TRAFFIC MAN GIVES
REASONS FOR RATE
INCREASES
-Four Arguments Why Ad.
vances in Freight Charges
Should be Permitted Given
by Burlington Employe.

Chicago. March is.--Reasons why
the western railroads Wish TO increase
freight rates on livestock were given
by Conrad speus, assistant freight
traffic manager OF the Chicago, Bur
lington and quincy railroad. today at
the interstate commerce commissions
hearing of the western railroads Pc
tition for higher rates. The Increases
asked are for fraction OF a cent to
"a cents hundred pounds.
After testifying that livestock did
not contribute a proper proportion to
railroad revenue. based on the hign
cost Of transportation. Mr.. Spens
summed up the following reasons:
THAT the livestock industry In the
United States WAS practically AT a
standstill and therefore the railroads
could not expect increased revenue
through increased business lie said
this was borne out by figures furnish
ed 0y the department of agriculture.
That the railroads are compelled to
carry caretakcrs for livestock free;
and that on his road in 1914. 59.fSf
caretakers were carried free ~ cost
In transportation Of $4,000, or is
per cent OF freight earnings on the
trufilc.
That the damages paid on livestock
Is out OF proportion To the earnings
on that commodity. amounting on his
own road IN 1914 to x2fS.9OO and dam
ages for Injuries to caretakcrs $4,000
or i've pcr cent uf the revenue from
the tramc, while on other freight the
proportion was only 40 rer cent
That the value of the service TO the
shipper has increased, as shown in
the advanced price OF livestock.
lie said the Increase last year ai,
compared with ten years ago was.
cattle. 80 per cent. hogs, ~ per cent;
sheep. 20 per cent. and horses. i3
per cent. and hence the railroads
liaouity had increased without cor
responding increase In revenue.
Speus said the Burlington handled
less livestock ia 1914 than In any
other year in the last ten, excepting
1910 when the amount handled was
practically the same as In 1914.
