The presidents plan in some of its
aspects had been approved by the con
ference OF the select committee of rail
road heads, but others of them found
weak points in the proposals made by
the chief executive. They pointed out
last night that, while the final decision
has been postponed, the feeling is that
some parts of the presidents plan are
impracticable. They asserted that the
proposal to increase freight rates, il

The attitude of the big shippers
throughout the country is also having
its effect upon the railroad heads. The
suggestion that the roads be allowed
to recoup themselves by raising their
rates has drawn scores of protests
from all parts of the country and
from all classes of shippers.
The shippers declare that the inter
state commerce commission has re
peatedly refused to permit any In
crease of rates, as asked by the rail
roads, and that the business of the
country will not bear the additional
load such an increase would mean.
