WILL ASK FOR INCREASE
IN PASSENGER CHARGES

WASHINGTON, July 21.--Rail-
road executives met with passenger
and freight traffic managers hera
today to consider means Of raising
additional revenue to meet the $780,
900, 900 wage increase awarded rail
workers.
Those attending the meeting said
it would probably be decided to ask
the interstate commerce commits
sion to raise passenger fares a half
cent mile.
An official of one Of the big east
ern roads said that the previous In.
creases asked by the road had been
entirely on freight rates. Railroad
officials felt, he said, that it was
fair to ask passenger rates to bear
a part Of the increased burden.
Immediately after the railroad Sx-
ecutives reach a definite decision.
they will begin preparing a plea to
the interstate commerce commits
sion, which Is now considering the
requests for freight increases.
