RAILROAD RATES
MAY JUMP AGAIN
Failure Of Earnings to Reach
Expected Total Seen as In.
dicati0n OF Raise.

state railroad commissions ana orr
ganizations OF shippers are watching
with an eagle eye the course OF the
railroads with respect to rates.
Because OF the fact the railway
earnings az shown by the figures up
TO September fell short OF the expcc-
tations Of the roads and did not yield
the total net income which the roads
were supposed TO be assured under
the new railroad law. there 10 a
movement on for another increase In
railroad rates. Increase OF 10 10
per cent is suggested.
WILL FIGHT INCREASES.
Shippers organizations and State
commissions opposed the increase Of
last summer. That IL, they regarded
II az excessive. They did not oppose
q more moderate increase.
Since that time, the bottom has
fallen out Of prices of farm products
and prices have fallen in other lines.
II the roads come forward under such
circumstances and demand higher
rates, there will be bitter opposition.
This antagonism will undoubtedly be
manifested in Congress.
The opponents OF the increase grant
ed last summer held that the Inter-
state Commerce Commission permitted
too high a valuation OF the roads as
a basis for rate making. They have
never been satisfied with the commits
sion's decision.

country has taken the new railroad
act on trial, it is we'll recognized that
II Is on trial and that the public will
Judge OF It by the results of the new
year or two years. This 10 true both
as to rates and efficiency of service.
Many observers of the railroad situa-

to excessive figures and service does
not attain desired efficiency. there
will be another big swing of publ c
sentiment toward Government owner
