In cronfio on Freight BASED ON GREATER COST gnv Trices Hnvo Risen Moro Tlinn 100 Per Cent. Sinco War Began. XIoniheaIi July 10, The Canadian Railway Association, representing all lines In tin Uoililnlon, to-day applied to the Hallway Commission for a SO per oent. Increase In freight rates. The association announced that the application was based entirely on pres ent costs of railway operation, Includ ing labor an(l material. These Increased costs, according to the application, ex ceed hy enormous! sums Increased reve nue obtained from the rate advance panted In .AUKUat, 1918. At that time wnse Increases were riven employees based on Increases In the I'nltcd States under the so-called McAdoo award. Although these In creases weic accompanied by rate chsnges, the effect of the new rates was to add only J13.000.000 to the cross menus of the railways as against 9,O00,000 additional wage costs, thus creatine- a. discrepancy of U7.000.000 for mo rirat year, This discrepancy, Instead of shrinking, Is dally crowing greater, according to .Officials. Prices of coal, rails, engines and other material! also have risen, they asserted, more than 100 per cent, since the beginning of the war. "The proposed Increase Is a matter of national necessity quite as much as of railway necessity," declared one execu tive. "This Is not an Increase calculated to offset any accumulated losses on the boolisof any one road, nor to affect the rijto qf, profit .on privately owned rail ways.'.Thu application Is Intended to obfa(rC'for thp railways nothing more and nothing less than compensation for tn'o, alarming shrinkage In the purchas ing power of the railway dollar." 5,000 SLACKERS TO HtlSON.
