RATES ARE NOT
TO Be INCREASED
DIRECTOR GENERAL OF RAIL
WAYS WRITES TO CHAIRMAN
OF EXECUTIVES.
SITUATION is EXPLAINED
Says There should Be No Readiust-
ment of Rates Without Submis-
sion of Question to Com
merce Commission.

Washington.-The railroad admins
trsstion will make no increase in freight
rates before return of the railroads
to private operation Jan. l. Director
General Hines wrote T. Dewitt Guy
Ter, chairman of the railways execu-
tiyes that it would be Impossible for
the government to establish any gen
eral readiustment of rates." because
earnings of the roads under abnormal
conditions prevailing in the early part
of this year did not afford fair test
of income.
The manifest desire of the public
to have the Interstate Commerce
Commission exercise full authority in
any readjustment of rates to be ef-
fective under private control also was
cited by the director general as an
objection to the railroad administra-
tion's undertaking such a readjust-
ment
my view," wrote the director gen.
eral, ''has been and is that this inn
portant matter must be handled in
accordance with the two following
considerations. First, the question Of
an increase in rates could not prop
erly be considered on the exclusive
basis of the unfavorable showing
which the railroad administration
was making In the early part of this
year, because that showing was very
largely due to an abnormalIy small
freight business, so that the results
Of that period could not fairly be
taken as test for making increases
in rates. Necessarily, therefore, it
seemed to me that the formulation
Of any proposal for general increase
in rates would have to await better
opportunity for making an estimate
as to what the earning capacity would
be. under normal conditions. | have
been increasingly confirmed in this
opinion by the variable developments
which have taken place.
"Second--It has seemed to me that
the public would not be satisfied un-
der existing conditions to have any
general increase in rates put into ef-
feet without the concurrence Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.

REMEDIES FOR
LABOR TROUBLES
PROPOSITIONS TO CONFERENCE
FOR INDUSTRIAL TRUCE AND
ARBITRATION BOARD PLAN.
G0MPERS SPRINGS SURPRISE
Suggests Arbitration of Steel Strike.
Committee Is Appointed To In
vestigata the High Cost Of
Living.

Washington-Conc proposals de-
signed to bring about better relations
between employers and employed were
laid before the national industrial con-
ferences by members of the various
groups making up the gathering. The
proposals included:
Arbitration of the nationwide steel
strike with return of the men to wort
bending settlement: an Industrial
truce starting immediately and con-
tinuing three months; creation of an
arbitration board by the president and
congress and including among its
members all ex-presidents; and COM
prehensive plan for adjudication of in
dustrial disputes through boards of
arbitration in the various industries.
The conference also took its first
concrete action in adopting a motion,
offered by Thomas l.. Chadbourne, a
representative of the public, providing
that committee consisting of three
members from each of the group of EN-
ployers, labor and the public, be ap-
pointed to investigate the high cost of
living.
The proposal for the settlement of
the steel strike, introduced by Sam
uel Gompers, president Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, and one of
the delegates, soon after the confer
ence met, came as surprise to thc
groups representing the public and
the employers. In offering the pro
posal, Mr.. Oompers explained that it
had the support of the labor delegates
including the representatives of the
railroad brotherhoods. The proposal
like all others submitted under the con
ference rules, was referred to the gen
eral committee composed of five repre-
sentatives of each group. 1t generally
was believed that the proposal would
be In the hands of this committee for
some time.
( sAs chairman of the public group.
Bernard Baruch introduced the propo
sal for an Industrial peace, formulated
by a. A. Landon of Buffalo, and
the plan that national board of con-
ciliation and arbitration be created,
put forward by Favin McNab.

Atlanta, Ga.-Veterans of the Con-

mile long, was literally jammed with
spectators. who cheered and wept and
laughed as the gray-clad heroes of the
sixties passed in review, many of
them in their last march.
Company A from Memphis, was the
only organization in the line fully
equipped, each member Of the COM
pany carrying his rifle, topped with
the old-style bayonet.
Boy Scouts carried water for the
old soldiers and Red Cross ambulances
followed in the wake Of the various
divisions, but few of those who start
ed out to march would accept a ride,
even though overcome. Here and
there veterans dropped out of line and
rested on the curb then joined the
next division that came along,
The parade took nearly two hours
to pass the reviewing stand, the old
soldiers themselves being almost out
numbered by their escorts Of honor,
and members of bands that accom-
panied them. The band and the ma
chine gun battalion Of the Fifth Di-
vision of regulars stationed at Camp
Gordon was one of the escorts Lo-
cal military schools sent their cadets

brought forth again and carried at
the head of companies.

One company of veterans was headed
by color bearer holding up a frame
] from which floated small banners
typifying every nation that went to
war with the central powers.
At the head of the Gate City Guard
of Atlanta marched two young girls
dressed in the hoop skirts and panta-
lettes of the antebellum days.
The scene was not entirely mill
tary, for the veterans yielded to the
spirit OF the day and shouted and
threw kisses at pretty girls. Others
stopped to dance, jigs to show that
they were not as old as they might
SEEM Every one among them seem
