THE BEE? OMAHA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1920. . I ... Boost in State Rates Upheld by s Commission Railroads of New York State Ordered to Establish Charges Conforming to Interstate Schedules. - By The Aworlute,! rrwu. Washington,' Nov. 19 In its first decision on tJie right of the federal government under the transportation act to require railroads within a state to correspond to the higher levels t of interstate tariffs, the Interstate Commerce commission today ordered , the railroads of New York tn . "(' tablish passenger and baggage rates on intrastate tramc conforming to advanced interstate schedule Sim!. lar proceedings are pending affecting more man nait tne states lu the union. . By its order of last August, the commission authorized in the New York region an increase of 40 per cent in freight rates, 20 per cent in passenger rates, excess baggage charges and rates on milk and cream and also a surcharge of SO per cent on Pullman accomodation, The New York public service commission granted the. freight advance except milk, but denied the other increases within the state, and the carriers ap pealed to the Interstate Commerce commission. General Obligation. , The federaT body held that there ..was a general obligation .resting up on it" to exercise control Over intra state commerce so far as it effects interstate commerce." "The decisive factor',' the ruling said, " is whether the rates under consideration injuriously, affects in terstate commerce" , , Congress, dtrected that rates be al lowed which would yield an aggre- , gate return of from Sj-2 to 6 per cent ' on the value of the railway prop erties, the commission stated, add ing: 'There can be no doubt of the 'power of congress" to devise and pro vide for carrying into effect i plan ' - for .assuring the nation's interstate railroads a tair return upon the vl ae of their property and the full con y irotof congresj'in this matter is not to be denied on the ground that thei ; :arriers aggregate , earnings are a ' commingling of intrastate revenue ' tnd interstate revenue. Means Big Increase. . "The record shows the refusal of the state tf , New York to permit the carrierrto increase the rates and . fares here in fontroversy to the ex , tent approved 7by us is costing the railroads between $lJ0OO,00O and 12,000,000 annually.' JtL ,vQther - words, the annual earnSigl ii the Interstate carriers operating in1' New STork are now 'between $IJ-,OOQ,000 tnd $12,000,000 Hs than they would be if the general level of rates and (ares approved by us had become ef fective on interstate traffic;' and to that extent the declared purpose of tongress is defeated b a preferen tial basis of rates and fares main tained by authority 'of the state of New York, - a "It has not happened heretofore that we have had occasion to make tuch an extensive exercise-of our authority as 'is now contemplated Ind we could not be moved to do to, save by the most cogent reasons. Such reasons have been supplied by ihe situation in -which the transpor ation interests of the country were placed and the action taken by con 'essto relieve that situation." Eastman Objects. A dissenting opinion was handed lown by Commissioner Eastman, who contended that the decision of fit majority was beyopd the law fi) power of the commission. The objection is more than tech lical," he declared, "for it concerns :he basic relation between the state tnd the federal government, a mat ter of great moment." Orders issued by the commission fequired the new rates to become jffctive by Efecember 18, o the tlit.g of five days' notice to the com nition and the publrc. , Increases on commutation fares and charges n excess baggage carried in con nexion with such fares was ex Jeped from the general order and (eiiirved for futur decision by the (qmission.
