rates However, according to Repre-
sentative Esch, co-author of the
transportation act, it is mandatory
upon the interstate commerce commisS
sion to fix rates high enough to in
sure a per cent return whether or
not the roads ask 1t. s
The alternative for higher rates as
seen here is payment by the govern
ment to the roads for their deficits.
The second question facing the
roads also arises from the government
guarantee, under which there is due to
the roads something near half a bill
lion dollars, the amount of the deficit
during the first six months of private
operation. Under a technical ruling
by the treasury, payment of this is
held up.
Railroads say they need the money
and have gone to the courts. If the
court decides against them, they will
have to go to congress for a change
in the transportation law or wait years
for their money, their officials admit.
The third question is one of a CON
flict of state and federal authority and
involves possible rate changes indi-
rectly. Seventeen states have refused
to allow intrastate rates to go as high
as the interstate commerce commits
sion tried to fix them and appealed to
the-courts to uphold them.
Railroad attorneys arguing before
the interstate commerce commission
have declared that if the states win
out, the high rates act last August will
not bring in as much as expected and
so the per cent return guaranteed
the roads probably would be realized
even under favorable conditions.
The fourth question is brought for
ward by railroad labor organizations
which recently launched charges that
| the railroad executives were not max
ing every effort toward economy in
operations. The brotherhoods also are
