URGES RAISING OF PASSENGER FIRES Age-Gazette Says Commission Hints That Rate on Eastern Railroads Is Too Low I I Raising of interstate passenger fares i with a view to nullifying the two-cent j laws is suggested by the Railway Age- II Gazette as a means of increasing reve nues, because the rate decision failed to grant all the roads desired. The Age j Gazette says: "The commission has broadly inti j mated that it believes that the passen | e'er rates in eastern territory are too low. The railways reply that they can not raise them because of State legisla tion. But the State laws do not prevent them from raising the interstate pas senger fares. If they should raise the interstate passenger fares the result would be a discrimination against in terstate commerce similar to that which the Interstate Commerce Commission and later the Supreme Court condemned in the Shreveport case. The discrimina tion would consist not in the interstate rate being too high, but in the State rates being too low. Would not the creation of such a situation empower and practically compel the Interstate Commerce Commission to nullify the State passenger fare laws? Shouid not the Eastern lines get together at once and take whatever steps they can in the direction of enabling the commis sion to co-operate with them in mak ing advances of both State and Inter state passenger fares?" READING BRAKEMAX HURT Elijah Slaybaugh, aged 27 years, a brakeman in the Reading railroad yards at Rutherford, was admitted to the Harrisburg Hospital at 4.30 this morning in an unconscious condition.

STEEL IDE GROWS CONSTHNTLY BETTER Iron Age Predicts That Most Mills Will Run Despite the European War . With an ademiate supply of ferro manganese on the way to this country and an increasing demand from for eign countries for American steel, the Iron Age in its weekly review of the steel situation to-day predicts that steel mills will be able to tide over the dull times attending the European war. Ferromanganeso is an essential in steelmaking and a cessation of the 1 supply has threatened to put a severe crimp in the American steel business. The Iron Ago says: "Early relief of the tension in ferro manganese, which really has become the pivot of the steel situation, is promised from England in our cable of to-day. English makers may be able to ship to this country next week. While their ores from the Caucasus arc cut off, a great deal of ore from India, originally sold to Germany, is now being diverted to England. A number of steel companies here are still uneasy about their manganese ! supply, but there Is less excitement. ; "Sales of domestic splegeleisen to eke out the ferromanganese supply are being made at $32 to $35 a ton at I eastern furnaces. The recent buying of spiegel has amounted to 35,000 to 40,000 tons. "Apart from ferromanganese the feature, of the situation is the inquiry coming from England for American steel. Already British steel companies, which have long been undersold at home by continental works, have taken large orders for semifinished steel from sheet and other rolling mills, these, sales running up to 3 0.000-ton lots. British makers of galvanized sheets have also turned to the United States for sheet bars. "Great Britain will be in the market for a large amount of linished ma terial, originally placed with conti nental works, and at the advances of $5 a ton on plates and some other products which have resulted from the war some of this business will be at tractive to American mills. Several producers in this country have already been feeling the British market. "Canadian inquiry is reported at | Pittsburgh for plates, sheets, tin plate and wire products, and, though Ca- I nadian business conditions have not I been good, quite a little additional buying will have to be done in the | United States, in the failure of Euro j pean mills to make deliveries. | "Japan has inquired for American low phosphorus pig iron, also for bil j lets, nickel and ferroalloys. South American inquiries have increased I also, but financing is the most urgent | need in several of the countries to the south, in all the foreign business now coming up the unusual difficulties of transportation and exchange make ne gotiations slow and uncertain."
