As a companion effort to the $500,000,000 national credit corporation and the proposed ini- 1 provements in the real estate and home Huilding situations, the rail - road plan would marshall from $100,000,1100 to 41 25.000.0(10 for another Industry weakened by the strain of adverse business conditions and vitiated credit. By making its counter proposal, the commission was believed io | have averted for the time being at least any further speculation regarding wage reductions for rail workers such as a flat denial probably would have occasioned. As I lie plan was studied today! the attitude of the majority of rail executives was in doubt. It was learned by the United! Press that President Hoover had suggested a pooling arrangement but had encountered opposition from those consulted. A pooling plan was suggested by the National Traffic League during final arguments of the petition last month hut the carriers frowned upon it at that time. With tlio authority ami weight of the interstate commerce commis sion behind such a proposal, however. the carriers may show a greater readiness to participate. To take advantage of the commission's offer to permit increased rates on coni, lumber, ores and oil. the railroads must present their agreement on or before Dec. 1. The increases would lie temporary. extending only to March 31. 1933. While the increases would in effect cost every man. woman and child in the United States about one dollar, the ordic ry citizen probably would notice in <1 iff* rence to bis pocketlhok. For instance. an increase of #'s p r car would he authorised for coal and lumber. A car contains about 5n tons of coal so the increase, even if passed al'tig entirely In tie consumer, would amour!, to only six cents per ton. A man could build a hou with less than $lO additional chargeable to increased freight eiiargi - Most agricultural prodn ts escaped so that the housewife need not fear her grocer will blame higher freight rates for increased food prices. Meats will not be affected. The commission recognized the plight of the farmer, saving that "the present prostration of a large part of agriculture has seldom it ever been equalled in the history of the country.” Describing how it reached its decision, lie • '

Capital comment on the decision was for the most part general in j nature. Chairman James Couzens ! of the senate interstate commerce I committee asked in be excused I until today so that he might study! the report. Senator LaKollette, i Ttepn., Wis.. also wanted to read the decision hut said the denial of the 15 per cent increase was! "fortunate.” Senator Brookhart, Itepn., la., rejoiced that farm j rates were not increased. The report was a scholarly i treatise on the entire railroad situation.
