WOULD DELAY CUT
Railway Chief Asks Suspension
of Rates Reductions.
Challenged Before I. C. C. by
Clyde Reed of Kansas.
ARGUMENTS CALLED SNARE
Wage Level Reason for High
Schedule Says Thorn.
General Counsel Declares Roads
Get No Cooperation.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Speaking for
all the railroads of the country, AL
fred P. Thorn, general counsel for
the Association of Railway Executives,
asked the interstate commerce COM
mission today to suspend for six
months its recent orders for rate re-
ductions on grain and products and
hay in the west and in the meanwhile
to allow the roads to try the expert
ment of installing a 10 per cent reduc-
ton on farm, range and orchard pro-
ducts thruout the United States except
in New England.
Challenged by Clyde Reed.
Arguments presented by Mr.. Thorn
were challenged by Clyde NJ. Reed,
chairman of the Kansas utilities COM
mission who asserted the 10 per cent
cut to be Il snare and delusion." ana
by John E. Benton, speaking for A
other western state railroad commits
sions who asserted the federal commits
sion having once held the present rate
of grains unreasonably high, had no
power to let them stand unchanged
under the law.
Mr. Thorn said the commission in
ordering the reductions on the grain
and hay assigned the distressing con-
0itions of agriculture as the controll-
ing IdClOTg DuLy IlG COt4l1IiUcOH IlAC
railroads too are suffering from gen
eral business depression and in an ex-
aggerated way because of the effects
of government control and the pecu-
liar disability attaching to them in the
attempts to make settlements for the
costs and charges arising out Of the
control
Must Consider Costs.
But they regard the added labor
kIn ont m
eration,' Mr.. Thorn added, "as the
real obstacle to a fair readjustm ment
of railroad charges for transportation.
The railroads hope with the aid of
public opinion to obtain a reduction.
We regard the wage level as the real
reason why the present standard OF
rates muSs be retained.
"Yet when the questions arising out
of the wage situation are brought to
the railroad labor board, we find one
of its members presenting to the labor
unions a program agreed upon in ad-
vance that would postpone any reduc-
tions of wages for months and we, the
labor leaders. later giving that reason
for calling off national strike"
To Probe Revenues.
The question of existing wages paid
to employees will be brought into the
hearings when the commission in
quires into the extent to which operat-
ing expenses have been reduced since
the general advance in rates in the
summer of 1920. either thru changes
in working conditions, or wage reduc-
tions.
Specific inquiry is to be made into
the increase in the gross and net reve-
nues which have resulted from the
general rate advance. On this point
will arise the question of whether it
is practicable at this time to readjust
~
and if not, what commodities should
be subjected to revision of this kind.
