MEANS 50 PER CENT BOOST

Washington, July 20.-Freight rates,
 railroad executives estimate. would
 have to be increased nearly 50 per
 cent to absorb the $500 oo0 900 wage
 increase announced today by the rail-
 road labor board, and the $1,017,00 ,00o
 of increased revenue recently asked of
 tke interstate commerce commission by the carriers.
 The executives tentatively estimated today that the wage award would add s per cent to freight rates, while the estimate of increase necessary to ad- vance the roads income to the per ccr t allowed under the transportation act is slightly in excess of 3 per cent fer all roads except those in the west
 Western roads asked for an increase of
 23.9 per cent.
 tee of the American Railway Associa- : tion met here today to formulate re- quest that the interstate commerce commission incorporate the wage award in any freight advances granted on the previous application of the carriers. In all probability, however the car riers will ask that the wage increases be spread over both freight and pas . senger rates.
 Proportions have not yet been worked out so that no exact estimate of the increase in freight rates necessary to cover the added compensation of | the carriers and the workers is possi 1 ble at this Iime Likewise no esti- mate has been made of the increased | passenger fares expected to result from 1 the wage award.

 There was no flagman at the crossing, and I stopped my car on the first tracks, thinking that the train that was passing on the opposite tracks about fifty feet away, was the only one around.
