That the Interstate commerce
Commission must allow a further rate
increase-regardless OF wage demands
fulhlled or unfulnlled-ls to be taken
as matter OF course; for the payroll
item Gin q high percentage the chief
expenseJ has exceeded BY far the rata
augmentationa
The records show that Nay. 1913,
the Administration granted . wage
betterment whereby the lower paid
employees. more than half the total
number, received increases of from
a to IS per cent while for the more
highly paid the percentage vas nod
crate. Engineers. with pre-war wage
OF $40 . month. received an increass
Of over ~ per cent above the January
!, 1915 level Since then there have
been IA addition some minor increases
and adjustments. Moreover, applica-
ton OF the eight-hour principle has
resulted IN putting more men on the
payroll The net result has been an
increase IN the total payrolIs since the
beginning Of 1917 Of about 50.
Another item Is the cost OF ma
terials, such as fuel steel rails. cross
ties, lumber, and steel for car and
locomotive repairs. and similar COM
modities- The enormous rise IN fh6
price OF these IS matter Of common
knowledge. Director General Mines
estimates that the materials which
the Administration had to buy cost
from SO to 20 per cent more than AZ
the beginning }of 1917. IL
On the -Sther side, PASSENGER
eharges-Which represent the least a.
revenues or less than one-quarter
or total income-Were lifted 80 Is
per cent. not including commutation
fares, which were advanced only 10
per cent. The increase IN travel traf-
nc and In freight was not effective
until June last year against a general
wage rise retroactive January /. 1913
Much has happened since the In
terstate Commerce Commission was
bereft OF its rate-granting-an re-
jecting-pOwer, recently restored.
Sentiment on the carriers IS be-
come almost syuapathetic sOl far a.
a living rate Is concerned The few
shippers who still object ta- paying
more for freight upon which they
have doubled and trebled the price
are not In valid standing. Hence
the commissioners may be disposed to
act on the dictates OF common. fair
