WASHINGTON. March 17 General ad-
vances In freiuht rate will be ougM
' probably within the next 10 daya by rail-
roails in every aectlon of the I'mled
States. Preliminary steps were taken
Tuesday by virtually all railroads con-
cerned In an Informal conference with the
Interstate commerce commission.
Definite announcement u made that
the advance asked for Eastern roads
would be 15 per cent on all commodities
except ore. bf'uminous coal and cox.
Representatives of Western linea while
'not stating specifically the percentage of
Increase desired Indicated that they. loo.
would ask for 15 per cent.
Itailroads of iho Southwest submitted
f Inures showing that increases ranging
between It and 21.4 per cent were needed
to meet additional costs of operation al-
raa.1v ailatinu in the case of live lines.
Southern railroads probably will de
termine the percentage of increase oe
air.) at n confi rence here next Friday.
No authorliy will bo sought under
present proceedings to Increase passen-
ger fares.
In addition to the proceedings oeiore
the interstate commerce commission con-
cerning Interstate freight rales spokes-
men for the railroads let It be known that
thev are preparing to ro bufore every
Stale lailroad and public utilities com-
mission in the union to ask for authority
jo increase their freight tariffs on Intra
stale traflic.
KANSAS OFFICIAL
OPPOSED RATE INCREASE.
But one dissenting voice was raised at
Tuesday's conference. A. E. Helm rep
resenting the public utilities commission
of Kansas city figures to uphold his con
- tenUon that th- railroads' emergency was
not so pressing as it had been depicted
and that net Incomes of the roads iasi
year were tremendously greater thn the
year bwore. lie protested against uu -thorlxalion
by the commission of general
incruuaid rates without lull investiga
tion.
Telegraphic protests against the pro-
posed increases poured into the offices
of the commission all day. Twenty-five
telegrams were received during the con-
ference. In the case of ail railroads except In
the .South the request for amendment
of the rules m as to permit a prompt
general advance in rates was based pri-
marily on the ground that the cost of
labor fuel equipment and supplies has
risen to unexpected levels and that taxet
also were much higher than last year.
President Harrison of the Southern rail-
way speaking for the Southern lines de-
clared the roads of his section were pros-
perous and would continue to make
money even under present conditions but
that without an advance in rates they
"could not grow."
The prime need of Southern roads he
continued was capital and this could
not be obtained with earning capacity
curtailed as under present conditions.
EITHER BETTER EARNINGS OR
GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.
B. F. Bush receiver of the Missouri
Pacific told the commission that unless
there was a general advance In freight
sates authorised by the Interstate com
merce commission and the State com-
1. issiona there was but one alternatlv
government ownership.
Mr. Bush said there was a growing
sentiment in the southwest In favor ot
granting the railroads sufficient rates to
enable them to make a reasonable return
on the rupital invested keep up their
equipment and plants and make additions
essential to meet the needs of increased
business.
1'iesident Holden of the Chicago Bur-
lington and Quincy. said that a IS per
cent advance for western roads would
meet the increased cost of operating due
lu me nigner cost or supplies ana labor.
: Oeorge Stuart Patterson representing
toe eastern lines declared there was no
ian to advance rates unreasonably and
that all that the roads sought was fair
treatment expedited as rapidly as Pos-
sible to enable them to meet tremendous
Increases in operating costs.
What the roads propose to do repre
entatives of both the eastern and west-
ern lines declared is to file supplemental
tariffs to all existing Yates increasing
them by a given .percentage. In this
manner proceeding? could be hastened and
the roads would not face a burden of
JSPO.OOO to 1400.000 for printing new spe
cillc tariffs. The. printing oi new tar
iff applying to all commodities also
would entail a long period of labor
which would delay action.

Afterward the statement was authorized

Theft Insurance on Your Ford Car for $5.69
A "PERRY" LOCK makes your car absolutely secure against theft
Can be installed in 15 minutes.
When the car is locked the steering wheel has no connection with the steering post whatso
ever and is free to spin like-a top.
The front wheels are wild when car is locked.
The car can not be driven or towed away.
The "PERRY" LOCK has 17 tumblers and can not
be picked.
It is handy and easy to lock but impossible to beat
as no key will fit more than one lock.
The "PERRY" Lock is not a cheap ignition or gas lock
and does not lock the steering wheel in a rigid position
so that it can be broken.
The "PERRY" locks the whole car not just a part of
it. It is POSITIVE in its work.
Sent postpaid upon receipt of price or may be pur-
chased through your dealer.
