ELECTRIC RATE RISE
MIGHT BOOST FARES
Rapid Transit Likely to Ask
Increase if Power Cost
Goes Up

There is u possibility Of an increase
in Darfares by the Philadelphia Rand
Transit Company if the Philadclpbi3
Electric Company is permitted bv the
Public Service Commission to inrrn, o.
Us rates for electricity Hearings before
me commission began today in HARRIS
burg to determine whether an increase
is justified. '''''
The Rapid Transit Company ia the
largest buyer Of power from the cInctric
company and II it were compelled 70
nay moro for electricity the demand far
an Increase in fares would uaturaIIv
follow. "'''
No increase in fares could po int, Of
feet, however before next August or siv
months after tho ratification of tho
Smith-Mlttcn lease. This Is provided
undcr the terms Of the lease and il il
Impossible for the stockholders to ratifv
the lease before their next meeting ON
February ). II the company did uot
Increase the rate of fares the city yyould
suffer- as it is also provided under terms
Of the lease that any deficit in the COM
pany's Golfers must come out Of the city
treasury.
Approximately twenty-five months ago
The people Of Philadelphia won lower
rates for municipal and residence light
ing which resulted in a saving of an
proNimatcly SL25O,OO0 to the city and
people. The increase asked at This time
would come principally from the indus-
uies Of the city and would add about
81 100000 to the company's income.
The reason given b. the electric COM
pany for requesting the right to Increase
the rate was the rise IN the price Of
coal aSd Of other production costs. The
company, according TO a statement by
its president. Joseph Il. Mccall, will
drop from its request for IA rate increase
a coal clause which provides for an
Increase in rates of one-twentieth Of a
cent Tor every tive-cenr Increase in the
cost OF coal above So y ron, IL the COM
pany is allowed the straight 20 per cent
increase.

EMBARGO SLTTTLE
EFFECT ON FREIGHT
Lack of Definite Details From
Washington Leaves Roads

POLICY NOT CHANGED
Preference to Shipments Still Given
in Accordance With Priority
Rules

jp 10 the present time the blanket

neral McAdoo on all shipments ex.
'pt those Of food. fuel and war supplies,
Is had little effect on the general
eight situation on the Pennsylvania,
'c Baltimore and Ohio and the Phia-
''phia and Reading Railroads
This is so because of the fact that
c embargo order, which permits thf
'ipment only OF "such war supplies AS
re specifically approved by the War De
lrtmcnt" carries with It no indica-'
N rs TO what commodities are eni-
'accd within the definition given. The
ar Department has not as yet "spe-
ii"ally approved" any war supplies,
Il the railroads are consequently
wing preference to shipments in the
der Of priority already established
der existing laws and regulations. #
The Freight Traffic Committee Of the
'Urth Atlantic Ports, a semioiiicial body
omIoSed of representatives Of the pors
{ Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Bal
timoTc and Newport News, ha sfor some
time past exercised jurisdiction over
to the north Atlantic seaboard-
and Il permit from that committee has
been necessary before shipments OF sup
plies could be made. The action OF thk
committee and the priorities already e.
tablished by the railroad board In Wash
ington are the guides by which the rail-
roads are steering their courses in re-
Ceiving freight in this territory
The general freight situation Is de
cidedly moro encouraging today and rail-
road men expressed the belief that VIII

that the nation is at war. The snow ol
