QUESTIONS WISDOM
OF RAISING RATES
Chairman Of /. c. c. Compares
Commodity Prices With
Transportation Costs

Washington, July 20.-R}-The wis
dom of raising freight rates when
general commodity prices are declin-
ing was questioned Monday by an
Interstate Commerce Commissioner
considering the appeal Of the rail-
roads for q rate increase.
Commissioner Eastman asked Fair
man r. Dick Of Roosevelt and Com
pany, New York, a witness favoring
the increase. II he thought it econom-
ically sound to put railroad rates too
high compared with other commodi-
ties.
+. Dick replied the railroads could not
help it and that much Of the charges
was necessary to meet increased taxes
and branch line operations.
At the outset Of the hearings Mon
day. Eastman inquired whether the
propaganda Of the railroads for an
increase would not adversely affect
investments. Dick replied he did not
think so II the increase were granted
Eastman said "ton-mile" charges
for freight had increased so percent
since 1916 but commodities were l;
percent lower than at that time.
Il want to know whether you think
it economically sound to put rates al
such . high figure as compared with
1882" Eastman asked.
Dick said he could not answer.

POPE Plus PRAYS
FOR new MIRACLE
Pontiff Asks That 'Blindest OF
the Blind May Be Made to
See Rightly

Rome, July 20.-R-An address
by Pope Plus, in which he prayed fol-
a miracle that would make the
blindest of the blind see." was in
terpreted Monday as q reference tc
the Fascist party and as an indication
Of a new and promising spirit In the
controversy between the church and
the Italian government.
It was accepted in Rome that IN
this pronouncement the pope had
adopted the attitude Of q compass
sionate father and had disregarded
the role Of reproving critic.
In connection with this interpre-
tation, it was pointed out Premier
Mussolini's tone had been somewhat
quieter lately so far as the church
controversy Is concerned.
The Pope, in an address Sunday
celebrating the virtues of the ven
cradle Caterina LaBoure, declared
miracles were greatly needed Tin q
moment when the whole church SUI
fers when its head suffers, which sor-
rows when its head sorrows, which Is
struck when one Of its most precious
parts Is struck"
Without mentioning the Fascists
by name, the Pontiff prayed for a
miracle that. the blind may see, and
that those may see who do not hear,
do not understand and do not COM
prehend."

DEATH OPENS new
POLITICAL WARFARE
Tug Of War for Seven Congress.
sionaI Seats. Emptied by
Grim Reaper, Looms

Washington, July 20.-R-Con-
g~ressional seats emptied by death
have opened anew in six states the
political tug of war begun last No.
vember for mastery Of the house.
Administration forces returned
from the last election with a majority
of two, but since have seen that mar
gin cut and restored as members of
both parties died. Monday house
rolls show PA Republicans, 2l3 Dem
ocrats, one Farmer Laborite and
seven vacancies.
Ohio, with two, Wisconsin, Michi-
gan, Pennsylvania, Georgia and New
York, with one vacancy each, supply
the fields Of contest on which con-
troll of the house may hinge. Control
now is doubtful with groups in both
parties f~orecasting victory while
others disclaim any desire to organ
ize for a session which history may
record as one Of the most turbulent.
Internal party dissension aggra-
waited by the depression and sectional
interests loom large on the horizon
and may prove a weightier factor in
the outcome than opportunities pro-
vided each party to gain strength In
the vacant districts.
Already progressive groups have
made concrete legislative demands as
the price OF supporting either party
candidate for the speakership and q
deadlock has been predicted in some
quarters unless these demands are
met.

Upward Revision of West
ern Tariffs

washington, July 20.-(R-Two In
terstate commerce commission exam
liners Monday recommended to the
commission an upward revision OF
freight rates on hay throughout the
west.
The examiners. reporting on their
investigation of the commodity under
the Hoch-Smith resolutions, recon-
mended a minimum rate Of 10 cents
per 100 pounds for hauls Of 10 miles
or less. grading upward as distances
increased. For the Mountain Pacific
territory the minimum rate would
be II cents.
Minimum carload weights were
fixed at from $4,000 to 10000 pounds,
depending on the length Of the car
used.
The examiners said hay often was
moved in equipment unsuitable for
hauling grain and without expedited
or special service and required COM
paratively little movement Of empty
cars. They added that from its ma
ture 1t could be expected to do no
more than pay its way" and that
rates should be fixed providing the
railroads q minimum Of profit.
