Joint Truck Rates

On April 20 the North Dakota railroad board will hold
hearing on proposal Of two truck lines to establish oin
freight rates for the transport of goods.
This fact emphasizes the in which the trucking
industry has in recent and the improved service
which it gives Only few little truck lines served
Isolated communities. It not big business Now It
possible to send goods almost anywhere wide this
service.
And this fact creates new problem.
There is doubt that in respects truck service
better than that furnished by the railroads. although
has improved remarkably in recent years. It's value is proved
by the in which the business has steadily increased from
year to Those amporant carloading statistics which
used to tell the temperature Of business accurately do not
mean what they did, for example, because they contain
reference to truck traffic.
On the other hand 1t IL obvious that the truck cannot now
and perhaps will dspace the need for railroad service
Heavy commodities such coal grain and livestock are being
ucked to be but the bulk Of these and similar items still
moves by rail- the railroad service to be withdrawn
from most communities would be calamity They need the
trucks tor light hauling and the railroads for heavy material
The usual inference is that the trucks and the railroads are
bus engaged In eating each other up it ID no wonder that
regulatory commissions getting headaches over the arg
men The hattie between them getting to be severe one
But the problem still that keeping both transport sys
tens In operation wide That obviously what the
public wants.
On this basis there only possible answers One
TO make rates high enough both trains and trucks operate
at profit The other to enlarge the total volume Of traffic
that there will be enough for both forms Of transport ct low
Eaaes. The latter clearly il most desirable

Roosevelt complained about copper
prices. He said many mines could
turn out copper profitably at five Or
six cents . pound and that others,
among them he great Anaconda Of
Montana, could make . profit ct
eight or nine cents . pound. Copper
lately has been selling ct II cents
q pound and-accordinEsto the pres.
ident- pushing up prices In all tho
durable goods industries which It et-
ters. Senator Wheeler Of Montana,
long . reputed Toe Of the Anaconda
company. angrily took issue, suggest
ing price reduction would mean Am
ericau copper miners must compete

Says Steel Too High
Just what can Or win be done about
steel prices q not clear. Roosevelt
branded steel prices as much too
high, owing to recent large and rapid
increases. The federal government
bought $25o. .000. 900 worth Of steel last
year. Government purchases Of steel
presumably will be curtailed, but
much u needed for the army and
navy. Manufacture Of some steel by
the government u possible, but not
yet probable.
Although Attorney General Cum
mings recently said the Department
Of Justice inquiry into collusive bids
by steel companies was practically at
Q standstill, the president has sub.
sequently asked him for . report on
progress.
The Investigation followed charges
BY Secretary Harold Ickes that steel
companies had submitted identical
bids on steel needed for PWA prof.
ects, including New Yorks Tri-
Borough Bridge.
Former Assistant Attorney General
John Dickinson told the House Ap.
propriations Committee that "the s,l-
preme court in the steel trust and
the International Harvester cases u
Or l8 years ago. laid down rules to
the effect that for one concern to
follow the price Of another concern
does not necessarily mean . VIOLA
tion Of the law. And there have
grown up In . good many Of these
industries practices which enable one
concern to take it, cue - to prices
from other concerns, without any
clear and definite violation Of the
law unless good many other factors
and circumstance can be estab.
lished." Cummings has said, In discus
sing steel bids that antitrust laws
certainly need some form Of ~
tormaton.s
Ths psssidsnts public prodding Of
CumminGg indicates there may be
something doing soon as to 6ollu-
sive bidding.
