Additional News See Back Page This Section, OPPOSED BY HINES, DIRECTOR GENERAL Jb.T.om ssssa LONGk EXPLANATION GIVEN Declares .Administration Has No Legal Right . to : Raise Charge o Benefit Private Interests. Tha( Increased railroad rates are not expedient for the railroad ad ministration, and that there is neither, a legal nor a moral obliga tion testing upon federal control to make .'Increases during government operation, for the exclusive oenem or . the railroad under private manage ment, Is the decision reached by ' Walker D. Hinesi director general of ; .railroads,' Announcement of this, statement was received ;, in telegram form by J. P. . v O'Brien, federal manager of the rail- roads in Oregon, Saturday afternoon. It is A "reply to the ' resolution recently adopted by the Association of Railroad , Executives objecting to the position taken by the director general of rail- , roads to the effect that the administra tion ought not to undertake to increase railroad rates. The message follows:, bight, to chaicge disputed "The suggestion -. of the railroad ex ecutives that -the railroad administration make Increases In rates can mean only one thing, and that Is that the railroad administration shall make these in creases during federal control for. the ( sole and exclusive benefit of the rati ' roads, under .private management, after . ' the end of federal control. This is true, because the conclusion has been reached ' with the approval of the president that it is not. In the public Interest to make - an immediate increase in rates for, the purpose of increasing the revenues of the railroad administration during fed eral control. , , - "A fundamentally wrong conception is Involved In the claim that the president ought to exercise the emergency rate- making power conferred upon him for. tne purpose, or aeciaing as oeiween ut tailroads and the public what the for ' mer shall, charge and what the latter shall pay after federal control shall end. . I,ET LIVES CAKE FOR THEMSELVES i ' Tbe theory of trie federal control was 1 , that the government would guarantee a rental : during federal control, but not that after federal control the perms nent statutory revisions and, procedure would be looked to by the railroad com panics to secure for themselves . ad' -. V " eauste compensation. The resolution ' of the railroad executives, in effect, takes the position, that . they - are not willina to resort to the permanent stat utory provisions to protect their inter' ests, r -but- instead they .want - the. preai i dent to use his emergency power so as to provide for their compensation after federal control. In addition tci having t guaranteed them their return, during federal control. '- "There is no duty whatever. either legal or moral, resting upon the rail road administration to initiate for the benefit of the railroad corporations rates which it believes to be Inexpedient to Initiate for its own benefit. 'ADEQUATE POWER GRANTED o ; "On the contrary, 'the railroad com . Denies have the power to protect their ' interests in the matter just as fully as they have had In the past, and they , ought to resort to it, unless they choose to stand on the rates as they are. With regard to the position suggested by the railway executives that the railroad ad 'minlstration ought to increase the rates . because of the railroad administration's action in increasing the expense, this ' could not be true as to Increases in ex penses which would have taken place if the railroad administration naa not been in existence. . . - "in view of the extraordinary1' In creases in expenses of all forms of in duatry under private management, there is no basis for demonstrating mac xne " Increases in , expenses of the railroad administration were due to any cause other titan that which affected all forms of Industry, and ' hence no basis for claiming that a , temporary emergency power of , rate makings during federal control1 should be employed for the ex clusive purpose of meeting them after federal control shall have endedi "it the railroad administration deemed it expedient to increase rates for its own benefit, it would alill be true that the increases It would make In order to de fray expenses of unified operation of all ,the .railroads in the country mignc oe ; very different from the Increases which would.be necessary to protect the sep - arate-railroads or separate territorial groups' of railroads' in different parts of the country-- -.5 T '"' .
