Judge Klnkaid stated that the altuatlon
was extremely serious and that the gov

Judge Klnkaid further stated that he

resolution permitting the state irrigation
board to bring a friendly suit agalnat the
government for ilia use of the water un
der the Present distressing conditions,
but Mr. Klnkaid realises that that suit
might be long drawn out and In tha
meantime the work of the farmers In
those sections would he entirely lost by
reason of the drougth which is now pre

He hopes, therefore.' to convince the
representative of the administration

An order was Issued cancelling tha gen
eral S jwr cent proposed. Such roads
an get advances will file tariffs to con
form with the dnrlrlon today. The de
cision Is effective at once.
II J. McVann, manager of tha Omaha
Traffia bureau, said that the raise In
rates In the Central Freight association
trrltory had been forecasted In tha argu
ments before the commission as Mr.
Brandels had admitted that thee rates
were too low.
Mr. McVann also said thst few Omaha
manufacturers would bo effected by the
relse, those being the men who bought
raw material from, around the Pittsburgh,
district.
History of f'aae.
The railroads which applied for tha
Interstate Commerce commission permis
sion to raise their freight rates were the
fifty-two lines In the territory east of
the Mississippi and north of the Ohio
and Potomiie rivers. The Increase asked
was 5 per cent. Just half the Increase
which these same railroads (lied to ret
approval of the 1910, but failed.
Jt was deemed that public, sentiment
desired a prompt decision of the new ap
plication, and the Interstate Commerce
commission Immediately Instituted hear
ings, at which President Willard of tha
Baltimore Sc. Ohio, President Delano dt
the Monon system. George Stewart Pat.
terson, general counsel of the Pennsyl
vania, snd other prominent railroad of
ficials gave testimony. Louis D. Bran-
dels of Boston, representing the commis
sion and the shippers, was one of tha
leading counsel In opposition.
The contention of the railroad man
agers wss that In the last three years
tha railroads had spent $600,000,000 In new
capital, but that In 1913 the earnings were
$16,000,000 leas than In 1912; that tha great
est Increases In rsilroad expenses had
come about by higher wages, taxes and
new Investment In the properties; that
conditions were such that the New York
Central had since September, 1913, been
forced to lay off 13,000 men; and It was
strongly Intimated by some witnesses
that unless tha situation were relieved
tha rsilroads might have to accept gov
ernment ownership as the only alterna
tive. Opsnalss Contentions.
The opposing contentions were in ef
fect that the railroads were constantly
enjoying higher revenues; that they
spent more on Improvements last year
than any other year In history; that one
terminal alone, built at a cost of $l(M.ooo,
000 "would have built an entire railroad
from New York to Chicago"; and, above
all. that the free services which tha rail
roads performed for large Industrial con
cerns would, if paid for, net the railroads
approximately $J0,000,flOO a year. Mr.
Brandels declared that "a sum approach
ing ino,0no,ono a year Is easily within tha
railroads' grasp if methods of conserving
revenues which are being suggested are
adopted."
The greatest opposition from shippers
came from those Interested in. rnal ant
petroleum, and It waa charged by Inde
pendent refiners thst the lncrcssed freight
rstes would benefit the Standard Oil
company at the expense of the indepen
dent concerns.
Various attempts were made to repre
sent President Wilson as being' In favor
of the Increase, but ha took the stand
that the ease waa beforo a quasi-Judicial
body, and no word of the president's at
titude ever was officially given. He did,
however, express the view that the cane
should be determined without any un
necessary .delay.
