Brotherhood Entertains The Brotherhood of the Baptist church entertained the Brotherhood of the Methodist church last Sat urday night with an oyster supper in the assembly room of the Baptist church. Rev. H. F. Bauknight, pastor of Why freight rates are going up Since 1939, railroad employee have had three general pay raises totaling 52 6 /io%, and the prices of fuel, ma terials and supplies have risen 61^10 But when the war ended in 1945, the railroads were still hauling freight at rates no higher, and in some cases lower, than when the war began. Without increased revenues, railroads could not meet these costs and also y ,■ j . , ■ provide improvements in equipment and facilities—improvements that are essential for the low-cost freight and passenger services which are necessary to America’s high standard of living. Under these circumstances—and al most a year after the last major wage increase —the Interstate Commerce Commission recently approved an average increase in freight rates of 17V l0 %. Of all the price increases in America today, few have been so little and so late as that in the pri& of railroad transportation. * ^ How irtipoftant are healthg rail- roadt to a prosperous country? Only when the railroads are finan cially healthy can they provide the new equippofent, improved road beds, and better terminal facilities needed for still better service to you. The defense of the nation depends upon the continuance of the efficient transportation which served the na tion so well in the last war. • The railroads are among the largest employer* of labor. They buy over 100,000 different products. They pay big taxes—taxes which are spent not only for public schools, public health, and police and. fire protection, but even for highways, airways, airports and inland waterways. Railroads are America’s lifeline- keeping goods flowing among the 48 states day and night in all weather. They can continue to do this only if there is a reasonable balance between income and outgo. Like yourself, the railroads must make ends meet! We are publishing this and other ad vertisements td talk with you at first hand about matters which are impor tant to everybody. h
