QUESTION OF RATES
I. G. C. Chairman Says Margin
Between Revenue and Costs
Must Be Widened.

Equipment Men Told Private
Ownership Is on Trial
Ask H0Over'S Aid.

The railroad situation can be relieved
by neither the raising nor lowering OF
freight rates, according to Edgar u
Clark, chairman of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, who addressed the
Railway Business Association at the
Waldorf-Astoria last night. He felt that
as general thing the rates could go no
higher and also said:
Until the foundation has been laid
for widening the margin between the
revenue and the cost of earning 1t, 1t is
difficult to find justification for an at
tempt at general reduction in rates"
Mr.. Clark discussed railroad prob
lens with President Harding at the
White House yesterday. but last nights
speech was not taken to be a reflection
of that meeting, as 1t was prepared
several days In advance.
The Railway Business Association
composed of men who sell equipment tc
the roads, had its annual meeting In
the afternoon. The after dinner speak.
ers in the evening were its reelected
president Alba B. Johnson; Daniel Will
lard, president of the Baltimore and
Ohio. and Mr.. Clark.
The -Cummins law was warmly
praised by Mr.. Clark. He said too much
energy had been expended in criticising
what seemed at the moment to be weak
nesses and there had been too little dis
position to assist in laying the founda-
ton for the superstructure which that
act contemplates." He said he wished II
were possible to hope for the early con.
solidation made possible by the law, Of

systems under which every reasonable
degree of competition of service will bt

Predicts Lower Rates.

Il have no doubt" said Mr.. Willard.
that public opinion can change again
just as quickly and react just as strong
ly against private ownership If the pub
lie feel that, on the whole, it is likely to
get more satisfactory service in some
other way"
Mr.. Willard said he did not believe
the Esch-Cummins law had failed. On
the contrary. he said. 1t has functioned
100 per cent. in its important features"
He denied that the railroads have broken
down during the last year, pointing out
that they have made 2 per cent more
tonnage miles than during the period of
Government ownership. As to the Esch-
Cummins law preventing strikes. he
said:
II cannot say. of course. that the
law will always prevent strikes. but /
do know that it has prevented them for
one year"
Mr.. Willard predicted lower rates, but
did not say when he expected them to
come He said, however. that it would
be just as foolish for the railroads to ex-
pete to keep rates UP as for any other
industry to expect the price Of its prod
ucts to stay up.

jealous efforts are made to have it
appear that this situation is In large
part due to high freight rates. The
freight rates are high. l have yet to
meet a well informed man who does not
feel that as a general thing they can
be made no higher as a revenue pro-
ducer. Careful inquiry into some dis
tressing situations discloses that the
utilization of products is prevented not
by freight rates, but by economic condi-
tions and perhaps manipulated markets"
President Willard of the Baltimore
and Ohio told the diners that private
ownership and operation was Still. on

NEW YORK. Sept. 27.-If it ever comes on to rain gold dollars soile faithful old ball players will be caught out with their pockets sewed up and their hands laced into l2 ounce gloves. It seems that fellow like Max Carey of the Pirates never can pick up any of this easy World s Series money until the guvernmen starts building handles on S1O bills.
 Max went to the Pirates in 1911, two years after they won the world 5 title in the series with the Tigers, and has been with them .hese last II years Until a few weeks ago it seemed that at last fortune was about to declare him "in' for a share of Worlds Series morey Then the Pirates blew up, staked the Giants to five games in q row and, as developments are about to prove, gave them the National Leagne pen nant Carey's hopes seem to be again deferred.
 Now, then, take Babe Ruth. He came bruisng into the big tsnt as a regular in 1915, and has rad three winners, slices of Worlds Series money so far, with a fine chance to help himself to another this year. If the Yanks beat out the Indians and go into Worlds Series with the Giants. the capacity of the Polo Grounds will be the only limit on the money, and the Babe will receive his fourth Worlds Series share in seven years. probably the largest share in the history of the game.
 Carl Mays and Waffle Schang, also of the Tanks. have been pampered pets of Providence. too. Mays re- ceived two winners shares with the Red Sox. one in 1916. and another in t191S. Schang has had three slices, one a losers share. on two clubs. and now, with his third club. may receive fourth. He has had a winners portion with the Athletics in 1913, short end with the same club in 1914, and another victors percentage with the Red Sox in 1918 with Babe and Mays.
 George Burns of the Giants, twice has had a losers end and is threat ened with his third Worlds Series.

 When Kilbane signed articles to meet Danny Frush of Baltimore in q 12-round bout here recently it was agreed that the commission should name the referee and judges, the two boxers and the promoters agreeing to stand by the commissions choice
 Kilbane first objected to the ap- pointment of Harry Ertle, and then to Ed Smith, Chicago. Walter C. Kelly of Buffalo then was chosen.

 Tex and Kearns have another date and it is expected that the matter will be. clinched. Rickard has had Willard signed up for some tune Jess wants no one but Dempsey.

 It is understood that Kearns be- lieves that Willard ought to go out and beat some good man and prove that he is fit before tackling such a tough proposition as Dempsey.
