Several public representatives were

,l'. Lane said the industrial disputes
Iwhich have been held in abeyance
pending the outcome of the original
conference probably would and should
be further postponed.

Second, it demonstrated the great

Asserting that the lidustrial prob
101118 of the nation are of importance
to every citizen, regardless of whether
he 'be wage earner or a salaried per
son, Mr. Baruch stated in his letter of
transmittal all workers merit not
alone proper financial treatment but
the recognition of their position as
part of the foundations of society it
self. This recognition, he said, must
come not as a privilege granted but as
a matter of inherent right.

\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.

heard in disculssng ian ilcreasee has
been 25 per cit., perhaps du4e to the
fact that tie last increase, initiated

that amount. 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

The conference bet ween Mr. lines
and the 'executivos was said to have
been Occupied ientirely with discuission
of methods of procedure. Whether an
advance was necessary and how much
it should be if necessary. (lid not enter
into the talk. The railroad mni insist

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. Ilines was seei to lbe
