April 18.—In an address to a gathering of business men In the rooms of the Board of Trade, Vice president George Dallas Dixon, of the Pennsylvania Railroad, presented a mass of figures in support of the re quest of the trunk line railroads for an increase in freight rates. He show ed that in view of the extremely high operating expenses, the railroads of the United States are facing a serious sit uation. and that it is essential to their welfare and to the public good that the proposed increase in rates be premit ted to go into effect. One of the gravest difficulties with which the Pennsylvania Railroad is confronted at present, apcording to Mr. Dixon, is the shortage of coal. He pointed out that in all probability the company's coal bin this year will be increased more than $10,000,000. An other perplexing situation that the company has to deal with, said Mr. Dixon, is the scarcity of labor.
