FORMAL
HEARING
IS BEGUN
Argument Before |. c. c. for
More Revenues to SuS-
tain Roads.
LlnrERnA1loNAL Nrws sERyLcEl

wASHINGTON. May s4-The rail-
roads today entered a plea for
prompt and Just decision on their
petition for rate increases that VIII
produce more than S100o,000Roe ad-
ditional revenue. at formal hearlns g
opened today by the interstate com :
rlerce commission. Howard Elliott
Spokesman for the Association OF
Railroad Executives. presented the case
20 the carriers and laid before the
commission a mass Of data showing
the transportation needs and necessity
fer more revenue to sustain the roads.
TWO PRESSING QUESTIONS
Under the new act" Mr Elliott
said two very pressing questions are
under consideration. One relates 70
the fair adjustment of wages Tor 2
GOO 600 or more men. who maintain
operate and manage the railroads The
other relates TO fair compensation TO
the roads. so they VIII receive enoug n
funds to pay these fair wages. all
other costs taxes and such returns on
the properties as VIII induce the in
dividual investor TO put part Of his
earnings each year into the transporta-
tion business.
BIIIION DOLLARS A YEAR
now before it requests for increases
in nay amounting to s1ooo.oo0.ooo a
wear The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has been given the power TO
determine the second great question
which involves obtaining for the rail-
roads for the service they render not
less than $1.01T.00O.oO0 of added rev.
enues year If the railroads are TO be
sustained This latter sum is neces-
sary to meet the present basis Of va
ges costs. interest and a sum for div
idends and improvements, and does not
include any part Of the $1,000. 1000. 600
wear now under consideration by the
labor board.
MAY BE TOO Low
The railroads bring forth that the
calculations of the roads have been
based upon a volume Of business sub
xtantiauy equal to 1919. But il was sug
Eested that even those estimates may
be too low. in view Of the disturbed
Industrial and commercial conditions
prevailing.
Mr. Elliott. asserting that to in
sure the raildoas six per cent of the
return on property investment Of tho
carriers in the three big classification
territories increase in freight revenues
viii be neede das follows
Eastern 3o43 per cent; Southern,
so 95 per cent. Western 23.91 per cent.
SAYS THEY CAN AFFORD IT
Declaring that the price Of transpor-
tation has not increased as much as the
cost Of producing it. Mr. Elliott said
"A people that has been able to alb
sorb $4,000 100000 Of Liberty bonds
in two years. carry on an active busi-
ness of every kind. and increase de-
posts in savings banks from s4.9e7.-
