Railroad Rates.

1t is said that the railroads IN
tend to ask for PERMISSION to
make another wage cut before
long, and that if they get it they
will lower rates.
If the roads are wise, they will
reverse the process. 1t is not
likely that the Interstate Com
merce Commission, however gen.
erously inclined it may be. will
consent to. another wage cut
while rates remain as high as
they are. 1t is still less likely
that the railroad employees would
accept second cut without a
rate cut coming first, or that the
public would support any such
procedure.
The demand for lower rates is
| growing stronger right along.
1t has been>given much impetus
by the action of Henry Ford, in
making big rate reductions on
his railroad. 1t is observed that
Mr.. Ford not only did it without
reducing wages, but accompanied
the rate cut with a wage raise.
There will be no general demand
for the other railroad owners tc
follow Mr.. Ford's spectacular
business methods, but the lessor
