RAILROADS MAY SEEK
SURCHARGE EXTENSION

By the Associated Press.
A railroad demand for extension of
emergency surcharges beyond January
was predicted in some quarters today
after the Interstate Commerce Com
mission had ordered a new inquiry into
the special freight rates.
Commission officials predicted the
investigation, ordered after railroads
requested that some emergency sur
charges be retained. as part of basic
rates, would last six months.
The surcharges, due to expire ut the
end of this year, were authorized in
1885 to offset depression drops In
revenues.
Opposed to the railroads demands
are the arguments of 800 shippers and
business associations against continued
surcharges. The commission said 1t
will make a general investigation,
starting January 6, of. present basic
rail and waterway rates.
