RAILWAYS WILL BET INCREASE Petition for Higher Rates Partly Successful. REPLY OF COMMISSION Interstate Body Says Some Tariffs Are Too Low, but Adds That In- efficient and Extravagant Manage- ment Is Very Apparent. Chicago, June 17.—The Herald in a Washington dispatch says it is‘in po- sition to forecast that the sallent points of the decision of the inter- state commerce commission on the petition of the railroads of the East- ern division of the country for a 5 per cent increase in rates will be: First—The commission will deny the application for a-flat increase of 5 per cent.

The first question the commission will answer partly in the affirmative. The second question the commission will answer in this fashion: Some rates are too low.

It was considered that this would be un- fair, because some railroads do not need the ’1d\‘lnce SITUATION QUIET AT BUTTE Federation of Miners to Inve “ Recent Trouble.
