NO RATEJNCREASES Railroad Men Gloomy Over Rate Decision Sav tl'e Decisions Will Result in Cm tailing Present Plans Kor Improve U T.t Say Weight of Decision W ill I I' all on Wage Karners. (By Leased Wire' to The Times.) New York. Feb. 24. The-sweeping decisions ol tao Interstate Commerce Commission forbidding rate increases in the ofhcial classification territory and nil tae roads in the great Muldlo West, were answered with gloomy predictions todav bv railroad leaders all over the country. They declared that the decisions will undoubtedly result in curtailing present plans for improvement. On the other hand manufacturers and merchants arc jubilant oyer their victory 'before the federal board and agree with Louis D. Brandeis, who represented tiie shippers betore the commission, that the decisions mark a new and more business like era In American railroading. The railroad duels declare that the weight of the decisions will ultimate ly fall upon tae wage earners causing a decrease in the earnings of hun dreds ot thousands ol employes. But Attorney Brandeis asserts that t.ie decisions are of particular benefit to wage earners upon whom the bur den of .advanced rates would have ultimately rested. ' Here are the opinions advanced by railroad men in various sections of the country: Daniel Willard. president of the tlaltlmore & Ohio: "The decision will result in a curtailment ol plans of improvement. We can not expect so large a revenue with which to go ahead- 1 hop'e it will develop that we were all wrong and that the In terstate Commerce Commission -was right. As I see it the only thing we can do to put luto practice the Bran deis policy of efficiency. However it seems to me that the only way we can reduce expenses is to buy less material." W- C Brown, president of the New York Central: "The decision is a great disappointment and a great surprise." D. Miller, president of tue Chicago, Burlington & Quincy: "We s;iall now be unable to pay the big increases in salaries of employes that we had con templated. The decision means one of two things: Cutting wages or cut ting dividends. We shall hold a meet ing of railroad officials as soon as possible to map out a campaign of fu ture action."
