NO GENERAL
CUT IN RATES
Cummins Says Charges
Cannot Come Down Until
Expenses Drop
NO CHANGE IN LAW
LIKELY, IT is SAID

WASHINGTON, July There
will be no general reduction of rail-
road rates and no material changes
in the Esch-Cummins Transporta-
tion act this year. That is the opin-
ion Of the men in Congress who
have been in closest touch with the
investigation into the condition OF
the railroads, and It is the opinion
OF the best informed outside Of Con-
gress.
The investigating by the Senate
Committee on Interstate Commerce,
headed by Senator Cummins, which
has been under way for weeks. has
been suspended until the latter part
of August or early IN September.
Thus far only the railroad people
and S. Davies Warheld and other
representatives of the owners of
railroad securities have been heard.
When the hearings are resumed rep
resentatives Of labor and the ship
pers are expected to go on the
stand.
The best-posted men in Congress
on the railroad situation have nc
idea that the hearings will result in
any concrete action this year. Their
view is that the hearings already
held and those to be held are inn
portant for the educational value to
the public. in revealing the causes OF
the railroads distress, but not other
wise important at this time-either
as TO rates or to changes in the laws
such as advocated by Mr. Wariield
1t is the purpose of these men, and
Il is likely that their views will con-
troll. TO allow more time for the
thorough testing Of the Transporta-
ton Act
As TO rates, the thought Of Sena-
tor Cummins the foremost railroad
authority in the Senate, and of those
who follow him, is this:
Rates cannot come down unless
the operating expenses OF the rail-
roads come down. Any court would
hold the present rates to be CON
nscatory if the railroads went into
court and asked for a review, since
the rates are failing TO yield a fah
return on the railroads property. Bu
the roads will not go into court
because higher rates under preseh
business conditions would not yiel'
any more revenue. AS the rates can
not come down until there is a de
crease in operating expenses. an,
arbitrary reduction would have to hl
met out OF the Federal Treasury
which is not contemplated There
fore. the only course is 20 wait unit
the falling costs of wages and sup
plies reach the point where the rail
roads will be able with safety to Gu
rates.
That of course, deals with a gen
eral reduction. 1t does not affect tn
reductions that are involved In som
b OF the thousands OF rate readjusl
r ments that are being made In a
q parts Of the country. These readjus
ments. however, are not deslgne

out imposing a serious burden on the
country"
1T must inevitably increase the
war burden which the people have
TO bear" he continued. 1T should
be financed only by adding to the
burden of debt and taxes under
which the country is now staggering.
However financed. no such sum
could be taken out of the public
treasury without throwing a CORE
spending load on the whole people
in the form of increased interest
charges, increased taxes and in
creased cost of living.
This problem must be dealt with
in the midst Of extreme and wide
spread industrial depression. These
conditions affect not only industry in
our own country, but are worldwide
and our past experience furnishes nc
sure guide as to their duration"
Continuing. the secretary said that
"our first concern, of course, should
be to make fun provision" for the
needs of disabled veterans.
ITO that object" he said, 'the
country pledged to give Without

ing the bill, the Alabama Senator
said. the Republican majority would

Mr.. Mellon estimated the bill
would cost the country between a
billion and half and five and a quar-
ter billions. that it would "swell the
cost of government and virtually de-
feat the administrator program of
retrenchment and economy" and
that il would block "all refunding
operations on the national debt. and
depress further the prices of liberty
bonds" These, he said. would be
inevitable direct financial conse-
quences." adding that probable in
direct results would be grave dan
ger of renewed imitation, increased
commodity prices, and unsettled
business conditions"

explained. were devoted merely to

worlds tallest building. DIR. Hutchi-
sons proving grounds consisted of a
box Of sand such as he might have
used 10 plant window flowers. The
box was placed on the floor Of his
office, and on top of the sand was a
plate OF regular boiler steel three

placed the muzzle flush against the

pressure on the handle of the
weapon was followed by a click that

developed to hurl a proiectile Of five
tons from 200 to 800 miles, was
demonstrated in the tower OF the
Woolworth Building by DR.. Miller
Reese Hutchison, former chief en-
gineer to Thomas A. Edison. The
weapon was not equipped with a si-

smokeless and fired without recoil.
Soon after DR.. Hutchison had in
terested himself in the invention,
which he predicted could find a wide
range of uses in the peaceful arts,
he was apprised of its tremendous
destructive power by one of the most
able ordnance experts in the coun-
try. The expert was so Interested in
the weapon that. according to Dr
Hutchison, after he had concluded
his inspection, he remarked:
This gun will do more eventually
