The nation's railroads today lost

proposal; for specific increases to
be pooled for the good of all.
To provide money for. lifting
railroad bonds from their present
difficulties, the commission con
ditionally approved a schedule of
surcharges all less than 10 per
cent, on such traffic; as coal, steel.
forest products, ores and oils.
Rates on the farm leaders wheat,
corn, cotton, livestock and fresh
fruits-j would be left undisturbed.
The commission! steoned into
brand! new fields of railroad finan
cing with the proposal scoffed at
by railroad men, and attorneys at
on-workable when first proposed
by groups of shippers. The com
mission , found the surcharge and
pooling plan entirely feasible.
The money, derived ' from the
surcharges would be pooled, the
contributions of each road being
earmarked. ! i
The proposed schedule of in
creases would add 1 2 to the
freight , on each carload - of eoal,

commodities. It would increase by
$6 a car the rate for crude petro
