In what way should the fund of
S3oo.oOo,o00 or that part remaining
over and above the amounts required
TO pay judgments, DEGREES and awards,
be distributed to best enable the car
riers properly 70 meet the transporta-
ton needs of the public
In what way should the fund be dis
tributed TO best insure that the earn

character and value of the securities
offered are such as to furnish reason
able assurance of the applicants abili-
ties to repay The loans within the time
hXed and to meet their other obliga-
tons IN connection herewith, while
realizing the purpose of properly serv-
ing the public.
While the commission hopes az the
result of the hearing to arrive at
comprehensive plan for making it's rec
concentrations with respect to loans
out OF the fund, it will nevertheless,
either before or after the hearing, if

Says Cost to Roads Must
Figure in Wage Raise
Chairman Of Executives Com
n,ittee Continues Reply TO the
Demands OF the EMPLOYEES

CHICAGO, May 21.-The Federal
Railway Labor Board must consider
seriously the cost to the railroads of
the wage increases demanded by the
employees before rendering its decision,
Z. 7. Whittier, chairman of .the rail
road executives committee, told the
board to-day in continuing his presen
tation of the roads reply to demands
the employees presented in recent
hearings at Washington.
Mr. Whittier pointed out that the laws
governing the board gave it authority
10 suspend its own decisions at any
time it felt increases it had granted
ght necessitate a substantial read
justment of the rates of any carrier
He said this plainly showed that the
cost to the railroads Of any increases
must be consi dered"
Mr.. Winter explained he was calling
attention to this matter because Of
suggestions which, he said, had been
made that the board disregard costs
entirely in making its decision. He
also urged that the board consider
seriously the mileage system Of pay
now in effect and which the employees
representatives declared at the Wash
ington hearings affected only hand
full of men and left out the 95 per
cent"
The board was further urged by Mr.
Whittier not to grant increases on a
percentage basis. He argued that this
gave large increases to men with large
salaries who did not need the money
and sighted the man with the small
salary who did need it.

rlans in mind for some time and now
that the orders have been issued we
are going to make the best of il. The
railroads will make every effort to
cooperate in expeditiously clearing
away the congestion He said relief
to this section of the country would
now follow very quickly.
The Merchants Association gave
warning yesterday that even if the
freight tie-up we're relieved in time to
handle crops farmers are likely to be
without bags to ship i'll because of the
delays already.
Two Of the largest manufacturers of
burlap bags, it was said. have been
compelled to abandon coastwise ships
as a method of transporta ton. 8 their
trucks had to stand in line for nearly
twenty-four hours before getting to
the piers. Such shifts in transporta-
ton from water to land have added to
the already heavy burdens of the rail-
roads, it was pointed out. and ham
pered rail shipments of all kinds.

ments for expedited through mer-
chant cars
Such other items of operation and
transportation in the interest OF the
car service and promoting increase
in available equipment.
Complaints have come from New
York, Buffalo and other cities that
some shippers, in spite of the shortage
of cars, were insisting on their right
TO utilize only small portion Of space
iii the cars they charter. while others,
unable to obtain storage warehouse
ments beyond the free-time period al
lowed them and pa the demurrage.
The ruling OF the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission with regard to rates
calls the attention Of shippers TO the
fact that under the new transportation
act the maximum period Of suspension
OF new rates fled by the railroads has
been reduced to 100 days from the time
The new ra tes would otherwise 60 into
etseCt. For this reason the carriers
are urged to lose no time in filing their
neW schedules, taking into considera-
ton all underlying reasons and the
effects Of such new rates, to be in posi-
ton promptly to meet any objections
raised by shippers. On the other hand,
shippers are urged not to request sus-
pension Of any rate unless sure that
they understand the effects and that
their objections are soupdly based

Union Pacific, New York Central, Santa

100000. With the less prosperous
roads, however, the problem of getting
credit pending the increase in freight
rates mas been next TO impossible
ne commission action will enable
these roads to get start on their
building program, and, in effect taking
INTO conside ration what the stronger
roads already have undertaken on their
own account, Will enable the car and
locomotive builders to start operations

the stronger roads are to be ABSORBED

Distribution of Fund
The commission had hoped said
the official announcement, chat the
carriers, by cooperative action. as sug-
gested IN its circular letter of April %,
would submit definite and agreed
plan for the distribution of the entire
fund, but this apparently has proven
lmpractlCable. The Committee Of the
Association Of Railway Executives. in
addition to the appointments for the
several purposes indicated above, ha 5
recommended that the commission Of
fer to each company having indicated
desire to purchase equipment its
percentage of the S125 100000, being
that percentage which the standard re-
turn OF the company bears. to the total
standard return of ali the railroads.
The National Association of Owners of
Railroad Securities opposes this plan
The applications of some Of the
carriers are TOO indefinite to afford a
basis for intelligent determination; q
number have failed to make applica
tons in the form or to give the in
formation required by the commission S

After setting May 30 IS the date fo1
hearing applications for loans, the
statement said the commission would
not follow the arbitrary methods of al
location, but would endeavor to appor-
ton the fund in a manner to most
nearly meet the needs of the country
AS at present advised, the commission
announced tentatively the following
principles according to which it ap,
pears the distribution of the fund
should be effected:

AUSTIN, Tex. May 21-A shorta &c
of $3.50 cars to move grain. said to De

cause of lack of storage facilities, was
reported to-day to the Interstate Com

that $500 cars of grain were tied up

The Texas committee urged that the
United States Shipping Board and the

A grain embargo has been levied at
Galveston and it has been ordered that
no more grain be shipped there for ex-
port. except on special permit.

Refrigerator Cars First Need

"One of the most immediate needs is
for refrigerator cars for the movement
Of perishable foodstufs.
"Other very pressing needs are for
other freight train ears and for loco
motives.
The fund should be distributed in
such way a. TO effect the largest posi-
bic contributions from the carriers to
meet the sums advanced by the United
States.
The s125,oooooo for equipment
might best be disbursed through a ma
tiona} equipment corporation, in which
the carriers would take stock for %
per cent Of the cost of the equipment
the United States advancing the cash
for the stock W to 1926, 900 and
the remaining IS per cent being
financed through car trust. Provi-
sion would have to be made for ade-
quate per diem or rental with such an
arrangement.
In the event such equipment cor
poration cannot be organized, then the
fund should be distributed to those
carriers which individually can meet
the governments advances with large
proportional amounts financed by them
selves.
Loans should not be granted for ad-
ditions and betterments Of roads UNI
less il be clearly demonstrated that
these improvements Will facilitate ma
terally the movement of equipment"
