RAIL RATE HIKE PETITION LIKELY TO BE REFUSED CommeVce Commission Is Expected to Announce Denial in October. B\i T.'nilrtl Press WASHINGTON,* Sept. 3.—The interstate commerce commission was understood today to be planning to announce early in October its decision on the petition of the railroads for a 15 per cent freight rate increase. While proceedings have not been completed, it was understood that on the basis of the showing already made by tne railroads and the opposition entered by agricultural interests, shippers and others, the commission was inclined to reject the carriers’ plea. It was reported that the commission was convinced that agricultural products could not bear any higher rates than are now being paid. While the railroads asked for a blanket increase, asserting they ■fc’ou'.d adjust rates later to a fair basis for all concerned, the commission was represented as being Inclined to believe that differentiations should be made for the vari- j ous commodities.

Not to 15 Per Cent In some cases, it was understood, the commission was ready to authorize higher rates, but not to the full 15 per cent asked by the carriers. The figure of 5 per cent was Suggested as a more likely one. The proceedings, which began in June, have moved swiftly and now are in their final phases. The carriers presented their arguments in July. The opposition has pleaded its* case at various hearings throughout the country. Hearings now under way in Chicago will conclude that portion of the case, leaving only the filing of briefs, final arguments and the decision. The commission announced Wednesday that oral arguments will be heard in Washington beginning Sept. 21. These are expected to be concluded within a week. The commission has indicated that the speed which has characterized the whole case will be continued and has asked those expecting to appear to have their briefs filed by Sept. 18. Debate Dismissed When arguments are held, the motion of six western states to dismiss the carriers’ petition will be debated. This motion is based on the assertion that the commission is without authority to grant rate increases on a mere showing of financial distress among the carriers.

CHICAGO, Sept. 3.—Representatives of farm bureaus appearing before the interstate commerce commission planned to argue today for repeal of section 15-A of the transportation act which giv£s railroads a theoretical right to rates that will produce an income of 5% per cent on their investment. Armed with figures tending to show that the farm industry is in a depressed condition, the farmerspokesmen said they would ask that no more industries be guaranteed earnings unless agriculture also has some assurance of a justifiable return. Testimony at Wednesday’s session developed a question of whether the proposed rate increases actually would produce additional revenue. Although carrier representatives argued that it would, shippers contend that so much business would be diverted, through competitive traffic and decentralization of industry, that the roads would lose business. PROTEST LEVY SMASH Civic League Declares East Side Work will be Retarded. The Sherman-Emerson Civic League Inc., in a meeting Wednesday night at 4401 East Tenth street, protested the elimination from the municipal tax for 1932 of the levy for the thoroughfare and street resurfacing.
