PAGEMVE IBRANDEIS ON date ncnioinu ULUIOIUIl lHIL ftSFhra? r Attorney for Shippers Declares That No Enliyhted Railroad Will Con testResult Based on Investiga tion and Evidence. (Copyright, 1911, b.v tho United Press Association.) (By Louis D. Brandels.) I do not believe tlmt the manage ment of any enlightened railroad will fight the decisions against tho rate Increases after the full and fair hear ings before the Interstate commerce commission. The question has been considered for six months and all Lavo been given opportunity to argue for and against the proposed rates. The decisions wero based on evi dence and the opinion of tho commis Hloners was unanimous. That opin ion so far as It has been given to the public shows that tho subject has been carefully considered and that tho decision of the commission was inevitable. I do not believe there Is any jus tification for the slump In the stock market today. On the contrary, I think thnt railroads llko the Heading will finally conclude thnt tho decision of tho Interstate commerce commls Hlon will loam them to a brighter fu ture. It will bo remembered that a num ber of ho-called railroad defeats haw been but avenues to greater pros perity. It will also be remembeied that when the commerco law made conditions moro stringent, notwith standing' that the roads had beaten, the abolition of rebating was' really a great step forward. Llkowlso the railroads when they wero forced to abolish passes inndo a distinct gain without a single disadvantage. Then the roads were forced by law, after a long contest, to npply safety dovices to their cars. All will admit that this reform supplied a great gain in transportation. Tho loads considered tho limitations of their employes, labor a heavy burden, but tho most enlightened railroads re joice now with tho community over that atop to procuro proper and snfo conditions. Nothing has so aroused the Ameri can people against the railroads for yeais as the attempt at raising rates. The decision of the commission un doubtedly will be followed by efforts by enlightened railroad manage! s to have the roads help themselves. This Is bound to result In Immense Im provements and economies In opera tion nnd management. Theso will secure to the roads the co-operation of the American people. I do not bollevo tho railroad Im provements will be cm tailed or that tho earnings of the railroads or their omployes will bo reduced. On 'the contrary, railroad prosperity, with groater efficiency, wll bo placed on a firmer bnsls and the prlclples of sci entific management as applied to rail roads, will bo sure to produce, as In other branches of Industry, higher wages.
