Railroads Won't Say
Requested Boost in
Freiqht Rates Is Last
By the Assoejofsd pfess

Shipping interests tried without
success yesterday to find out If the
new Is per cent freight rate in
creases which the railroads are
seeking will be the last in the recent
cycle of rail rate advances.
The question was raised at an
Interstate Commerce Commission
hearing on the proposed increase by
James E. Knudsen, representing the
Agriculture Department. Noting
frequent references in railroad tes-
timony to the 10-cent hourly wage
increase recently granted operating
brotherhoods and offered to other
industry workers in settlement Of
wage demands, Mr.. Knudsen asked:
rs this rate increase petition the
last you will bring to the ICC re-
gardless of the outcome Of the wage
negotiations?"
It am in no position to answer
the question" Jacob Aronson, chief
counsel for the railroads, replied.
THE petition now before the COM
mission is based on the assumption
that the 10-cents-per-hour increase
will be made effective for all classes
OF railroad employees"
Mr.. Knudsen attempted in cross
examining witnesses to establish
that there are evidences of down.
ward trend in the Nations price
levels Julius H. Parmelee, vice
president of the Association of Amer
ican Railroads, said some isolated
price reductions in railroad supplies
had been noted, but he asserted:
mo downward trend in the cost of
materials necessary to run the rail-
roads has been established"
Mr.. Parmelee asserted that while
charges for railroad services have
advanced slightly more than 40 per
cent in the postwar period, the prices
paid for fuel, materials and supplies
have advanced more than 120 per
cent from prewar days.
He said that in the absence of
further rate increases, the rail in
dustry will probably earn less than
per cent on investment next year.
