Rails May Increase
Sq6 Rate Plea 10 1917
BY the Assoeioted Press

The railroad industry, 1t was re-
ported today, has decided to ask for
13 per cent increase in freight
rates instead of an 8 per cent ad-
vance.
Eleven days ago, the railroads
filed with the Interstate Commerce
Commission petition asking for an
8 per cent increase. ICC officials
said they have heard an amendment
will be filed, probably tomorrow,
asking to make it 13 per cent.
The Association of American Rail-
roads refused comment on the re-
ports.
The information reaching Gov
ernment circles was that the in
dustry will ask an immediate "em-
ergency" rate advance of perhaps
5 per cent, to be collected while
the ICC is holding hearings on the
petition for long-term 13 per cent
increase. The hearings are to begin
November 80.
When the petition for an 8 per
cent increase was filed, it was esti-
mated to involve an increase Of
about $672,500,000 in the annual
freight bill of shippers. The addi-
tional per cent would add millions
more.
A IS per cent increase was granted
by the commission earlier this year.

SUPREME COURT REFUSES re-

The appeal of the Government
from the District Court order
which dismissed an indictment
against the Maryland and Vir-
ginia Milk Producers Association
and seven dairies in this area
last spring was ordered remand
ed to the United States Court of
Appeals here by the Supreme
Court today.
The Milk Producers Association,
Bruce B. Derrick, the associations
secretary and treasurer, and the
seven dairies were indicted last
March on charges of conspiracy to
fix milk prices They also were
charged with having violated the
antitrust laws by controlling distri-
button of milk and cutting of milk
supplies from many other distrib-
utors in this market.
When the case came to trial in
District Court, Judge Richmond B.
Keech dismissed the indictment on
the ground that "the indictment is
bad in substance" and did not
charge a crime as defined in the
antitrust statutes.
The Justice Department appealed
directly to the Supreme Court in
a per curiam order. Today the
Supreme Court ruled that the case
should be remanded to the Court
of Appeals There was no further
official statement but attorneys in
terpreted the order as requiring the
Government to 60 through the usual
appellate procedure through the
Court of Appeals before asking for
a Supreme Court review.
The association, MIR. Derrick and
the diaries filed statements with
the Supreme Court some time ago
opposing Supreme Court jurisdic-
ton. They held that the dismissal
of the indictment in District Court
was based on the weakness of the
indictment itself and not on any
statutory ruling that would be within
the province of the Supreme Court.

Efforts to Drive Western
Powers From Berlin and
Sabotage ERP Claimed

LONDON, Oct. 11.-Britain ac-
cused Russia today of trying to
run the Western powers out OF
Berlin, of keeping thousands of
Germans in concentration camps
and of attempting to sabotage
Europe's economic recovery.
The charges were laid down in
40,000-word white paper on the
Berlin crisis negotiations in Berlin
and in Moscow.
In general terms, the statement
duplicated that issued by the United
States September 27. But it was
in greater detail. with conclusions
which took in issues ranging from
control of the mineral-rich Ruhr
Valley to Soviet claims, for $l0,-
900, ,000, 900 in reparations.
Demand for Own Terms.
The British paper said:
i. The Soviet government has
no intention Of reaching agreement
lover Berlin). save on its own
terms"
2. Soviet authorities in Berlin
have tolerated attempts by minor
ity groups sympathetic to their aims
to overthrow the legal municipal
government of the city"
3. Russia has embarked upon q
carefully prepared attempt to COM
pei the Western occupying powers
to abandon under duress their
rights in Berlin"
4. Acceptance of Russian terms
would mean immediate or pro-
gressive absorption of Western Sec
tors of Berlin within the Soviet
economy and whiting away of the
rights and obligations of the West
eln occupying powers to a point
where the whole city of Berlin was
under exclusive Soviet domination. u
