CLUB TO ASCERTAIN JUSTICE OF APPEAL FOR RATE INCREASE Directors of the Commercial club refused yesterday to endorse the action of Indiana roalroads asking a two and one-half cent passenger rate, until an !nvestlgation is made by the committee on steam railroads. The directors pre favorable to the higher rate if it ta certain the railroads are losing fcnoney. One point which arose was the difference in the cost of shipping from the fast coast to the west coast by ranal and by railroad. Canned fruit was taken as an example. The roads charge eighty-five cents now where the canal charge will be thirty-five cents. The railroad officials said that marine insurance and other incidental expenses would bring shipping via canal up to within fifteen or twenty cents of the railroad charges. In speaking of the passenger traffic, one of the Pennsylvania officials said that forty-four cents out of every dollar income of the railroads is paid for wages and twenty-five cents for supplies. The rest goes for operating passenger trains, he said. A C. & O. official said that two local trains operating through Richmond earned only forty-six and forty-seven cents respectively in October per mile and nbout twenty cents per mile more than this during the best part of the summer. Some of the directors want an investigation by the public utilities cominission before taking action on the endorsement of higher passenger rates.
