RAILWAYS WARNED
IN RATE INCREASE
Told in Annual |. c. c. Report
Not to Be Too Optimistic
Over Boosts.

A warning to the railroads against
expecting too much from the pro-
posed rate increases was sounded to-
day in the annual report of the In
terstate Commerce Commission.
While emphasizing that an open
mind is being maintained on the re-
quest of the industry to boost both
freight and passenger charges, the
commission said:
mo competitive industry can work
out its salvation through a price-in-
creasing policy alone, and the rail-
road industry is now, to a very con-
siderable extent. in that class. While
price increases are at times necessary,
the vital thing in competition is to
increase the stability Of the product
and reduce its cost. Furthermore, so
far as transportation is concerned,
competition is not the only adverse
factor to be considered in the fixing
OF prices. The higher the level of
transportation charges. the more II
pays large shipping interests to re-
duce IN every practicable way the
amount Of transportation used. We
have had plenty of evidence that this
has actually happened, and on a very
considerable scale, through the estab-
lishment of branch factories and
warehouses, economies in the use of
fuel and other raw materials, and the
like. High rail charges also encourage
the substitution of products which
require little or no such transporta-
ton for products which require much,
as in the case of substitution of
natural gas, hydro-electric power or
fuel oil for coal"
The commission expressed the belief
that the railroads (Which continually
emphasize their economies) have not
done all possible in this direction, and
by inference suggested that considera-
ton should be given to the abandon
ment of Improbable operations.
The report repeated the recon-
mendation of last year that rail-
roads-particularly those in financial
difficulties-should get relief from the
tax on surpluses.
