CUT ORDERED IN
RAILROAD RATES
Interstate Commerce Commits.
sion Makes Big Reduction
In Freight Charges
PASSENGER FARES TO STAND
Declares Railroads Are Entitled To
Harm 52 Per Cent On Value Of
Property In Comparison With
Former Six Per Cent Rate.

Washington.-A sweeping reduction
In freight rates throughout the coun.
try was ordered by the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
The reductions are to be effective
July /.
The reductions ordered will cut the
present rates about 10 per cent, the
decision Of the commission states.
The commission also declared that
railroad rates in the future would be
based on return Of 5& per cent on
the aggregate value of the lines, as
compared with 6 per cent under the
Esch- -Cummins law. The provision
Of the Esch-Cummins law recently
expired and the commission was
given the right to fix a new rate of
return.
In making the reductions the COM
mission cut nearly in half the freight
rate increases authorized August rs,
1920.
In the eastern district the 40 per
cent increase Of August 25, 1920. was
cut to 26 per cent.
In the western district the previous
55 per cent increase was cut to 21M
per cent.
In the southern and mountain Pa
ciflc districts the previous rate IN
crease of 25 per cent was cut from
25 to 12k per cent
Interterritorial rate increases Of
August 20, 1920, averaging 1914 per
cent, were cut to 20 per cent.
The announcement of the rate cut
came as surprise. 1t had been sup
posed that the administration would
continue it's efforts to reach a volun-
tary agreement with the railroad ex-
ecutives by which greater rate reduc.
tions would be put into effect at once
The commission declared that the
cuts which affect all interstate freight
rates, would not decrease the earn
ings Of the railroads below the 5%
per cent level agreed upon by the
commission.
Transportation charges on passen-
ger travel and Pullman charges were
left unaffected by the decision.

HARDING CONFERS
With RAILROAD HEADS
President Gets Promise of Help
From Executives in Restoring
Business Conditions

Washington, d. Request was
made by President Harding at con-
ference with 10 Of the leading railroad
House dinner conference for the CO.
operation of the larger railroads of
the country with the Interstate Com
merce Commission to bring about re-
ductions of railroad rates. An agree
ment was reached for the creation of
special committee to take up the
matter further.
The entire matter was gone over
during the conference, which was
also participated in by Secretary
Hoover, and it was declared in a
White House statement issued after
the meeting had terminated that the
railroad executives were unanimous
ly in favor of assisting the restora-
ton of business by such rate action
as they might find possible to take.
The railroad executives departed
Immediately and declined to discuss
the conference, which lasted until a
late hour.
The Interstate Commerce body
has before 1t more or less urgent rep
resentations of shippers made in its
general rate inquiry, in favor of down
ward rate adjustment, but has not
reached a decision. The President is
said to have been told that legal re-
quirements laid upon the commission
will not, in the opinion of some of the
members, allow material reductions
TO be enforced by regulative orders.
Legally, the commission must give
railroads a reasonable return on val
ue Of their capital in fixing rates.
The railroads have persistently ar
gued that operating costs, which they
contended were partially controlled
by another government body, the rail-
road labor board. which fixes wages,
must be brought down further before
railroad rates can be materially low
cred. The President has been repre-
sented as feeling that executive in
JURY and possibly voluntary efforts
by railroads might be effective in the
situation.
