President \. W. PAUL of the asso-
citation, made the principal speech Of
the evening He said that during his
term of office for the past year he
had watched the progress made by
the association and the many things
il had accomplished; that the prfnci-
pal reason that much had been done
was due to the fact that the organi-
cation had a live wire at It's head;
that it was the manager who had
worked faithfully TO bring about re.
suits, assisted by his able corps and
the members Of the organization. Mr..
PAUL. declared that General Manager
Ketchum was the right man In the
right place. This remark prompted
applause. Mr.. PAUL in citing a few
of the achievements during tie past
year enumerated various special bu-
reaus and departments OF activities,
organization OF the Ohio Valley Cham
Der Of Commerce, the flood bureau
! and the traffic bureau. Mr.. PAUL SAID
! that all these things were done for
a bigger and better city, commercial
| ~. financially and socially
! Among the other speakers were Col.

! aGer Ferguson OF the Wheeling Brad

; ing the association working cooper

! ton.
! The ten questions submitted to the

. the things most needed In Wheeling
we're endorsed. 1t was declared by
/ the association last night that the
organization was willing and ready TO
help the administration carry out the
work. and TO work comparatively with
the administration in all its public
undertakings. The Greater Wheeling
project was also discussed last night
and a preliminary plan adopted.

dent Wilson told senators with whom
he conferred that az compromise
and to secure action upon the: food

to have congress clothe him With
such authority.
A copy OF the presidents letter to
the Anti-Saloon League leader was

toward a compromise. Tonight the

manded of the carriers for fnel
and supplies are reasonable under
nresent conditions. He also init
mated that government control or
those commodities might AFFORD
relief.
The commission found In gen
eral that the effects Of the Adam.
son eight-hour basic day and OF
the increased cost OF fuel, sup
plies and materials had not al
fec,ed the southern and western
carriers as greatly as it affected
the eastern carriers.
The commission In announcing
. the decision SAID:
I'VE are led to The conclusion
that no condition Of emergency
exists as TO the western and
southern carriers. which would
Justify permitting a general In
crease in their rates 10 become
effective.
In the eastern districts in
creased rates have recently been
permitted 20 become effective
generally on bituminous coal,
coke and iron ore. We think that
similar increases may properly be
permitted in the southern dis
trict on coal, coke and iron ore,
and in the western district on
coal and coke.
IN the southern district the
proposed increased rates on coal
are on the basis Of fifteen per
cent, with maximum OF fifteen
cents a ton. These tariffs we
shall permit to become effective.
"In the western district the in
crease; are based upon fifteen
per cent with a minimum OF f1f-
Teen cents per ton. These tariffs
will be suspended but the west
ern carriers may, if they so elect,
file new tariffs carrying increases
in rates on coal and coke not
exceeding in any case fifteen
cents per ton.
"All Of the tariffs included in
this percentage Of the western
lines will be suspended. All Of
the tariffs included in this per-
centage Of the southern carriers
will be suspended, excepting those
applying On coal, coke and iron
ore"
The commission declares its
willingness to meet any situation
which may arise In case the fears
OF. the railroads of heavily de-
creased incomes are realized.
The commission declares its
willingness to increase rates be-
tween New York and Chicago
provided the carriers preserve. es-
tablished relationship between
ports and localities. Amounts
ranging from IL per cent on first
class rates down 10 six per cent
on sixth class rates will be per!
mitted.
Approximately o5 per cent OF
the freight tonnage in eastern ter
ritory moves under class rates
and the increases, officials estl-
mated, would amount to perhaps
a two or three per cent increase
in gross revenue for eastern car
riers.
