Note-There is one discrepancy
between the story appearing below
and the facts as verified by The
Star which, ordinarily, would be
considered as removing any value
that might lie In its publication.
The author of the story states that
he was brought into court on a
charge of vagrancy after detective
had asked him whether or not he
had a. job or money. According to
records at the court, however, the
charge against the man was begging
on the streets, and as he was ar
rested at 2 o'clock in the morning,
his apprehension would probably be
considered justifiable if for the sake
of investigation alone.
The jail sentence, however, is an
other matter. And, what is more i'm
portant still, the story as told below
could be true and the facts related
could take place in Washington,
and it is presented here as an in
tenSely interesting document.

COMMISSION TO
HEAR PLEA FOR
RAIL RATE HIKE
u. S. Officials Surprised at
Bold Demand of
Carriers.
BY n. o. THOMPSON
Tnited Press stan Corresnondent


WASHINGTON, June 18.-The
first reaction of officials VINO must
pass upor the petition of the ma
tons railroads for IS per cent
increase in freight rates was dis
closed today to be one OF surprise
that the carriers had made such a
bold and in some respects revo-
lutionary demand.
The machinery for official con-
sideration Of the document was set
in motion as soon as the petition
was filed with the interstate COM
MERGE commission Wednesday.
A meeting was set for Saturday
between committee of the inter-
state commerce commission and
committee representing state rail-
road commissions.
Sees Threat in Trucks
The various state railroad and
utility commissions, interested in the
petition because interstate as well
as interstate rates are concerned,
have been informed by John E.
Benton, general solicitor, that the
document in some respects is a sur
prising paper"
The letter sent out by Benton ex-
pressed surprise that the carriers,
realizing the inroads truck COM
petition might make If rail rates
were increased. actually proposed TO
increase all rates.
That the carriers really intend to
do themselves the injury which
would result from thus increasing
all rates regardless of consequences
seems scarcely possible. They doubt
less depend upon the regulatory
commissions to save them from their
own proposal, he said.
Dwindling Revenue Stressed
The second surprising thing
about the application is that it
openly asks the commission to
authorize their proposed increases
without passing upon the reason
ableness of the rates which will be
produced thereby"
The petition, stressing the
emergency which confronts rail-
roads because Of dwindling revenues
and instability Of their securities,
asked the commission to waive the
usual extensive investigation. Any
inquiry by the commission, the
carriers urged. should "be of a
limited character and should be for
the purpose of reaching a de-
termination as to whether Or not
the general schedules of rates
and charges proposed should be per-
mitted to become effective without
suspension
