tho inlerxtnle fommerec eomniissioii
iu ft decision In (ho eastern ndvonct
rate case. AH increases east ut
Pittsbnrj; and Iluffnlo were denied.
No increases were granted on lake
nnd rail rates. All classes within tho
Cent nil Freight aoctatiun territory
were advanced five per cent. Com
modily rates got a like advance ex
ccptitiK coal, coke, brick, tile, clay,
starch, cement, iron ore and plaster.
Increased Incomes
The new nites arc expected to in
crease the incomes of the railroads
approximately 1 i. jwr cent. All tho
principal eat nnd west systems will
benefit by the increases, as their
lines traverse the territory affected.
The commission held the incline of
the railroads was smaller than is de
manded in public interest, but that
no showing hnd been mado warrant
ing n general increase in rates.
Tho commodities upon which no
advances were allowed compose ap
proximately 35 jwr cent of the totul
volume of traffic in the central ter
ritory. Condemning what is characterized
as propaganda to influence its decis
ion, the commission said:
Clamor Is OuntlcBiHctl
'There can be no doubt thnt this
clamor nnd outcry have tended to
mislead the public and have serious.
ly aggravated the present commer
cial depression."
The comminiion sugKcsted' ad
varices in passenger fares and elim
ination of costly free services to
shippers and practically nil free
passes, and development of greater
efficiency in personnel and equip
