:. WEDNESDAY,
SAYS FREIGHT RATE
CUT NOT JUSTIFIED
Railroads Are Earning Less
Than Five Per Cent, Pennsy
Representative Says.

Washington, March s.--The Inter
state Commerce Commisslons investl-
cation OF freight rate levels entered
Its final stage today when counsel for
all the railroads OF tho United States
and most OF tho business and shipping
interests began summing up evidence
taken during three months OF hearings
For the railroads. Henry Wolf Bike,
OF tho Pennsylvania system, declared
the evidence had proved n general rate
reduction impossible.
Mr.. Biklc said tho earning power OF
tho railroads. by actual experience,
during 1921. amounted to 3 3-i0 per
cent on their Investment and that. con-
sidering only the last six months OF
1921 when wage decreases and other
decreased operating expeneea were ef-
icctive. the earnings were 449 per
cent. Sections of the transportation ac'
fX a per cent return as reasonable.
The showing Is that while expenses
Of the railroad operations have been TO
some extent diminished" Mr.. Bil,le
said. they have no, been diminished To
such an extent aa 10 permit further
general reductions in rates. unless
these reductions are preceded by re-
ductions In wages"
Though the transportation act pro-
vision of 6 per cent expired March j.
Mr.. Bike said. the commission itself
would have the duty OF determining n
standard of reasonable return. and
could hardly escape the conclusion that
this was proper amount.
Have YOU considered what we shall
do ~ case Il Ia impossible to make
rates that will give railroads per
cent2' Commissioner Atchison uuer-
led.
We consider that the law requires
the commission TO fix the rates go that
the earnings shall be either 6 per cen,
or near that as may be-" Mr.. Bikle
replied: III you diminish earnings
which have not been equal TO 6 per
cent you are not carrying out tho law"
Are we TO understand that the car
riers are not asking return greater
than per cent In any case2 ComInIs-
sioner Potter inquired.
THAT is correct" Mr.. Bike said.
