Iicreaised Operating Cost. \Vashington, Oct. 23.-Increases in rail trainsportation rates to offset the increase In operating expEnses during federal control, will be sought imnie diately from the Interstate Commerce Commission by the railroad corpora tions. 'i'lIs decision was reached to day at a conference between Director General illines and representatives of the railway executives. Director Gen ral I lines 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 ports at the disposal of the railroad corporatlonls if it. was desired to act indepenident ly before the Interstate Commerce Commission. The offer was necepted.

Operating expeises have iiiereased about 94 per cent. and the deficit ilnedo11 by the glvernment in the first eight months of this year was apiproximately $290,000,000. The sub stantial gap) betwen income and ex PCIties nitty be Widened still further bf the pending demands for more money made by virtually all the rail road unions. The conference bet ween Mr. lines and the 'executivos was said to have been Occupied ientirely with discuission of methods of procedure.

The railroad mni insist ed that the government shoul9t assume responsibility for the advanice inas much as the wage raises, the chief item in the iincreased expenses had been ordered by the government, but when .\lr.
