WASHINGTON, June 30. The
interatate commerce commission
. last night denied the railroads'
petition for the horizontal 15
per cent increase on freight
raAes.
The commission allowed the 14
per cent increase in elujs rates
on eastern railroads amounting to
about a four per cent Increase
in alt business.-Increased rates on
coal, iron, coke and ore were
also granted.
The commission found the
commission in a prosperous con
d iti n. Commissi ner McCUord
urged a congressional investiga
tion into the alleged unreason
able profits. The railroads are
declared to have sufficient cap
ital. The gloomy forecasts made
by railroads were , declared un
founded. The commission found
that war conditions, instead of
giving the railroads an excuse
for asking for increased rates,
had brought more business.
