GUT RAIL RATES
HARD|NG'S PLEA
EXECUTIVES PROMISE TO AID IN
GETTING REDUCTIONS.
CONFER AT THE WHITE HOUSE
Railroad Officials Tell President His
Request for Slashing OF Freight
Rates Is Justified.

Washington, d. C.-Railroad presi-
dents of the country agreed with
President Harding to do all in their
power to bring about voluntary rail-
road freight rate reductions, particu-
larly on basic commodities, in order
TO serve in bringing about a return of
prosperity.
After nearly five hours conference
at the White House, where they were
dined by the chief executive, the rail-
road officials told the president that
they felt his plea for a readjustment
of freight rates downward was 1usti-
fled, although there were many oper-
ating problems to be taken into con
sideration.
They voted al the conclusion OF the
long discussion to name a committee
from the railroads to take up the
problem and to recommend what vol
untary action could be taken toward
lowering the rates.
Following the conference, Presi-
dent Harding authorized Secretary
Christian to make an official state
ment.
1.-THE railroad presidents voiced a
unanimous desire to make the fullest
possible contribution to restored and
maintained prosperity.
"Of course, the various aspects OF
the transportation problem were dis
cussed, particularly the necessary
preparation in new and repaired
equipment to amply serve the coun-
try when the normal sway Of com
merce is restored.
THE president made it clear to his
guests that he was undertaking none
of the duties OF rate making or recon-
mending, but that he felt much could
be accomplished in a conference and
that helpful results must attend the
cooperation of the railway heads
with a government body charged with
the duty of regulating rates.
after a thorough discussion the
presidents voted to have a committee
named from their membership to take
up the problem and recommend what
action should be taken"
