Equipment and Operating Ex-
penses Render Step Inevitable.

Washington, May 15.-Railway ad-
ministration officials estimate that an
increase of at least 20 per cent in
passenger and freight rates will be
necessary this year to meet higher
costs of fuel, wages, equipment and
other operating expenses, now placed
at between $6OO,00O,OOO and $750,OO0,-
900 more than last year.
Recommendation that rates be
raised by approximately this percent
age has been made to Director Gen.
eral McAdoo by his advisers. He is
expected to act within the next six
weeks and to put increases into ef-
feet Immediately.
Shippers will be permitted to ap-
peal to the Interstate Commerce COM
mission under the railroad act, and
| final decision will be with President
Wilson. Such an increase would be
the biggest in the history of Ameri
can railways, as the percentage is
larger than any ever sought by the
railways under private management
and would apply to the entire country
| Both class and commodity schedules
would be affected.
! Rate experts of the Interstate Com
merce commission and Railroad ad-
ministration are now at work at new
| schedules. Any increases to be or
dered will be arranged in a manner
to preserve rate relationships between
communities and regions, officials said
today, so industries and commercial
interests will be subject to the same
degree of rate competition as at pres
ent
Passenger fares would be raised
under the plan suggested to about 8
cents a mile, from the existing gen.
eral rate of a little less than 2h
cents.
The proposed increases, it is esti-
mated, would yield about $500. 100000,
or 500, 100000 in freight and $780,
100000 in passenger revenues. This
would leave a margine above the es-
| timated increase in operating expens-
! es eventually, but since the new rates
would not go into effect until the year
is half over, their yield would fall
several hundred million dollars short
of meeting the anticipated deficit this
year.
1t is roughly estimated by railroad
administration officials that the roads
will spend between $300000.O00 and
$350,000, 900 more for wages than last
year; between $120,000,000 and $3.50,
| 100000 more for coal and between
$1S0,00O,000 and $3.50, 900, 900 more for
cars, locomotives, rails, ties, terminal
facilities, barges for inland water
ways and other supplies and equip
