INCREASE IN RATES

( Washington. Oct. l.--(Fj-A plea
that the railroads must increase
freight rates or fall far short OF earn
ing fixed charges this year was placed
before the Interstate Commerce COM
mission Monday by r. v. Fletcher
railway attorney.
The carriers seek to increase rates
q total Of $l70,000,000 a year.
Fletcher, counsel for the Associa-
ton of Railway Executives. said the
railroads merely seek to advance the
price of what they sell when costs they
cannot control make such action I'M
perative.
Due to circumstances over which
they have no control" Fletcher SAID,
the operating expenses of the rail-
roads have ts4n increased by nearly
$500 100000 annually. Without an IN
crease in the rate case. the railroad
industry this year will probably fall
short of earning fixed charges by S73,-
600 900 as compared with similar de-
ficit of less than 100000 in 1888"
THE increase in operating ex-
penses," he said, lis due to COM
bination of increased wages and rising
prices of the materials and supplies
used in railway operation. The wage
increase was the outcome OF con-
troversy In the solution OF which the
president of the United States and
the federal coordinator of transporta-
ton participated. It assumed. there
fore. the aspect Of a government &C
tivity.
"The increase in material costs fol-
lowed the operation OF the national

ton of the codes organized thereun-
der"
Two-thirds OF the railway mileage OF
the country is being operated at a
loss. DR.. Julius H. Parmelee, director
Of the bureau Of railway economics,

He declared that whereas net in

preceding year, from May, 1885, to
April. 1894, the reverse Is now true"
