EASTERN ROADS MAY ASK
GENERAL RATE ADVANCE
Preparing to Place Before /. O. O.
Program to Provide Relief From
Financial Troubles.
CONFERENCE IN WASHINGTON
Question of Specific Increases Not
Taken Up, Discussion Centcring
Almost Wholly on Tcclinicalitics OF
Procedure Involved.
tBy Associated prcssl

WASHINGTON, October lT.--Eastcrn
railroads are preparing to place be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion a program to provide general re-
lief from their financial difficulties.
Executives OF the roads so notified the
commission to-day when they appeared
in connection with proposed increased
rates on a long list OF commodities
not included in the raise granted in the
Is per cent rate advance case last
June.
What form the railroads program
will take was not disclosed, although
it was broadly intimated that the COM
mission would be asked to authorize a
general rate advance.
Notifications of the roads intention
was incidental to conference among
the commission, the roads. shippers,
State railway commissioners and other
interested parties. at which the aues-
ton of specific advances was taken up.
The broad features of the whole rate
revision program remained in the
Background. Discussion conferred al
most wholly on the technicalities OF
procedure involved in obtaining what
the roads characterized as temporary
relief.
ASK INCREASED RATES
on MANY COMMODITIES
This temporary relief. the commits
sion was told, was desired in the form
of increased rates on a long list of
commodities. chil OF which are live
stock. dressed meats. petroleum, grain
and grain products. sand, stone, cement
and copper. The proposed increases
would apply to traffic east Of the Mis-
sissippi and north of the Ohio Rivers.
They would not affect. except indirectly
and by combination. rates in other
sections OF the country.
After the commission disposed last
June OF the IS per cent case the roads
in many instances promptly filed indi-
vidual tariffs. proposing virtually the
same increases that had been denied
The docket has many such applica-
tons. and n number OF the proposed
tariffs are under suspension.
Chairman Hall. of the commission.
suggested at the close Of the hearing
that the roads notify the commission
formally of what they desire in the
way of temporary increases, and said
the commission would confer over
methods of procedure suggested and
communicate it's decision to tho roads.
Representatives of shippers asked
that they also be notified of further
in the case. Chairman
Hall told them it would be done.
