Special Dsspdtch to- THE SUI.

WASHINGTON. July 17.-Further adj.
vances in railroad rates are the IN
evitable consequence Of the present
series Of adverse earnings statements
from the lines Commissioner Edgar G.
Clark OF the I. c. C. to-day told the
House Interstate Commerce Committee.
The Commissioner was giving MS
views to the committee, which has under
consideration the Esch-Pomerene bill
providing for return Of the lines from
Federal control to private direction. He
said that drastic advances must be made
II the monthly deficits which have char
acterized the reports Of the Railroad Ad-
ministration during the past six or seven
months are not to continue.
There Is no hope. Mr.. Clark said In
reply to questions by Representative
Montague (va.) that traffic increases
sufficiently will meet the deficits. the
total of which now has reached 1900, :
00O, 900. He believed no attempt would
be made to decrease wages and that
costs of material needed by railroads
was certain to continue high for several
months at least.
