RAIL ASK EVEN HIGHER RATE OF FREIGHT Bankers Will Demand II Per Cent Increase in Freight Rate of Western State HINTS AT CONSPIRACY Former President of Int'I and G. N. Railway Say Revenue Shrank $64,000,000 CHICAGO, Sept. 11. (United " News) Complica tions Bet in at the western freight rate hearing Friday, when the western security holders of the northwestern lines served notice upon the carriers and the interstate commerce commission that the proposed five per cent increase is not enough. The news was conveyed to Chairman Clyde B. Aithcison by Grenville Clark, a New York attorney, who represents $235,000,000 in securities. What he said was that un less a concrete plan was sub mitted at once by the north western carriers for additional relief, the bankers would pre pare their own plan. Mr. Clark said ho disliked to criticise the railroad officials. He pointed out that while they have all admitted that the five per cent raise is not enough for the needs for tho northwestern lines, they have not presented any plan giving them enough money, ' ' f ' Want Wager Increase Mr. Clark and his associates have investigated the situation, he says, and have elicited the Information during the last few days that all the northwestern . railroads npplled or iginally for an eleven per cent In- crease and later, all but the St. Paul modified this to five per cent. "We are not satisfied," he said, "with the answers to the question as to why this Inst minute change of front was made." It Is reported that a new plan Is In progress. That It presents many intricacies is shown by the question ing of T. A. Hamilton, former pros! dent of the International and Great Northern railroad, by Chairman Alt- chinson. , ' Revenue Shrinkage lllg Mr. Hamilton, who appears for Iho bond holders, related how the St. Paul had broken down under in adequate freight rates. He said that In the four years since the termina tion of federal control the four main northwestern roads had saved $28. 000 by new economies and ef ficiency, but in this same period their gross revenue shrank 64,000, 000. He asked for remedy, saying tfro proposed flvo per cent Increase should be granted Immediately as an emergency measure, and the north western lines be given special treat ment over the five per cent period. His suggstlon was that a special rate making group be appointed or the dopressed territory and submis sion of an additional tariff by the roads. ITALY II.ACKSLIDIXO ROME. Sept. 11.
