WESTERN RAILROADS
TO ASK RATE RAISE
Conference With Commerce
Commission Fixed for
Next Tuesday.

Washington, March 24.--.tpplication
of western railroads for an increase in
freight rates because of the higher
cost of labor under the Adamson law
and of supplies and equipment was
forecast late today by Il telegram to
the interstate commerce commission,
signed by officials of more than 20
roads, asking for Il conference to con-
slider steps necessary to meet "a fl
nancial situation requiring immediate
relief
While the western roads did not
state specifically that a general ad-
vance in freight rates would be re.
uuoStcd, such n request is expected tt
follow. Application of tho western
roads for a conference is in line will
the action of eastern roads yestcrda,
in filing "a formal petition requesting
the commission to suspend it's rules 81
as to permit without delay Il genera
| advance i'll rates.
The commission replying to the tclc
gram set next Tuesday afternoon a
| the time for the conference.
| Southern roads have yet to be hear
| from in connection with the propose
| general increase in rates. Because q
different conditions and regulation
applying in their case, there is som
doubt here whether they will join tn
other roads at this time in requesting
| general advance.
Decision on the petition of tn
eastern roads is not expected hcfol
| conference with representatives, of IL
western roads Tuesday. In any even
it seems likely that no general advan,
in rates, east or west, will be author
lied until the commission shall ha,
held exhaustive hearings at which a
parties concerned shall have an oI
hortunity 10 state their views.

Minister Brand WhitlOck Is
Told to Quit German-Oc-
cupied Territory.
SEVERE INDICTMENT
OF GERMAN METHODS
Sinking Of Relief Ships Last
Straw-Relief Work in
Dutch Hands.

Washington, March 2i.-"Becausc of
the German governments disregard of
its written agreements" for the protec-
tion Of Americans and American relief
work in Belgium, the state department
announced today that American Min
lister Brand Whitlock had been with
drawn from Brussels and the staff of
the American commission for relief in
Belgium advised that they should not
remain longer in German occupied ter
ritOry.
Relief From Outside.
Minister Whitlock. who has been
kept on Belgian territory chiefly to
aid the relief work, will go to Havre,
the temporary capital of the Belgian
government. The places of the with
drawn American relief workers will be
taken by Dutch citizens and the COM
mission through that means will con-
tinuc from outside bases as best it
dependent Belgians.
The departments announcement, one
of the most severe indictments of
Germany yet drawn by the United
States, recitcs that restrictions have
been imposed on the Americans
(which. under ordinary conditions
would never have been tolerated." and
that Minister Whitlock has been de-
MED diplomatic privileges and cour-
tesy.
Relief Ships Sunk.
1t says that the most serious devcl-
opment. however, has come within the
past ten days, when several of the
commissions relief ships have been
attacked without warning by German
submarines in flagrant violation of the
solemn engagements of The German
government
Whether Germany will continue to
make the relief work difficult for
other administrators is not known
here. The general American execu-
tors, headed by Chairman Herbert c.
Hoover, will continue their efforts for
Belgian and Northern France outside
of German jurisdiction.
