OLD RATES STAND
Railroads Will Make No Advance
In Near Future.
CONDITIONS ARE NOT SETTLED
President! and Operating Officials of
Roads Fear Stagnation Would b
Increased by Move.
Washington, June 0 No general
increase in freight rates is likely to
be made by the railroads of- the coun
try in the near future, if it Is to be
made at all. At a recent meeting of
presidents and operating officials of
important railroads In New York it
was the consensus of opinion that it
was undesirable to put into effect at
this time an increase of freight rates.
It was pointed out that the pro
posed increase in a time of depression
would tend rather to increase freight
stagnation than to stimulate freight
movement. Such a result would be
of only additional disadvantage to the
carriers, the opinion being general
that it would not induce increased
revenues.
Most of the officials who attended
the meeting indicated a belief that
railway business conditions were im
proving The freight revenues and
the passenger revenues, too show a
notable Increase in the last month
over the preceding three months, and
a general revival of business in all in
dustrial branches was reported from
every part of the country.
The judgment was expressed that
if business conditions did not con
tinue to show improvement it would
be necessary for the railroads to
adopt some method for protecting'
the interests of their stockholders.
Only two methods are suggested
an increase of freight rates and a de
crease in wages of employes It is
quite certain that neither will be re
sorted to before the first of next Oc
tober, and some of the officials be
lieve it will not be necessary even
then to resort to either of the meth
ods named.
In some unaccountable way, the re
port became general among shippers,
especially in the middle west and the
south, that the president and the in
terstate commerce commission had
given their approval to the suggested
increase in freight rates. The mem
bers have spent a good deal of time
trying to get their correspondents
right on the matter.
While the commission has no power
under the law to prevent the estab
lishment of such rates as the railroads
see fit to put into effect, unless after
due hearing the increased rates should
be found to be excessive, unreason
able or unjust, it would be equally
impossible and inappropriate for it
to give its approval to any proposed
increase in rates.
NORTH TOPEKA IS ABANDONED.
