tRy The Associated rrcssl

WASHINGTON. II. o., June l5.--
While urging substantial freight rates
increases, X. G.. Fulbright of Hous-
ton, representing the Southwestern
Industrial Traffic League, told the in
terstate Commerce Commission today
that rate increases alone would not
solve the nations transportation prob
lens and that full thirty-one per cent
of the increase asked BY the western
roads il not necessary.
The roads face three major prob
lens, Fulbright declared, labor, prob
lem, the revenue problem and tax
problem. Increased rates will not
solve the labor question under exist
ing conditions. he said, which must
be changed. The root of the revenue
problem lies in the market for rail
road securities. he said, and the in
creased rate will not create mar
ket.
Fulbright sail railroad investors are
burdened with a heavy surtaX and
normal tax which reduced incomes to
two or three per cent while munich

"Among the first measures propos-
cd for relieving the car shortage and

on the use of all ears and equipment
for the transportation Of road ma
terials. The state highway depart
ment. cooperating with the highway
departments of other states. immedi-
ately entered protest against the is
suance Of so drastic an order.
I'VE have a large amount Of data
mt hand 10 show that to put such an
order into effect would bring road
construction TO a standstill, tying up
millions of dollars in unfinished con-
tracts with the losses of large sums
of money to the state and counties.
II is not desired by this department
that road material be given prefer
ence, but 10 put stop 10 such ship
ments would mean great loss.
