EASTERN RAILROADS FREIGHT RATE HEARING‘ Pennsylvania Company President B fore Interstae Comrmerse Commis- sion. Washington, Oct. 12.—President James McCrea of the Pennsvivania Railroad company rendered illuminat- ing today's hearing before the inter- state commerce commission on the proposed advances in freight rates by the roads east of Chicago. He was on the witness stand all day, and, in the judgment of the members of the com- mission, proved an admirable witness. He urged the necessity from the viewpoint of the railroads, of the pro- posed increases in rates on account of the increased expenses in wages in- curred by the roads during the last ten years—aggregating 33 pi in the case of the Pennsylyania rail- road—the increased cost of living. which bears upon every operative in railroad service. great or smali. and the increased cost_of maintenance of railway service adaquate to the wants of the American people. In - his testimion; he Said that. Te- sults of the constant increases in ihe business of the Pennsylvania raliroad ough a long period of years, were distributed Dby reduction in rates or increases in amounts paid for Wages and material, or by re-investments in the property not capitalized. He ex- pressed the earnest helief that a property of the magnitude of the Pennsylvania railroad, rendering a rvice satisfactory to its patrons, and eriving, as it did derive in 1909, net earnings to the amount of only 5.01 per cent. of the amount actually in- vested in the property,” was entitled to fair consideration by the govern- ment and by the people, and he could not understand how a system of rates which_secured such results could be regarded as on too high a basis. The hearing was conducted _before the full commission, Chairman Knapp presiding, and_was attended by rail- road officials from all parts of the eastern trunk line territory.
