RAILROADS URGE
ADJUSTED RATES
Carriers To Propose
Freight Increase On All
Transcontinental Hauls

CHICAGO, April 6-P-The rail-
roads will propose a freight rate
increase of four to Is cents a hun
bred pounds or their transcontin-
entail hauls as a solution to the
competitive relationship between
rail and water rates, a railroad
attorney said today.
H. c. Barron, attorney for the
railroads involved in tr~anscontin-
entail freight hauls, said the pro-
posal would be filed with the Inter-
state Commerce Commission in
Washington Monday.
The proposal is an outgrowth of
discussions held here between rep
resentatives of the railroads and
steamship lines at the suggestion of
the ICC. The commission asked
the two groups to explore 1.-The pos
sibility Of adjusting water and
freight rates.
The investigation was initiated
by the U. S. Maritime Commission
and the I~ntercoastal Steamship
lines.
Seek Higher Rates
A spokesman for the railroads
who declined to permit use of his
name said the steamship lines
were seeking higher rates, con-
tending present transcontinental
rail rates denied the water carriers
q favorable competitive position.
Under the railroad proposal, the
boost would apply to some 100
classifications Of freight, including
canned goods, aluminium, coffee,
drugs and chemicals. Excepted
would be iron, steel and lumber, on
which freight rates were boosted a
year ago.
The ICC also approved higher
transcontinental freight rates last
year on the other commodities un-
der consideration, but not to the
extent the railroads sought. The
new boost would bring the rates to
the amount originally sought.
Barron said the railroads recogn-
lied in their new proposal that il
higher transcontinental rates we're
effected, adjustments would have
to be made on rates for shipments
from intermediate points to pro.

have been given the pay boost
under two-year contracts. Several
plants also are working under con-
tract extensions and in others tht
