THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, APRIL 30, 1935 PEITIONC. of C. Asks Roosevelt FOR RATE INCREASE MEETS OPPOSITION {commission Hears Lines’ Re- quest for Boost in Charges on Intra-State Hauls Opposition to any increase in intra- State freight rates on ties, as requested by railroads operating in North Dakota, was expressed Tues- day before the state board of rail- road commissioners at a hearing tn the capitol. The railroads petitioned for an em- ergency increase in freight rates and charges on hauls within the state. based on the same increases per- mitted by the interstate commerce commission for interstate hauls which went into effect April 18. Representatives of traffic, dealers ‘and operators associations, and state traffic experts who opposed any in- creases claimed the proposed rates wwould seriously jeopardize the invest- ment of dealers in lignite and other ‘commodities who depend on rail ship- ments, because of the truck competi- tion. ‘Would Total $134,000 F. P. Aughnay, traffic expert of the Btate railroad commission, testified that he estimated the average in- crease under the proposed new rates would total $134,000 annually in the 6tate on lignite shipments alone. Representatives of the railroads contended the increase on all com- mmodities would be approximately 100,000 annually, and claimed in- creased rates were necessary to net earnings to meet fixed charges, the earnings now being below the re- quirements. The Great Northern road was rep- resented by J. P. Plunket, general counsel, R. B. Snyder and W. M. Burn, statistician, all of St. Paul. Roy E. Smith of St. Paul, assistant general freight agent, represented the Northern Pacific railroad, while ap- pearing for the Soo Line were A. H. LLossow, Minneapolis, commerce coun: fel, and A. R. Hayward, Minneapolis, chief of the tariff bureau. State Well Represented Among those appearing in opposi- tion to increased rates were E. M. Hendricks of Bismarck, manager of the North Dakota Lignite Coal Op- erators association, N. E. Williams, traffic commissioner for the Fargo Chamber of Commerce, W. E. Ches- nut of Fargo, president of the North Harriman Requests Postpone- ment of Measures in Inter- ests of Speedy Recovery Washington, 30.—(P)—A call to the Roosevelt administration to interests of a speedy recovery was timan, president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. This was the keynote of Harri- man’s address opening the 23rd an- nual convention of the chamber. Couched in moderate but language, Harriman’s speech disclosed vital differences from the views of the administration on several major Roosevelt plans. Harrimann, who has been regarded by his associates as a counselor of friendiy relations with the adminis- tration, mixed praise with his criti- sm. “The New Deal has attempted much that 1s good,” he said, “but it has tried to do too much in too short @ time.” C. B. Ames, chairman of the Texas company, hit at what he called “the bungling effort of Washington bureauracy to regiment American business.” Lists Recovery Planks Ames, who a few months ago headed a group of 100 major business leaders in a conference on recovery, proposed that the new NRA may provide only for purely voluntar: codes. He sald “the best thing about NIRA, NRA, the Blue Eagle and the administration of them is the fact that public sentiment has repudiated them.” Harriman listed four planks for a recovery, which he visioned as likely to wipe out unemployment and create @ labor je: “First—An assurance that congress will adjourn soon and that there- wait a real revival of industry. “Second—An international stabiliz- ation of currencies at the earliest possible date, so that foreign trade may move with less hazard. “Third—A strong assurance that not be used as ® measure to restore prices, and, and drastic reduction of government expenditures after the present emer- spent.” Dakota Traffic association, T. A. ‘Durant, traffic manager of the state mill and elevator, who also represented the Grand Forks Traffic association, ‘Wesley Keller, Minneapolis, executive secretary of the Northwest Retail Coal Dealers association, B. A. Pratt, St. Paul, traffic manager of the Nor- thern States Power company which furnishes service to Fargo, Grand Forks and Minot; E. G. Wanner, sec- retary of the state board of adminis- tration, J. A. Heder, Commerce counsel and C. F. Martin, statistician of the state board of railroad com- missioners. All three members of the state board ‘were present at the hearing, Commis- sioners Ben Larkin, C. W. McDonnell and Elmer Cart. The hearing, which opened late Monday, was to be con- cluded Tuesday. 3 GOLDEN EAGLETS GET BADGES FRIDAY less Public Invited to Girl Scout Court of Awards at World War Memorial Building Featured by the awarding of the Golden Eaglet pin to Irma Logan, ‘Betty Laist and Norma Peterson, the annual court of awards for Girl Scouts of Bismarck will be held Fri- day evening at the World War morial building auditorium.
