and expenses are under the. present
rates. In announcing a growing de
ficit month after month, Director Gen
eral Hines has made it clear that
while Increased payrolls and the high
er prices of all materials and supplies
had much to do with the failure to
make expenses, the abnormal falling
off in business also was a prominent
factor. The last two months have
seen business picking up to such an
extent that the deficit is beijig cut
ed to accept his offer of aid and pro
ceed independently. There is no like
lihood that the'actual application can
be filed for weeks,, though work‘'on
compiling the data will start at once.

HIGHER RAILROAD
RATES BE ASKED
Railroad Owners Want Increase in
Kates to Offset Increased Operating
Cost. - - - —'
.Washington, Oct. 23.—Increases in
rail transportation rates to offset the
increase, in 'operating expense^ during
federal control, jvill be sought imme
diately from the Interstate Commerce
Commission by the railroad corpora
tions. This decision was reached to
day at a conference between Director
General Hines and representatives of
the railway executives. Director Gen
eral Hines made clear that the govern
ment has no intention'of initiating ad
vances but is willing to put all its in
formation and the services of its ex
perts at the disposal of the railroad
corporations if it was desired to act
independently before the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The offer was
accepted.
There was no indication how much
of an advance the railroad men
thought necessary to enable thefn to
operate without a deficit. Indeed, it
is considered likely dhat nobody now
knows how far apart normal income
been occupied ^fttiyeiv with discussinn.
of methods of prdbedure. Whether an
advance was necessary and how much
* •
it should be if necessary, did not enter
into the talk. Tije railroad men insist
ed that the government should assume
responsibility for the advance inas
much as the wage raised, the chief
' - ' T
item in the increased expenses had
been ordered by the government, but
when Mr. Hines was seen to fce
adamant in his decision it was decid
er president.
At a theater a memorial meeting
was held by the Georgia division of the
Roosevelt Memorial association with
Representative Upshaw, of Georgia,
presiding. Senator Hoke Smith, of
Georgia, and Representative Black, of
Texas, delivered addresses.
Noonday meetings were held at va
rious other places.
