Freight Re+e Boost Imperative" Says ARR Gen. Manager

eral freight tariff increase in 14 years on The Alaska Railroad absolutely imperative" J. P. Johnson, general manager of the railroad, said Tuesday.
 The rate boost, set for October IS, represents about a four per cent raise in tariffs between Se- attle and Anchorage.
 The upsurge in wages and ma teria1 cost amounts to an aver age of Al per cent for the period from 1887 until present, Johnson declared. At the same time the railroad was holding the line" on its rates and actually reduc- ing tariffs on many commodities.
 For example. rates were low cred on canned goods, building products. re-enforcing steel and many other Alaskan items. At the same time other prices climbed. A thousand feet of lun- ber that cost the railroad s21 in 1q37 now costs sill. I shon ma c0anic, who earned s200 a month II years ago for e'~-, week. now draws s485 a month for a 5-dav week.
 'During the noriod from 1929 10 1851 Stateside railroads raised freight rates 61- per cent and presently are requesting a fur ther increase"
 Tn many instances on The Alaska Pailroad-Where operat- ing costs are much higher-rate s are lower than on Stateside lines. Too, the railroad is without a backhaul.
 While The Alaska Railroad is not operating for profit. , Johnson said, it has been or dered by Congress to pay its own way"
 Recent increases in employees salaries-"money that will go di- rectly to the merchants of Alas ka and not to interests Outside will amount to S1,500,000 an- nually.
 With a net profit of only S99,000 in the fiscal year just ending, there is little chance for the railroad to come out even with the added salary burden. Last year the net was only slightly more than S3,000.
 This means that the railroad must seek new means of reve- nue," Johnson declared.
 The boost in 1851 net profits was attributed to an influx in freight traffic and reduced oper- ating expenses resulting from the nearly completed rehabilita- tion program.
 The long-range program has provided Alaskan shippers with a more modern and efficient railroad, boasting first class rolling stock, improved roadbed conditions and up-to-date work ing equipment and shops.
 Increases in inter-line charges Seattle to Anchorage) will be small under the new tariff. A 25-pound sack of flour will cost an extra one and one-half cents; a five pound roast one cent; a bathtub 40 cents; a case of beer two cents and a thousand feet of lumber, $1.1O.
 A ton of coal, shipped in Al aska, will cost another Fl cents.
 On petroleum products-one of the railroads chief freight increase in tariffs is contemplated. As matter of fact, the general manager said, the railroad has cut rates on petroleum products.
 In 1887 it cost 67 cents to ship 100 pounds of petroleum products from Seward to An
