INCREASED r. r. RATES
MEANS MORE MOTORS

The announcement by Director
general OF railroads Mc\doo that on
June 10 passenger rates will Jump TO
three cents a mile and that a 25 per
cent increase in freight rates goes
into effect is declared by officials
Of the B. f. Goodrich Rubber Com
pany TO be the greatest boost trans
portation by motor vehicle has re
ceired since it became obvious that
carriers other than steam, driven
would be essential for effective re-
leasing of national resources.
One Interpretation placed on the
action of Mr.. McAdoo is that the
government believes motor trucks
are capable of handling a tremen-
dous share of the nations freight
and that the increase is to discoura-
ge shippers from using valuable car
space for the transportation of pro-
ducts less essential to the needs of
the nation.
Manufactors of passenger cars
have also taken heart because the
decision tends to encourage greater
use of the automobile for travel and
unless an increase in the cost OF
gasoline offsets the gain motor cars
should be used more than ever be
fore.
A striking example of the immense
saving to shippers can be had from
sc figures; If the shippers now
using motor trucks as carriers be-
tween New York and Philadelphia
were sending their tonnage, which A.
mounts to 100000 tons annually.
over the railroads instead of the
high ways, the recent freight rate
increase of the railroads would tax
them approximately, $4,000 more
than they paid previously. Motor
trucks plying between these two
points carry the equivalent of 72O
box cars loaded to 10000 pounds ca
pacity or. 35l0O0O0O pounds each
week. $40 trucks operating between
these two cities make a total of L.
200 trips a week.
