Consequences of the War Held by
Commerce Commission to Give
Ground for Raising Income of Lines
Between Atlantic and Mississippi.
Washington, Dec. 21. Increases in
freight rates approximating five per
cr-nt en 123 railroads, comprising all
the lines between the Atlantic sea
board and the Mississippi, north of the
Potomac and Ohio rivers, wero grant
' d by the interstate commerce commls
ti'ii in a divided opinion, excepting on
certain heavy commodities, which
comprise a largo hulk of the truffle.
1 lie increases will further apply to
the r.illroads west of Buffalo and Pitts
li r?h, which were granted partial ad
'ami!, 'ii the decision of last August,
v hit h denied them altogether to tho
I'd- cast of those points
It is estimated tho advanced rates
ill iru'ease the annual income of tho
ri,ad. about $30,000,000.
"It commission made its decision

i 'dltio.i to conditions from which
i' ' i,reiously asked relief they now

vi - cf the war in Europe.

t ft .on poimlts advances to be mado
i r on cement, starch, brick, tile,

i. " "" advances were permitted by
'.i f'tcifclun of August 1.
The commission War. divided on tho
QUfttion of granting tho railroads' ap
rial Commissioners Clements and
rlar. dl-sented. from the oplplon of
the majority The decision, in part,
"waf as follows:
"In vlow of tho tendency toward a
diminishing net operating income, as
fchown by the facts described, wo are
of the opinion that the net operating
income of tho railroads in offlcial
classification territory, taken as a
whole, is smaller than Is demanded In
the interests of the general public and
the railroads, and it is our duty and
cur purpose to aid so far as we legally
may. In the solution of tho problem as
to the course that the carriers may
purbue to meet the situation."
The commission did not acquiesce
in the carriers' proposal of a general
increase, as indicated In tho tariff
filed by them, but suggested various
methods by which they might properly
conserve their revenues.
"For various reasons we shall except
from tho proposed increase tho fol
lowing rates: '
"1. Rail-lakc-and-rail. lake-and-rnll and
rall-and-lake rates. It is shown on the
record that since the rail carriers ac
quired ownership and control of the
lako lines successive Increases have
been made in tho rates via lako tend
ing to 'essen the differences between
them and tho all-rail rates.
"2 Rates on bituminous coal and
coke. Not long since these rates were
investigated and maximum rates were
prescribed by tho commission The
key rates upon bituminous coal the
rate from the Pittsburgh district to
Youngstown. and the rate on lako car
go coal to Ashtabula, have been fixed
In the light of the various factors
which entered into the transportation
of such coal. The prevailing rates
are remunerative, and the financial
condition of tho principal bituminous
coal carriers Is in marked contrast
with that of many other carriers in
official classification territory.
"3. Rates on nnthraclto coal and
Iron ore, largely because they aro be
