have not been candid enough
That's why l say let's get together and
give the roads a fair deal
Mr.. Lusk said his own road had de-
faulted on $143, 10000 worth of bombs, but
had met obligations on 925OO,OO0 worth
of bonds. On February !, last he said,
the total cash on hand was $4,000,
Earnings of Road.
The earnings of the road amounted to
Ii per cent on a valuation of $4,000
mile of the 5000 miles, he said, and with
that income it was not possible for the
road to make such improvements as
seemed necessary for the public welfare
L. e. Wettling of Lincoln, Neb., statis-
tician for the railroads, submitted tables
purporting to show that while more
money was steadily put into the roads
In the last seven years, their earning
power at the present freight rates was
steadily decreasing
On a per cent basis, said the witness,
the roads were earning only on S. $4,000
900, leaving an investment of s2,Sl7 100000
upon which there was no income what
ever. Two sets of tables were introduced,
one showing the income and outgo of the
roads for tine seven years prior to 1908,
and the other showing the income and
outgo for the latter seven years the com
parison. the witness said, showed the po-
sition of the roads to be less favorable
now than they formerly were
