JlF ^ FREIGHT RATE INCREASE $ ^ SC I I I' w $ 9 $ % ¥ 4 $ ¥ $ I Why freight rates are j[^ up $ I ■ ■ I Since 1939, railroad employes have had three general pay raises totaling 52^10%, and the prices of fuel, ma terials and supplies have risen 61^/i(t%. today, few have been so little and so late as that in the price of railroad transportation. But when the war epded in 1946, the railroads were still hauling freight at rates no higher, and in some cases lower, than when the war began. M, .any homes that were wired several years ago dc not have enough electrical outlets for the many uses of eltect.ricity today. However, there is no real reason to continue to be inconvenienced in this ■way. Your eleciiician can install additional outlets and circuits and prepare your home for your full enjoyment of eleclricdl living, now and in the y^rs Without increased revenues, railroads could not meet these costs and also provide improveinents in equipment and facilities—improvements that are essential for the low-cost freight and passenger services which are necessary to America’s high standard of living. How important are healthy rail- roads to a prosperous country? . Only when the railroads are finan- I dally healthy can they provide the new equipment, improved road and better termi^ facilities needed for still better service to you. , 3 100,000 different products. They pay Wg taxes—taxes which are spent pot only for pubbe schools, public health, and police and fire protection, but even for highways, airways, mrports and inland waterways. Railroads are America’s lifeline- keeping goods flowing among the 48 states day and night in all weather. The defense of the nation depends upon the continuance of the efiSdent transportation which served the na tion so well in the last war. They can continue to do this only if there is a reasonable balance between income and outgo. Like yourself, the railroads must make ends meet! to come.
