JUDGE RHEA WILL DEMAND
BETTER RAILROAD SERVICE

Judge William F. Rhea. of the
state corporation commission, has
received a letter from Judge John
Barton Payne, general counsel for
the director general of railroads at
Washington, in which he requests
Judge Rhea to bring to the atten-
ton of the federal regional direc-
tors in Virginia any question OF in
sufficient or inadequate transporta-
ton facilities or service on roads
under federal control, and to make
such recommendations to the re-
gional directors as he may deem
proper: and he is also requested
further TO bring any such matters
to the attention of the United
States railroad administration at

request, Judge Rhea has already
taken up a number of such matters
with the regional directors. and 1t
is expected that better and more
efacient public service will result
therefrom.

WARS EFFECT ON
OCEAN SHIPPING
RATES REVEALED

What the war did to ocean freight
rates is forcibly illustrated in the
case of an export shipment of auto
mobiles about to be made by the
Root & VanDervoort Engineering
company to Copenhagen, Denmark.
Rates on New York-Copenhagen
freight have advanced in the last
three or four years from % cents
a cubic foot to 81, and this means
that the freight charges on one of
the standard Model G Moline-K Knight
cars will be approximately $500.
This makes a difference of more
than $4,000 in the freight charges
on this one shipment alone between
the present and the old rates.
The Moline-hnight is not
stranger in Denmark, the manufAc-
turerers having had relations with
a dealer there for the last five or
six years Export shipments are
