RATE INCREASE
ASKED BY ROADS
20 Per Cent Addition to Pas
senger Fares Is Urged Of
Commission.

Washington.-To provide an addl'
tional revenue necessary to meet the
5000, 600. coo increase in wages award
ed by the railway labor board, the
railways proposed Thursday to the
interstate commerce commission that
passenger rates be advanced 20 per
cent and freight rates 913 per cent
in addition to the 27,6 per cent pre-
viously requested. They proposed a
sufcharge Of Sc per cent be made
on Pullman fares, that excess baggage
rates be increased 20 per cent and that
milk tariffs be increased to the same
level as freight rates.
Should these increases and those
previously asked be granted in full,
existing freight rates would be ad-
vanced $50 per cent and the nations
freight bill would be increased by
s1,355,370,675. The total which would
be added TO the passenger revenue
under the railway executives plan
would be s23S, S27,sS2 annually. Pull
man charges would 90 up $43,63s,344
a year. the revenue on milk would be
increased SS,662,0S9, and excess bag
gage charges would be advanced by
$1,42O,995.
The plan advanced by the railroads
disclosed that they have estimated the
wage award at approximately $685.
100000, instead Of the s600,OOO,OOO
figured By the labor board. Alfred P.
Thorn, general counsel of the Associa-
ton of Railway Executives, explained
that the S28,0OO,0O0 additional was
figured on the basis of overtime allow
ances provided in the award.
The railroads proposal was submit
ted to the commission by Mr.. Thorn
after a conference with its members.
. The commission made no comment
and did not indicate whether it would

/ The total increase from all sorts OF
! revenue in each of the three railway
classification territories would CORE
spond to the estimated increases OF
wages in these territories and would
be as follows:
Eastern, s31S,729,935; Southern,
SEQ, 9O9,495, and Western, $237,281,'
555.
Under the executives estimates the
proposed increase in passenger rates
would yield an annual return Of SILL
668,982 in Eastern territory; $2s,'
S26,4OO in Southern, and $s2,SS2,599 in
Western.
The additional increase in freight
rates would be 10 per cent in Eastern
territory, yielding s1S2,O2o,51; S.5e
/ per cent in Southern territory, yielding
( s33,7sS,926, and 1923 per cent in
Western territory, yielding $122,551,

Regarding the charge of harsh
and unjust administering Of disci-
pline, the board found as follows:
''The testimony offered to support
the charge that discipline had been
administered harshly or unjustly
does not sustain it. The character,
veracity and efficiency of the COM
mandant, Colonel Cummins, was not
even brought into question. The
board allowed any cadet to offer
complaints or testimony against
Col. Cummins or his assistants Five
cadets out of the corps of 500 offered
complaints and testimony, but it is
the belief Of the board that every one
who heard their evidence was con-
vinced, as was the board, that these
complaints were not sustained"

by President Riggs and Colonel Cum
Minis may be summed up in the fol-
lowing quotations from the official

tegrity and loyalty of President
Riggs, both to the college and its
students and deems it unnecessary
to express an opinion touching his
extraordinary efficiency, so we'll

AS to the disagreement between
President Riggs and members of
the freshman and sophomore COM
mittees. "The board believes and
adopts the theory of President Riggs
himself, made at the hearing and
found in his testimony, the follows:
"My own theory is that these young
men, whether through my mistake
of their questions or their mistake
of my answers, got mixed in the mat
