The ad- Yznces wheh the roads are allowed are Gomparatively small. On the items which would have netted the greatest pevenue, the incerases were denied. On the ground that their income was too low, the roads asxed for in- eases in carload rates on commodi- ges but did not ask for any uniform gdvance. Their program would have increased their income approximately ten million dollars a year. Bad Management to Blame. The majority of the commission in refusing the principal increases took the view that some of the roads which | <ere in straits suffered from bad man- agement and financial operations. @ommissioners Daniels and Harlan, the minority, agreed with all the in- creases granted, contended that others should have been allowd and held that all the more important increas asked. The advances granted are in the viewpoint of the commission of relatively little significance. The commission itself has no f estimate of the amount of the in- creases in dollars and cents. From various estimates of record, however, made by witnesses for both sides and based upon the higher figures where the estimates disagreed, the following announced jn the decision, indicates roughly the annual increase in he railroad revenues had the increases been allowed to go into effect: “‘Grain and grain products, $2,940,- 237; Ji\'es(ock $1,500,000; packing hous = products and‘' fresh meats $1,500,000; coal $1,226,122, making with other items, a'total of $7,604,247. Dissenting Reports Filed. Dissenting reports were filed by Commissioners Daniels and Harlan. Differing from the attempt of the eastern railroads to get a five per cent. increase the western roads, in- stead of asking a uniform increase, singled out particular commoditics, moving mainly in carloads, and pro- posed specified increases, changes 4f- fecting minimum weight: increased charges for special service, and i creased rates on a number of mis- cellaneous article: They based the claims for additional revenue on the ground of financial needs, the down- ward tendency of their net earnings and becausesthe commodities involved do not bear their equitable share of the burden. The state commissions and other bodies denied that the fir- al improper financial methods should not | ancial condition of the roads warrant- debar the roads from receiving reason- able rates for service. The decision affects all the roads west of the Mississippi river and in the southwest. Indirectly it ffects every #ilroad in the United States. Tha commission summarized its findings as follows: Summary Of Decision. The commission summarized its de- on as follows: “Proposed increased carload rates on grain and grain products consider- &d as one commodity not justified. “Proposed increase from 30,000 pounds to 40,000 pounds in the min- imum carload weight of grain ducts justified. “Proposed increased carload rates on livestock not justified. “Proposed increased carload rates on packing house products and fresh meats, except as indicated be- tween points on the Missouri river, Mot justified. “Proposed increased carload rates on fertilizer and fertilizer materials not justified. “Proposed increased rates on bit- uminous coal, except as to South Da- kota points, justified. The rates on coke here proposed, which are the same as on coal, justified. “Proposed increased carload rates 3n brewers’ rice and less than carload rates on domestic rice justified. “Proposed creased import rat and proposed increases in carload minima from gulf ports, justified. “Proposed increased carload rates on fruit and vegetables, justified. “Proposed increased carload rates | an hay and straw, where not in ex- | cess of Class C, justified. “Proposed increased any-quantity rates on cotton piece goods and pro- posed increased carload rates from points .in Texa not justified.” Denies Impertant Increases The decision affects freight rates mainly west of the Mississippi and in the southwest.

Orders Soon to Army Posts. In accordance with Secretary Lan- sing’s announcement yesterday that it might be necessary to strengthen the forces on the border because brigandage, orders probably will be troops in readiness, if not actually to move them. Secretary Garrison re- turned today and conferred with his staff on the subject. “The conditions on the border,” said he, “have nothing whatever to do with the fighting in Mexico and have no political significance. Law less people are using this time of ex citement for an opportunity plunder and steal, and we are not sure Some of them we know, are not.” Under, Major General Funston's command on the border are nine regi- ments of cavalry, six and one-half regiments of infantry and two regiments of field artillery, in all about fourteen thousand troops. At other posts in continental United States are about 12,000 more mobile troops. Tt need of troops became imperative it might be necessary to use some na- tional guardsmen. Officials Still Reticent.
