Study of Western Situation
With View to Increase
Tariffs Proposed
-
WASHINGTON, Dec. Y (AP)
Western . railway executives
contended today that the entire
transportation problems of that
district should be gone into by
the Interstate Commerce commis
sion and a policy of upward re
vision of freight rates adopted.
In a letter to commission the
association of western railway ex
ecutives asked that the effective
date for putting into effect re
duced grain rates already ordered
be postponed for the period of
the depression and for not less
than one year from next Janu
ary 1.
They asked the commission to
adopt a general poller of revis
ing rates upward instead ' of
downward. Investigate rail, mo
tor and water transportation and
oil and gas pipe lines.
Recommended to congress leg
islation fer regulation of motor
vehicle and pipeline transporta
tion.
Revise water freight rates
from a flat 20 per cent under rail
rates to a "basis that would en
able private water carriers to op
erate at a profit." -
Immediately revise long haul
freight rates upward.
Eliminate overhead rates and
continue the present combina
tlon .based on Chicago and re
lated western gateways.
Asserting that net operating
revenues of lines in western clas
sification territory had declined
$112,332,733 during the first
nine months of this year the ex
ecutlves said they had later re
ports indicating further losses of
$20,000,000 yearly.
The executives indicated In
their letter that only the business
depression . prevented them from
asking an immediate upward re
vision of all western rates. They
expressed a "sincere desire to
ameliorate the difficult problems
now confronting the commission,
the railroads and the general
public to the end that there shall
be no Impairment of railroad ser
vice in the western district."
