Railroads
Continued From First Paee)

George Harrison, representing rail-
way labor.
With certain exceptions, the I. c. c.
authorized the railroads to increase
freight rates by 10 per cent. It stipu-
lated. however, that increases granted
on many commodities last fall must
be included in that percentage.
Per Cent Increases Listed.
Increases Of S per cent were granted
on the following commodities:
Agricultural products, except trop-
1cal fruit, animals and animal prod
uces. except horses and mules; lumber,
singles and lath; cottonseed oil and
vegetable oils, except linseed oil.
Anthracite coal rates were increased
10 cents ton, or about So per cent.
Increases were specifically refused
on bituminous coal, Ignite, iron ore,
fresh milk and cream and refrigera-
ton service.
The commission deferred q decision
on the application Of Eastern rail-
roads for permission to increase
passenger coach fares from 2 to as
cents q mile.
Senator Wheeler. as chairman Of
the Senate Interstate Commerce Com
mtttee, said he did not believe the
increased rates would materially
help" the railroads.
What the railroads need is more
business" he said. Il cannot see
how they can get more business by
raising their rates."
Almost every railroad spokesman
expressed disappointment that the
permitted increases were no larger.
Ralph Budd, president Of the Chicago,
Burlington d Quincy, said the in
creases were not nearly enough to
cover added costs In wages, materials
and taxes. The lines had sought
$470, 000,0 more revenue to meet
such expenses.
How can this do US any good?"
asked ]. M. Kurn, co-rustee of the

inadequate" was the comment of
Samuel T. Bledsoe, president Of the
Sante Fe.
H. c. Weller. vice president of the
Norfolk & Western, also said he did
not expect the increase would help
much.
However, Norman Call, president Of
the Richmond-F fredericksburg d Po-
tomac, called it "very satisfactory"
The anthracite rate boost was criti-

Princess Ileana, Dined and
Danced With Ford Sales
man Got "Royal Bawlinlg
Out"
BY MARTIN KANE,
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, July ID. NUP).--
When Queen Marie Of Rumanla,
sometimes called the Royal
Salcslady" and otherwise the
Lady TaIlcyrand Of the Bal
kans," visited America in 1926
the Coolidge dollar was riding
high in the financial heavens.
There was some little suspicion
that the beautiful sovereign
hoped to take back many AmerI-
can dollars to her economically
shaky kingdom. :.
It was a period when Uncle
Sam was known as Uncle Shylock
to war debtors but, nevertheless,
American business was extending
broad credits TO European ma
tons, who were buying American
goods on the strength of Amerl-
can loans. That made prosperity.
The queen denied that the pun
pose of her trip was to obtain Il
Rumanian loan. Her five week
STAY here was IL succession of de
nials, among them that she hoped
to persuade Henry Ford to invest
in Rumania. But shortly after
her return to bucharest she con-
firmcd what she had denied with
the assertion that the motor mag
nate had "Shown himself diSpoS-
cd" to build new capital for
Rumania, as well rs other cities
and beautiful new roads. Nothing
/ ever came of IT.
What money Queen Marie did
obtain from the United States

POLAND. FACES

Ballots Will Show Trend !;
to Show Results When
Dictator Dies

WARSAW, July l9.-UP) --
What happens to a Dictatorship
when the dictator dies? The death
Of Marshal Josef PiISudSki in
1885 prccipitatcd that question.
The answer thus far has been Civ
en- only partly and tentatively in
Poland. The completion is expect
cd within year.
PilSudSki was man whose ABB
SClutc power was unquCStlOncd
and unchallcngcd. 1t rested upon
the complete trust of the broad
mass Of the people and the un-
conditional devotion Of the armed
forces. He dcteStCd parliamcnta-
rianism with all it stood for and,
on his dcath-as BELTS a dictator
he let the mantle of sovereign.
ty fall into the hands Of his cho-
sen followers. These arc headed
by President lgnacy MoScicki and
the commander-in-chief of the
army, Marshal Edward Smi%ly-
Rydz.
Since PilSudSki'S death Poland
has been in what the present lead
crs prefer to call "traditional
period" The foreign and domcS-
tic policies have been in state
of complete and continual fluX.
They can be described neither as
tending toward the right nor the
left. Poland occupies the rather
ambiguous position Of being mel
ther a democracy nor Il Dictator
ship.
DIVIDED INTO FACTIONS
, The reason for that condition IS
that the people of Poland have
refused to recognize the thesis of
the inheritance Of absolute power.
They arc split into the usual idc"-
logical factions, it is truc-clam-
oring to share power with the sue
ccsSorS of PilSudSki, the present
rulers of Poland. Their voice has
/ been heard, and those rulers have
decided to choose the most suit
able political faction as partners
in future coalition government.
Thus the problem is to place the
regime on a broader basis by sub
stituting coalition rule for the
present government.
! This process of selecting the
"most suitable" coalition partner
is at best an extremely difficult
one. Carried out with anything
less than the greatest tact and dis
cernmcnt, it undoubtedly would
be fraught with danger for the
country's future.
/ Which is to be chosen? Would
the rightist, nationalist National
party or the democratic, liberal
Peasants party fit the bill best?
The social democrats and the
communists can be eliminated as
unacceptable to leaders of the
state. The most logical thing to
do would seem to be simply to Sc
lect the stronger of the two can
didates. This brings the problem
back to the starting point, how
ever, since none knows which par
ty is the strongest.
