PULLMAN FARE BOOST
OF ONE-FIFTH UPHELD
Federal Report Disnisses Pro-
tests by Statesmen.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Chief Exam
ine@ Quirk of the Interstate Commerce
Commission to-day recommended dis
missal of the complaint Of the National
Council of Travelling Salesmen's Assoc
citation and other travelling mems or
ganizations against the 20 per cent. in
crease in Pullman car rates, which be-
came effective May l, 1920.
Ills report found that the increase
was not unreasonable, despite the COM
plant of the travelling men that ii in
creased gross revenues approximately
$4,000. 600 annually.
''The rate reduction here sought
would. If granted" the report said,
practically dissipate the revenues de-
rived from the rate increase. Any such
reduction without reductions in oper-
ating expenses-more substantial than
can now be foreseen-would not only
unduy impair defendants operating in
come. but would create deficit
'"rhe claim that the rate reduction
sought. If made. would stimulate travel
in Pullman cars to such an extent as
to increase rather than diminish de
PENDANTS revenue is too speculative to
be accepted as basis for condemning
the rates"

Ratification of the New York Central

Washington, ID. c., Sept. 22.
President Harding. 1t was announced
to-day. will give to mine operators and
miners an opportunity to present their
views regarding the personnel Of the
Finding Commission authorized by
Congress to investigate the coal In
dustry. While the President intends the
commission to be composed entirely OF
representatives of the public, he will
invite the representatives of the miners
ard operators to submit panel OF per-
haps twenty names.
Conrad Il. Spens, ce-president of the
Chicago Burlington and Quincy Rail-
way, was appointed by President Hard
ing to-day as Federal Fuel Distributor
under the new coal distribution and an
ti-profiteering act. Mr.. Spens takes the
place of H. B. Spencer. who had been
temporary distributor but who had re-
fused permanent appointment. Mr..
Spens was chief OF the transportation
division of the Food Administration dur
ing the war and was selected by the
President for the reason that transpor-
tation is the main factor in the coal sit
uation.
Summarizing the coal situation in his
letter OF appointment the President
stated that the voluntary agreements
made by Secretary of Commerce Hoover
are already having a beneficial effect !;
that satisfactory arrangements have
been made for the control OF anthra-
cite prices and that the main problem
in the bituminous field is the question
OF full cooperation between all railroad
officials and mine operators. He added !:
"The Federal Government is loath to
undertake to fix definite prices for coal.
because of the Objectionable character
of such intervention in peace times.
because of the difficulty in arriving at
fair prices without giving undue favor
TO some and loss to others, and also
because of the incompleteness of an
authority which is only supplementary
