RAILROADS OF
EAST TO ASK
hike IN RATES
Committee of Executives Is
. Chosen to Work for
Freight Boosts.

BIZ United Pyess
NEW YORK, May 22-Executives
Of nearly all railroads east Of the
Mississippi have decided an approx
mate increase Of 10 per cent on
freight rates is necessary immedi-
ately. to give them an annual in
crease Of s4OO,oOO,ooo in revenues
and restore credit debated by the
present economic crisis.
A resolution requesting the inter-
state commerce commission to re-
store freight rates to a level which
will build up the credit of the serv-
ice was unanimously adopted at a
meeting Of the eastern presidents
association here.
The executives saw an increase as
the only means Of averting addi-
tional cutting Of wages and a solu-
ton to the present financial dilemma
Of the carriers.
Forty Executives Present
The meeting, attended by forty
presidents and vice-presidents Of
roads east of the Mississippi,
brought out the general opinion
that not only would an increase in
freight rates avoid a general slash
ing Of payrolls, but actually would
hasten emergence from the depres-
sion. They adopted this attitude on
the theory that when railroads are
prosperous, so are the other in
dustries.
The rate increase resolution was
presented by Leonard ?. Loree,
president Of the Delaware 81 Hud-
son Company, and met with imme-
date approval. He then was asked
to name a committee to study the
situation and present the request to
the interstate commerce commits
sion.
Loree already had made a list of
the men he favored on the commit
tee and named them at once. They
are w. w. Atterbury, president of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany; Patrick E. Crowley, president
OF the New York Central; Daniel
Willard, president Of the Baltimore
az Ohio; j. NJ. Davis, president of
the Delaware, Lackawanna & West
ern; j. J. Policy, president of the
New. York, New Haven e. Hartford.
and Charles II. Eix, president of the
Virginia railway
All Roads Represented
This gave representation to
every section Of the east. Pelley
later was named chairman at a
meeting of the committee. The
group will meet again in about a
week and discuss means of accom-
pllshing the increase.
1t is not planned to levy a fiat
rate Of 10 per cent on all commod-
tiles, but to adopt a scale which
will range from 2 per cent on Ger
tain products to 20 per cent on
others.
In 1921, after the government
turned the railroads back to
private ownership following the
war, an increase of approximately
40 per cent was granted the car
fiers. This finally amounted to
a fiat increase Of about Is per cent.
Rates Have Been Cut
Since that time, rates have been
pared either by carriers or by the
government, causing a loss of nearly
$6,oo0,O00,000 in a decade. 1t was
estimated that last year, alone, in
comes Of the roads were reduced
$800,0O0,000.
The increase which the carriers
now seek is less than one-half of
that granted in 1921. Many of the
executives expressed the opinion
that the last increase had much to
do with pulling the country out of
the economic depression then.

record, sort of log, of everything he
did, of his experiments, Of his calcu-

down in tablets which had alternate

penciled notes. From his point of view
it wasn't important which he brought
home. He had with him in his per-
sonal possession all the time an abso-
lutely complete record Of all the work
he had done, against the chance that
Forster might some time try to beat
him out of his dues.
'Well, he completed his process right
up to the outline of the last confirma-
tory experiments. He had it right, at
last, the day before he died."
"You can't prove that!" Forster
snarled.
you're going to prove 1t for me-"
Martin answered, within five min
utes." Then he turned back"to Rhoda.
Forster had his process and he
didn't doubt that. he was safe in steal
ing your fathers share of it. He made
his deal and his contracts. collected
his royalties. The probable existence
of your fathers copy Of their contract
didn't bother him a bit. He could say
what he said to us just now and there
was, he thought, no proof to the con-
trary. But at some time or other, not
so very long ago I imagine, looking
over the log that he'd found in the
laboratory, he discovered here and
there a carbon sheet in place Of the
original. And then he knew what your
father had DONE He knew that If
these sheets hadn't been destroyed and
ever fell into the hands Of any friend
of yours who recognized what they
were, he could be forced to an account
ing and made to pay every cent that
the contract called for. When he
realized that he began to advertise for
the whereabouts of Rhoda Mcfarland"
Forster's face was shining with
sweat but once more he bleated stub
bornly, 'You can't prove it."
ST said you were going to prove it,
Martin reminded him. "You have
proved it to my satisfaction by coming
here today. But I'll tell you what I'm
going to do. If you insist that the
process you are using isn't Professor
McFarland's process but something
else, I'll publish these notes of his and
make the world present of them"
Forster sank back in his chair with
a groan. "All right" he said. I'll
buy them of you. How much do you
want?'
Martin turned to Uncle William. 81

LOSING
POPULATION

Further evidence Of the decline
in the rural population Of the
Nation was contained in figures
made public today by the Census
Bureau.
The farm population Of the
nation on April /, 1880, was
3O,447 $50, or 24.8 per cent of
the total population, in 1920 it
was 31,6l4.269, or 29.9 per cent
of the total population.
A sharp increase, however, is
shown in the rural nOn-farm
population, which comprises
people living in rural territory
but not on farms. The number
in 1880 is 23,662,710 as compared
to 2O,O47,3 1877 in 1920.
No explanation Of the increase
in the rural non-farm population
is offered by the bureau. Some
officials credit the automobile,
which has made it possible for
persons to live in the country
and work in the city.

New A. & p. Program

Following the announcement
that new contract had been
signed for another year of A.
& P. Gypsy concerts, the oldest
now on the air, comes news of
an important change in the mus
ical plans for this program.
instead of concert once a
week, there are to be two con.
certS-one on Monday evening
from 9 to, 9:3O o'clock, and the
other on Thursday nights from
10 to 10:30.
The Monday night concert will
consist of the sort of music for
which the ASEP GypSies are
famous. But when, on Septem-
ber 3, Hairy Horlick broadcaSts
the first of his new Thursday
night programs with a special
dance combination of AS1P Gyp-
sieS, it will be to show the world
that dance music can be real
music.
Horlick is convinced that the
loud criticism of present day
dance music is due to the in
. ability of many r: dio orchestras
to play it well. Hollick blames
the tiresome tom-tom type of
dance rendition. The 'hot-stuff,'
'cha-cha' style ir dance music
was a temporary fad" he says.
There is too much of it on the
air now. Far more effective
dance music can be played by
resorting to subtle harmonies an:
subtle Syncopations. Schumann
himself proved that syncopated
rhythms could be beautiful to
listen to. The dance music we
will play will be ( ccially ar
ranged by Max Terr, and will
sparkle and scintillate, and flow
along smoothly, melodiously,
brilliantly"
These new programs will be
heard locally over station WBAL
at 10 o'clock on Thursday nights,
and the regular A. & p. Gypsy
concerts over station WRC at 8
o'clock on Monday nights.
