RAILROADS UNITED
FOR FREIGHT BOOST
Carriers of Nation to Join in
Plea to RepIenish De-
pIeted Revenue.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 1.-THE railroads
of the Nation stood united today be-
hind a decision to petition the Inter-
state Commerce Commission for a gen.
eral increase in freight rates of Is per
cent.
Representatives of Eastern, Western
and Southern groups of roads who par
ticipated in the agreement reached yes
terday said the increase was designed
to offset some of the reductions in
freight tariffs made since 1921 and
would bring an estimated increase in
revenue of 10 per cent, or about
$400, 100000
The petition was described as an
emergency measure to meet a slump in
rail revenue which has resulted in earn
ings falling to the lowest level in a
decade.
The railroads hope to have their Pc
tition on file within a week and hope
that it will be treated as an emergency
measure by the commission, so that the
increased rates may go into effect
within three months.
They will seek to have an order is
sued by the commission emitting the
90-day suspension clause, under which
rate increases are automatically sus-
pended for that period.
A general increase of Is per cent was
decided upon to make the question one
of revenue, rather than one involving
individual rates, to prevent long debate.
Although the petition will be for a
