MAKE NO
ADJUSTMENT
GOVERNMENT TO LEAVE FREIGHT
RATES UP TO PRIVATE
OWNERS.
HINES WRITES LETTER
PUBLIC WOULD NOT BE sATIs-
FLED WITH INCREASE AT
THIS TIME.
Western Newspaper Union REV. Service.

Washington, Oct. S-The railroad
Administration will make no increase
in freight rates before return of the
railroads to private operation Jan. l.
Director General Hines has just
written T. De Witt Cuyler, chairman
Of the railway executives, that it would
be Impossible for the government to
establish any general readjustment Of
rates because earnings of the roads
under the abnormal conditions pre-
vailing 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 Com
mission exercise full authority in any
readjustment of rates to be effective
under private control also was cited
by the director general as an objection
to the Railroad Administrations un-
dertaking such readjustment
"My view," wrote the director gen.
eral, "has been and is that this i'm
portant matter must be handled in ac-
cordance with the two following con-
sideratiOns:
"First-The question of an increase
in rates could not properly be consid-
cred on the exclusive basis of the un-
favorable showing which the Railroads
Administration was making in the
early part Of this year, because that
showing was very largely due to an
abnormally small freight business.
"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.
"Since the foregoing controlling fac
tors must be respected, it is evident
that it would be impossible for the
government to establish any general
readjustment Of rates prior to Jan. 1,
1920. 1t is also evident that the new
basis to be established for the future
should naturally be considered, not
from the standpoint Of unified opera
ton Of all the railroads, but to great
er extent from the standpoint of the
necessities of the separate railroads
II, therefore, see no escape from
| the conclusion that If the corporations
desire to make progress at this time
with this matter they enter them
selves upon study of the problem
to determine what tariffs they think
ought to be proposed, with a view to
filing tariffs accordingly with the ap-
propriate public authority"

was no farmhouse or other shelter
within many miles, I decided to pass
the night in the open.
After looking around while I Sc
lected what I thought to be a ravine
running through the underbrush Of
the woods and started to gather wood
for fire. which put around me to
keep warm on all sides and to keep
the coyotes off. As heavy snow was on
the ground I deemed 1t snug place,

Early the next morning awoke to
hear strange, bubbling sound and
to find myself, to my great aston
ishment, imbedded deeply in the Ice
