13 THE 3IORXTNG OSEGONIA5. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1920 STATE COMMISSIONS HELD OBSTRUCTORS Rehabilitation of Railroads Declared Hampered. RATE LIFTS ANTAGONIZED New Tork Central Official Tells or Efforts Being Made to Increase Efficiency of Carriers. NEW TORK. Oct. 27. State rail road commissions which are holding up operation of recent freight rate increases are doing more than any other agency to prevent rehabilita tion of railroad properties, George H. Ingalls, vice-president of the New York Central lines, told an audience of business men at the Traffic club of New York here last night. Speaking on the subject of increasing- efficiency in rail transportation, Mr. Ingalls commended the interstate commerce commission, which, he said, "met the issue in a broad and con structive manner and endeavored to grant the carriers sufficient increase in their revenue to enable them to rehabilitate themselves." He declared that notwithstanding the fact that state commissions were represented on the body which fixed the new rates, "only 18 of them, have approved the new rates without any exceptions; 12 have accepted the new rates with a variety of exceptions and amendments, all tending to cur tail the carriers' revenues, and 17 have definitely refused to grant the new schedules. " T7. s. Rates Declared low. Kates in the country, Mr. Ingalls asserted, are much lower than abroad, the increases In the United States having amounted to 67 per cent since 1914, while increases in foreign coun tries ranged during the same period from 114 per cent in the United King dom to 390 per cent in Austria. Three marks have been set up by railroad traffic men as the efficiency goal to be attained, Mr. Ingalls said. They are: "To increase the average freight car mileage to 30 miles a day. "To increase the average load for a freight car to not less than 30 tons. "To reduce the pass-age of 'bad order cars to not more than 4 per cent of the total "Each one of these." he said, "would constitute a great stride toward giv ing the nation that adequate trans portation service without which our commerce and industries cannot ex pand production and general pros perity be made to prevail." Records Already Broken. Mr. Ingalls said it was a good omen tl.at already in 1920 past transporta tion records have been broken. Inter state commerce commission figures, he said, show that last July the rail roads of the country recorded 40,232,- 000,000 ton miles. rar tne largest month's operation since April, 1916, and probably the greatest in the his tory of the railroads." "The same statistics," he added, "show that despite the 'outlaw' rail road strikes which restricted opera tion in April and May, more freight was handled in the first seven months In the year than in the same period of any preceding year and that 1920 as a whole will show a record of freight service by the railroads ex ceeding any earlier year in history."
