:ROADs.LosE FIGHT
FOR RATE RAISE
1916 Most Prosperous Year in
History for Carriers, Commits
sion Says in Opinion.
INCREASE GRANTED ON COAL
McChard In Dissenting Report-East-
ern Carriers Must Have New Rev.
enue-War Has Not Affected
Business Of Companies.

Washington, July 1.-THE arilrOads
of the United States lost their fight for
a 10 per cent increase In rates. The
interstate commerce commission de-
MED their petition. The commissions
order was dated June 81 Commits
sioner McChord dissented.
The commission finds that 1916 was
the most prosperous year the railroads
ever had.
1T may be assumed" the opinion
says, that they might suffer some
abatement of the prosperity of that
year without being crippled or in any
way incapacitated."
The order sets forth:
That the operation OF the schedules
submitted by the railroads upon which
Increases were asked "be and hereby
are suspended until October %, 1917"
Exception Made on Coal.
Exception is made to schedules ap-
plying to bituminOus coal. coke and
iron ore, naming rates in the southern
district
Exception is made to schedules ap-
plying to bituminous coal, coke and
Iron ore, naming increased rates In the
eastern district.
All schedules naming increased rates
apply Internationally between dis
tricts excepting only those applying to
bituminous coal, coke and iron ore be-
tween the eastern and southern dis
tricts.
That the use of the rates, charges,
regulations and practices stated in
such suspended. schedules be deferred
upon interstate traffic until October %
unless otherwise ordered by the COM
mission.
Increase on Coal.
The commission grants certain in
creases in coal, iron and coke rates
on the basis of equalizing this rate
structure. The opinion also recog-
nizes that the roads in the eastern dis
trict must have increased revenue be-
yond what the new coal and iron rates
will produce.
The commission permits the eastern
carriers on five days notice to increase
the class rates between New York and
Chicago to the following scale:
Glass ......... 2 3 4 5 6
Rates $1,000. 80 20 GO AZ SO 80
Glass rates within the territory may
also be increased in the same proper
ton as the New York Chicago class
rate.
The technical terms Of the commits
sion's order merely suspend" the pro-
posed increases to October. But the
opinion points out that full argument
has already been had on the proposed
rates. Whether the argument can now
be renewed is not disclosed.
The order was a surprise 1t is as
serted that last fall when the country
was facing the greatest strike peril 1t
has ever known, an intimation so au-
thoritative that 1t was almost branded
as promise, was conveyed to the rail-
road heads that the government would
stand ready to return the favor.
The commission finds that the war
has not affected the railroads as dis
astrously as the first general state
ment of railroad witnesses might have
indicated.
