CARRIERS DECLARE HIGHER RATE WILL
 NOT ADD ID H. |. 1.
Hold That Advance Would Enable Roads to Buy Equipment Needed to
 Expedite Shipment
By Associated Press

Washington, May 24.-Belief that ad- vances in freight rates to provide the more than a billion dollars additional roads would not increase the cost of living was expressed by spokesmen for the carriers in opening their case to- day before the interstate commerce commission.
 Nothing that I know of would re- duce the cost of living so much as the prompt and speedy transport tion of goods" said Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. He added that the revenues asked as nec- essary to provide the per cent return guaranteed by the government in the transportation act would enable the carriers to purchase sufficient equip n.ent to move commodities now unable to reach a market
 Frederick Strauss of New York, also. appearing for the railroads, said a 30 or 50 per cent increased freight rate would have no appreciable effect on the present movement to bring down living costs.
 Questioning of Howard Elliott of the general rate committee of the Associa- ton of Railway Executives, who pre- sented introductory testimony for the carriers as a whole, developed that the additional billion dollars requested is not regarded by the roads as covering wage increases. estimated at more than a Billion dollars annually Included in demands presented to the railroad la bor board.
 Mir. Willard made the initial presen- tation of testimony for the eastern railroads, which are asking an increase of S04 per cent in rates to produce about s550.000.000 aded revenue.
 MEANS FEDERAL OWNERSHIP
 Mir. Strauss contended for higher rates as necessary to bolster up the weakened market for railway securi- ties Unless the carriers can compete with other industries as a profitable in- vestment. he asserted. government ownership is the only alternative to keep the transportation system of the corntry going.
 Opposition to any rate increases was expressed by S H. Cowan, represent ton. Cattle men are against any raise in rates for profits he declared, adding that if the roads could not support themselves it was their own misfor- tune.
 Cross examination of the carriers witnesses was conducted at length by of the shippers, and MT. Willard. in reply to questions. said ti.ere now were some 10 GOO more men employed by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad than before federal control, hui explained that this was mainly due to the change from piece basis in the shops to the day system.
 Asked regarding the advisability of raising passenger rates. Mir. Willard declared 1t his personal opinion that the public would rather have the in- crease come on freight.
 G. M. Scriver. vice president of the Baltimore and Ohio. and Samuel Req of tLe Pennsylvania lines. will continue tomorrow the presentation of the ar- Euments of the eastern carriers.

Omaha's new History medical

the building association are success
full.
With Mr.. Riggs cooperation, he
having come home from California
to assist, the association is making
progress toward the raising of an
additional S175,O00, made necessary
by increased cost of building ma
terial and labor. Four $25,000 sub
scriptions are now assured, Mr..
Riggs said yesterday. Upon the
completion of the $175,000 total de-
pends the final securing of a ST, $780,

"The business men and physicians
associated in the enterprise original
ly raised $l,S75,000, which was suf-
ficient to put the project through"
said Mr.. Riggs. "The increased cost
could not be foreseen and is due to
the same general condition through
out the country which has brought
difficulties to scores of building pro-
jects in other cities. We believe now,
however, that we will be under way
again very shortly"
