Should the increase proposed today
and those previously asked for be
gran*3d in luii existing frtiglu rates
won' i be advanced 20.3 per cent, and
the nation's freight bill would be increased
by $1.355.37&?<?75. The total
which would be added to the passenger
revenues under the railway
executive plan would be $233,S27.982
annually. Pullman changes
would go up $43,G3D,3-I4 a year, the
revenue on milk would be increased
$8,0'>2,08') ard the excess baggage
charges would be advanced by *i,42035.
, Over Five Hundred Million.
The plan presented by the railroad
execu* ires disclosed .that they have
estir. nted the wage, award at approximately
$<>2!i.CO0,oi}0, instead of the
$600,000,000 figured by tire laoor
board. 'Alfred P. . Thorn, general
counsel of the association of railway
executives, explained that the $26,000,000
additional was figured on the
basis of overtime allowances provided
in the award.
The proposal of the executives was
submitted to the commission by JVlr.
Thorn after a conference with its
members. It had been worked out at
a series of conferences of railroad
officials here since the announcement
of the wage award by the labor
bca.d at Chicago last Tuesday. The
commission' made no 4>mment re*
- - ? j?j i
ganiing the proposal ana o.m uul indicate
whether it would order hearings.
Hearings on the billion dollarfreight
rate increase case were con,
eluded two weeks ago and general
ex~\ ::aticr. has been that the 'com-;
mission v.ould grant a single increase!
to cover both that and the added ex-;
penses resulting from the wage ad
' vances so as to permit the filing of,
the new tariffs before the govern
ment guarantee to the railroads ex-;
P'>es on September 1. under the:
terms of the transportation act. 1
Submission of Schedule.
The proposal submitted,to the com-!
mission today was outlined in the
following statement of the railroad
executives: j
'^Pne carriers suggest that the rev-,
??nues required to meet the wage
award be raised *in part from pass- j
senger train traffic and in part from
freight train traffic by increasing
rates accruing from passenger train
traffic and by increasing the percent

following manner: . J
"1. All passenger fares to be in- i
creased 20 per cent, with a minimum
of not less than ten cents per trip on.
any form of ticket. The foregoing
includes standard local or interline
fares. * excursion, convention and

Quired to meet the increased operat-1
ing expenses due to the labor board
award, ir. addition to the percentage
increase already proposed." i
The total increase from all sources
of revenue in each of the three railclassification
territories would
correspond to the estimated increase
of wages in those territories and
would be as follows: Eastern, $318,-,'
700,300; Southern, $69,909,495, and
Western, $237,281,655.
Much Money Involved.
? I'nder the executives' estimates'
the proposed increase in passenger
rates would yield annual return of
$111,668,082 in Eastern terrtiory,
$29,826,400 in Southern and $92,332,599
in Western.
The additional increase in "freight
rates would be 10 per cent, in Eastera
territory, yielding $182,020,541;
8.5 per cent, in Southern territory,
yielding $33,798,926, and 8.23 per
cent, in Western terrtiory, yielding
SI 99 551 908.

The total increase in freight rates '
rt-Siuting from the two proposals of
the railroads would be 39.75 per j
cenr. in Eastern territory, 38.91 in i
Southern and 32.03 in Western terri-J

years ago sullenly said th? working
man should be satisfied with $1 a day
and the farmer contented with $1 41

"That is a contemptible insult to
the sincerity of the American worker
and a groveling guarantee to big
business that it has nothing to fear
from Harding, if he is elected. Senator
Harding knows and so does
every other member of the senate,
.for they have all been presented
with the impartial profits and w&ges
report prepared by W. Jett Lauck,
former secretary, of the national war
labor board, that the ratio of profits
in prices has increased from 100 to
200 per cent, as a result of war time
corporate profiteering and that the
ratio of wages in prices has decreased
both by nearly the same percentage
and that the dissinated purchasing
power of the average dollar
makes this economic condition worse
.than it was before the war.
"If this country is to* suffer industrial

the people have been deceived
once more into surrendering control

financial pirates."
