WITH REDUCED RATE FORECAST REPORT SAYS BOARD WILL LOWER PAY FREIGHT SLIDE SEEN Downward Revision In Wane Kx-MM-t-l Karly In May Mut be Followed lly Iftwnlng of Charges, Commerce Commission Decide (Bulletin WfUhiaaion Bureau.) WASHINGTON. 0.

C. April 23. Lower wage on all railroad of the country, followed by lowered freight rates, are now In sight. The wage reduction will be announced, according to semi-official information, between now and May 1 by the United States railroad labor board, which Is now hearing the final arguments of the contention regarding wage. The cut will not be less than 10 per cent, and may be as much as 15 per cent, but no more.

The length of time to be consumed in the argument may delay the decision a day or two. but In any event It Is expected to be made by May. Cut Is Expected. Following this it is expected that the railroad themselves will voluntarily ask for reductions on certain lines of freight, with the belief that additional traffic will result, and a greater income will be stimulated for the railroads, and this, with the low ered cost of operation, will begin the restoration of normalcy in transportation. Labor leaders are prepared for this reduction in wages, and while there will be vociferous objection, the new wages will be accepted and the railroads will make extraordinary efforts to atimulate Increased freight and passenger business to put Into use the now idle railroad equipment, which has reached the highest levels known In the history of railroading.

It Is intimated in official circle that should the railroad executives not apply voluntarily for reduced rates on certain lines of freight and passenger traffic, steps will be taken to have the Interstate commerce commission reduce the freight and passenger rates on Its own motion under the power conferred upon it by the Each-Cummins law. Plan for IVlicf. In this connection one of the next moves of the government In any event, and regardless of the outcome of the wage and the rate reductions at the present time, will be the creation in the department of commerce of a bureau or division of transportation to represent the purchasers of transportation, both passenger and freight, and to spur the other agencies of the government and the railroad management of the country to favorable and prompt action for the relief of business and the stimulation of normal conditions of transportation the country over. Such a movement ha been discussed with President Harding by Secretary Hoover, and will soon be formally announced. Much of this will be Indicated In the testimony that Is to be taken by the senate committee on Interstate commerce, which ha been authorized by the senate to conduct an Inquiry Into the cost of operation of the railroads.

To Start Inquiry-Senator Cummins, chairman of this commission, has prepared to start this Investigation May 1 and will probably continue his Inquiry for nt least 90 days, allowing all Interested parties a proportion of the time to present their contentions regarding the present difficulties with the transportation systems of the country. Aside from such legislative action a may result, the information secured will be put at the disposal of the department of commerce for uch action as Secretary Hoover may deem desirable. In this connection the shippers will have opportunity to present the prohibitive character of tho present rates In many lines of Industry and their suggestions for new rates, which will move commodities from one end of the country to another.
