RAIL METHODS
OF OPERATION
UNDER PROBE
Commissioners Are Scan
ming Management to Help
on Rate Ruling.
BY II. o. THOMPSON,
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, July 14.-The In
terstate Commerce Commission,
which Wednesday begins hearings
on the petition of the nations rail-
roads for increased freight rates,
has acted upon it's own initiative to
obtain facts Of railroad management
which will not be developed at the
rate investigation.
The commission wants to know
whether the railroads are being
operated economically and efficient
ly. To get this information, it has
ordered full investigation of rail-
road practices.
1t was believed the results Of the
Inquiry would have great weight In
consideration of the railroads plea
that their revenues should be boil
stored some $500, 100000 by rate in
creases.
II the commission discovers that
the carriers are operated waStefully
and are overlooking economies that
might make rate increase unnec-
cessary, the commission naturally
would not be sympathetic to the
cries of distress. A finding that all
legitimate economies we're being
practiced would shift the emphasis
back to higher rates as source of
the revenues which rail executives
say are needed so badly.
1t was announced the first sub
jects to be considered would be the
prices paid for railroad fuel, the
handling of coal at tidewater points
and for lake shipment, the disposal
of freight cars and the methods of
sporting cars on spur tracks for
industries, and the construction and
maintenance of sidings for shippers.
The hearings which begin
Wednesday are the first stage of the
rate proceedings. Railroad execu-
tives have been gathering here for
days and Monday began a series of
conferences and committee meet
ings. j. j. Pelley of the New York,
New Have e. Hartford is organic
ing the railroads case.
