with other New England carriers was
presented to the governors committee
in statement by President james
Hustis yesterday.
He suggested, If the committee was
convinced that an emergency exists
sufficient to warrant temporary in
crease in rates, that it recommend TO
The interstate commerce commission
that they chould Immediately grant the
increase in rates and undertake such
investigation during the period that the
temporary rates are in effect.
"All we are now asking" he said,
sis an amount sufficient to bridge us
over until more normal conditions re-
turn as to prices and wages.
Increased passenger fares and
freight rates do not offer permanent
solution of the New England railroad
question" the president stated. "On
the contrary, rates and fares are al
ready high and the tendency OF fur
Their increase may be to turn addition
al local freight traffic over to the mo-
tor trucks and to some extent to re-
strict travel.
"When conditions Justify such ac'
ton, some existing freight rates should
be reduced and there should be horl'
zontal reduction in the present stand
ard passenger fares.
"On the other hand there are freight
rates in New England that do not

cost of handling the traffic and such
rates should as promptly as possible
be increased to remunerative basis
'It has always been the policy OF
the Boston and Maine, and | am sure
that this statement is also true Of
other New England roads, to maintain
to the greatest extent possible, such
rates on raw material shipped into
New England manufacturers on a par

country with their competitors west
OF the Hudson river. There is no dis
position to make permanent change
in this policy.
making due allowance for any fall
ing off in freight or passenger traffic
we believe that the proposed temporary
rates. together with what benefit may
accrue as a result of the divisions
case, will yield the Boston and Maine
an amount sufficient to at least meet
its fixed charges. although not suffi
cient to provide for necessary renewals
and improvements chargeable TO CAPT
tai account, or to pay dividends.
Substantial reductions have beer
made in the number of employees, but
owing to the large proportion Of tixec
forces il has not been possible to make
reductions in payroll commensurate
with the extreme decline In revenue
Within the past four months, however
the number Of employees on the Boston
& Maine has been reduced by nearly q
per cent.
"That there should be a readjust
ment of both wages and working condi
tions has been recognized by the rail
road managers from the beginning anc
that they have taken every possible
and proper course to bring about such
changes within the limitations PLACED
upon them by law viii be recognized

VANS CAFE
BURCALARIzED
NIGHT WAITER SLUGGED, TIED
AND LEFT UNCONSCIOUS
$3.50 MISSING
Thief Entered Through Locked
Kitchen Door Tuesday Night
At Midnight

Vans Cafe was robbed Tuesday
night about midnight and the night
waiter O. A. Barr, was found
bound and almost unconscious
Wednesday morning about two
o'clock, by the night watchman Frank
Perras and the merchant police Will
liam Lowden, $25.3O was taken from
the cash drawer. When found, Barr
had napkin tied over his mouth
and his hands were tied between his
knees and there was a scratch over
his left temple.
Barr does not have much recollec-
tion of just what happened except
that he heard noise in the kitchen
and went back to investigate and
a man taller than he lover 5 ft. 6 in.)
with a dark moustache, whom he had
never seen before, attacked him. The
lights were out in the kitchen and
he could not give any further de-
tails regarding his assailant. The
kitchen door was locked and investi
cation shows that the man gained
entrance by breaking the latch.
The night watchman was the first
to notice anything wrong. Passing
there he noticed some one on the
floor behind the counter, but thought
it was the hoy scrubbing the floor
and passed on. Later the merchant
police Loudon, passed and noticed
that the lights were on rather late
at the cafe and met the night watch
man up the street and mentioned it
to him. They thought at the time
that the boy had forgotten to turn
the lights out and went back to the
cafe to turn the lights out. In doing
so they stumbled over the form of
Barr behind the counter. They re-
leased him from his cramped posi-
ton. His arms were blue and his
body numb and they took him to a
doctor for inspection.
Barr, who is only about 20 years
old, had been here but a month. He
left for Spokane Wednesday morning,
expecting to return in a day or two.
f. J. Van Buren was in Spokane at
the time Of the burglary, with a sis
ter who is seriously i'll.
