BRITISH RAILWAY RATES,

INDUSTRY'S PROTEST,

The Association of British Chambers of Commerce have written the railway com- panies, urging, in the interests of the trade of the country, the necessity of re ducing railway rates. The continued high level of railway rates is, the ass ciation contend, causing grave ubrest) among the trading public.

In the course of the letter, which is signed by Mr. R. B. Dunwoody, the secretary,the Association state;-

The president and council of this association have given further considera- tion of the question of the effect of the existing railway rates upon the trade of the country. They have received repre sentations from.the association's transport sub-committee, and, while the council do not wish at present to appeal to the Railway Rates Tribunal in accordance with the powers conferred under the Railways Act, 1921, they desire to submit their views upon the subject for the must earnest consideration of the railway com panies."

This association And the Chambers of Commerce throughout the country desire to see the railways successful and their lines loaded with trallie. In our opinion, however, such conditions cannot be at- tained unless and until rates have been It is the unanimous

The economic conditions which have prevailed since the conclusion of the war have made it necessary for the majority of traders to bring down their prices in order to keep their "works going and to meet foreign competition. My council are glad to note that it would appear to be the policy of the railway companies to reduce passenger fares whenever and wherever possible, and they have no doubt that these reductions are being made with the object of increasing the trafic and the revenue. My council fail to understand why the same policy canrot. be adopted with respect to the rates for goods and minerals. In their opinion, further reductions in such rates will have In the the effect of increasing traffic. opinion of my council goods and minerals traffic cannot continue to bear the pre- sent high rates which are forcing on to the roads a great deal of short distance C. and D. trafic is well as much of the traffic sent longer distances. My council fear that the reluctance on the part of the railway companies to reduce the rates may eventually have the effect of further reducing the quantity of traffic carried by railways, and as a consequence, in" accordance with the Act of 1921, bring about a further increase in railway rates in order to produce the standard revenue. [1 LARGE RESERVE FUSDA."

"It would appear from the returns avail able that scine railway companies are building up large reserve funds instead of trading on ordinary business lines as other traders do in times of stress when trade is falling off. I am to point to the particular case of the London and North- Western Railway Company, This com- pany increased its reserve fund by over £10,000,000 during the years 1913-1921. In 1913 the depreciation fund amounted to £885,000; in 1921, owing to the defer- red maintenance loan by the Government, this fund amounted to £7,189,000. The general reserve fund also increased from $700,000 to £2,000,000. This latter in-l crease was obviously not obtained from the compensation granted under the! Bailways Act, as the company's share was £3,000,000, of which they had a balance of £2,085,000 at Dec. 31st, 1921.
