RATES TO 8E INCREASED Freight Charges Will Be Raised by Reducing Minimum of , i Carload Lot. L - tjoornal Biweul Service.) - Chicago, Keb. t.--At a meeting of railroad men representing 100,000 miles of railway, the first step was taken to raise freight rates all over the country. The Increase will mean millions of dol dals added revenue. Tha proposition la to Increase fully 10 per cent the rates on nearly all tha main commodities by decreasing the minimum which it is permitted to load into a freight car. The railroads Interested extend through all the territory east of Chicago and north. of the .Ohio, rlverj, clear tothe seaboard and north into Canada. In this terrltcry freight rates are con trolled by the association known aa the Central Freight association. The ac tion will undoubtedly be followed by the lines south of the Ohio river, and then by the lines west of Chicago to the Pacific coast " ' It Is difficult to estimate how much the proposed increase will bring the railroads in sdded revenue, but the sum will be a big one. Traffic officers, however, atate that It will not be suffl- pense to the railroads occasioned by In creased wages;- estimated at between 1100,000,000 and 1110,000,000 annually.'
