EASTERN ROADS
GET RATE BOOST
General Increase of Is Per-
cent Does Not Affect
Lines in West.

WASHINGTON, March 16. - 4
general increase of about 10 per-
cent in commodity rates was grant
ed today by the interstate COM
merce commission to railroads east
of the Mississippi and north of the
Ohio and Potomac rivers, supple
menting a similar increase allowed
last June i'm class rates.
The order applies only TO articles
shipped i'm large quantities, such as
coal. brick, grain, foodstuffs, oil.
stone. cement. lumber and other
staple products shipped under the
commodity" classification. The new
rates will go into effect as soon as
railroads file new tariffs, probably
within a few weeks.
The action will add about $5S.-
100000 TO the revenue OF the east
ern roads although it will not ac-
tuaIly Increase their earnings. since
the sun will revert TO the govern
ment under the system Of common
operation, and railroads will be paid
on the basis of a fixed compensa-
ton outlined i'm the railroad bill,
Just passed by congress. Since the
railroads applied for the increase
more than six months ago, before
government operation was ordered.
and was decided by the commits
sion in the ordinary course Of its
business. the railroad administra-
ton is not directly responsible for
the resulting higher rates.
West Is Not Affected.
The increase does not affect ter
ritorv west of the Mississippi nor
southern territory. except for ship
ments originating in the east or
destined 20 that district.
IN general. today's order of the
commission allows increases averag-
ing IS percent in rates not raised
by the commissions decision last
June . in the Is percent case
which had been pending for many
month. The order then was esti-
mated 10 increase the roads freight
revenues little more than FIVE per
cent and railroad men tonigh, fig
ured that the latest increases would
give eastern roads between sever
and ten percent more.

had watched her with unusually in

COL Roosevelt. whose book contain
