Howard Elliott Gives Views Be
fore Federal Interstate
Commerce Commission
COMPARES RATES HERE
WITH THOSE IN EUROPE
Wage Demands and Fixed
Charges Are Most Press
ing Questions Now
WASHINGTON, May 2-1. Increases
in freight rates of 30.4 3 per cent In
eastern territory, - 30.95 in southern
territory and 23.91 per cent in westdrn
torrltory, "to meet the difference be
tween the six per cent return on pro
perty Investments permitted under the
transportation act," were advocated
here today by Howard Elliott, chair
man of tho sub-committco of the gen
eral rate committee of tho Associa
tion of Railway Executives, in a state
ment before tho Interstate commerce
commission. " ' - '
learnings Too low. .
M. Elliott pointed out that in the
eastern territory, railroads for tno
year ending October 31 returned on
property Investments, "less than ono
fifth of one per cent." In the south
ern territory, he said the returns were
less than three-fourths of one per
cent and In the western territory
slightly more than two per cent. For
the country as a whole the roturn was
said to have been slightly more than
one per cent.
Pressing Questions.
Under the new transportation , act,
he said, two pressing questions now
under discussion by the Interstate com
merce commission and the newly cre
ated labor board, are tho requests for
wage increases exceeding $1,000,000,
000 a year and an additional 1,017,
000,000 needed by tho railroads to
meet "tho present basis of wages,
costs, Interest and a sum for dividends
and improvements."
Mr. Elliott declared that the rail
road operators wero just as desirous
of obtaining a fair adjustment of wages
for their 2,000.000 or- more men as
they wero to receive the IncreaBed
revenues.
Cost of Transportation.
Ho said that tho price of transpor
tation had not Increased neai'ly so
much as tho cost of production. Ex
penses had gone up at least 100 per
cent, while revenues had Increased
less than 4 0 per cent. He referred to
conditions In European countries
where, he said, freight rates, had been
raised as follows: England, 71 por
cent; France, 140 per cent; Belgium,
100 per cent; Italy. 40 to 100 per cent;
Holland, 70 to 140 per cent, Sweden,
200 per cent; Norway, 150 por cont.
Advance In Wages.
The ?1 ,017,000,000 additional revenue
which the railroads are seeking
through increased freight rates does
not take into account any increase in
wages which rhc railroad labor board
may grant the 2,000,000 railway em
ployes, Howard Elliott, of the Asso
ciation of Railway Executives, stated
loday before lho interstate commerce
commission.
Event of the next few months or
weeks will determine whether govern
ment ownership of railroads will come
despite popular opposition Freder
ick Strauss, of ' New York, today
warned the interstate commerce com
mission, contending that the main
thing at present is to establish a feel
ing or security in the minds of inves
tors. Mr. Strauss appeared before the
commission in support of the railroads'
request for increased freight rates.
Low nominal rates moroly arc of no
use to tho shipper, Mr. Strauss assert
ed, if the traffic is not moved in suf
ficient quantity.

PARIS, May 24. -King Alexander of
Greece is reported here to have been
morganatically married to Madamoi
selle Manos, daughter of a former aid
de camp to his father. King Constan
tino. The Greek legation in Paris has
refused to confirm or deny this re
port. King Alexander's marriage is said to
hav6 been the culmination of a boy
hood friendship, and occurred before
he was in a direct line to the throne.
Tho king and his wife are living at
the same hotel here.
Reports hero impute the king's visit
to Paris to a desire on the part of
Premier Venizelos of Greece for a sep
aration of the king from his reputed
morganatic wife so that he may marry
a princess of royal blood.
The marriage ceremony, it is assert
ed, was performed by a priest of the
Greek church, but was not recorded,
with the metropolitan of Athens, the
supreme ecclesiastic authority In
I Greece. This the explanation for the!
fact that no record of the ceremony is
