HEAVIER TARIFFS ALLOWED
Opinion Says 1916 Was Most Prosper
ous Year In History of the Car
riers Commissioner McChard
Dissented.
Washington, July 2. The rullronds
of the United States lost their ght for
a IB pe rcent Incerase In rates. The
Interstate commerce commission de
nied their petition. The commission's
order was dated June 27. Commis
sioner McChard dissented.
The commission finds that 1010 was
the most prosperous year the railroads
ever had.
"It may be assumed," the opinion
says, "that they might suffer some
abatement 'of the prosperity, of that
year without being crippled or in any
way Incapacitated."
The order sets forth:
That the operation of the schedules
submitted by the railroads upon which
Increases were asked "be and hereby
are suspended until October 28, 1017."
Exception Is made to schedules ap
plying to bituminous coal, coke and
Iron ore, naming rates In the southern
district.
Exception Is made to schedules ap
plying to bituminous coal, coke and
Iron ore, naming Increased rates In the
eastern district.
AH schedules naming Increased rales
upply Interterrltorlally between dis
tricts excepting only those applying to
bituminous coal, coke and Iron ore be
tween the eastern aud southern dis
tricts. That the use of the rates, charges,
regulations and practices stated lu
such suspended schedules be duferred
upon interstate tratllc until October 28
unless otherwise ordered by the com
mission. The commission grants certain In
creases In coal, iron and coke rates
on the basis of equalizing this rate
structure. Tho opinion also recog
nizes that the roads In the enstern dis
trict must have increased revenue be
yond what the new coal and Iron rates
will produce.
The technical terms of the commis
sion's order merely "suspend" the pro
posed Increases to October.
The commission finds that the war
has not affected the railroads as dis
astrously as the first general state-'
mejit of railroad witnesses might have
Indicated.
