R.ATES AFI EICESSASY
Must Have Incrra.se ta Properly Perform Their Part in the Great War.
fAy rhe li:reriillflsf Tcwc.) WASHINGTON, June . American railways cannot properly perform their part in the war against Germany unless they nre granted an immediate increase In freight rates. This was the summarized argument of the eastern carriers today as they closed theii appeal for Increased freight rale, in hearing before the interstate commerce commission. Rapidly rising costa of materiils and tabor make the increased rates a necessity the
railway executives told the Interstate
commerce commission.
"One of the most imjmrtant lessons of the war is the absolute necessity of I'ailway preparedness, as an incident to military preparednesi," said George Stuart Patterson, counsel for the eastern carriers, who wade the fin
al a-gumeat and emphasized the point
with li.e needs of the nation. "Our first duty is with our allies," Patterson said. "We must suppl) them with food and ammunition. These must be moved with the utmost expedition to the seahoanL ' Tnen will come ;he construction ol mobilization camps, the installation of hidings und terminal facilities at these
camps, and the moving of all material
to plants doing that work.
ns would doubtless mean increased
empty car mileage, diminished train-
loads and additional yard movement.
One Thins Certain. T'lere is one thing absolutely cer
tain. Track and equipment must lie kept to the highest state of efficiency and repaiis made promptly without waiting for lower labor and material
costs, and therefore, the careers must
have the revenue necsary for such
costs. In that sense the rate increase
bears a definite and immediate rela tion to the successful prosecution of
the war."
In attempting to show the great ad
vances which the railways were forreil to bear, counsel Patterson stated that
current commodity prices, as reported by the government, averaged H7 per cent above the calendar yeur IPlrt and 70 per cent nbovt 1915. Pigiron, he jaid, the basic commodity used in the manufacture of the great bulk of rail
road materials, is now commanding
a price 1 14 per cent above the average for 1D16 and 170 per cent above the average for the preceding ten years.
Wages have increased $77,00(1,000 inually, Patterson said, of which
$;if.,000,000 is due to the Adnmson law.
All the additional costs of operation
of the eastern carriers aggregate 1255.000,0(10 or about 20 per cent of freight revenues.
Speaking of net earnings the coun
sel for the railways pointed out that
while 1T6 was the greatest year the railroads had ever enjoyed the aver
age dividends for the year were 4.3.1.
the lowest paid in twelve years. In closing Mr. Patterson reiterated
the statement of President Rea that the railroad situation presents a men
ace tu the country.

that they could hold out until the fire
extinguished and the rescue par
ties eould delve below the fire-swept
porton of the mine.
Of the twenty dead all except t
were identified. Those were burned
beyond identification.
Coroner Lane was at the mine raouth
early. After conferring with official
of the mine company he expressed the
belief that the total death list would
not be less than 100 and that it was
more likely to reach 150.
As near as eouJd be determined the
fire started shortly before midnight on tho 2,400 foot level. Before midnight safety-first crewa were on the scene and their heroism in rushing into the dangeroua gas-filled caverns of the mine saved many livea. Doctors and nurses were recruited quickly and were on the scene In time to nave many of the unconscious miner who otherwise would have died. Safety drat tar with1 crewa from Red Iodge and Colorado Spring- were sent for. National guard were on the senna early, but the only duty required of them waa to keep the frantic crowd of men, women and children at a aafe distance from the mine to permit the fir f srhUr and rescuers to work unhampered.
