(AP) -Eastern oil refiners today added their voice to those of agriculture and other industries protesting the proposal of the railroads to increase freight rates throughout the country 15 per cent. Appearing before Commissioners Meyer and Eastman of the Interstate Commerce Commission. representatives of the refiners asserted that railroads had lost oil traffic in the past by failure to reduce rates.
They predicted that any further increase would push more traffic off the rails. Would Raise Oil Rates, E. A. Barror, traffic manager for the Valvoline Oil Company, with refineries at Warren and ler, said that rates would be increased when the eastern class rates and Hock-Smith Act revisions become effective late this year. He said that the industry could not increases above these and asserted that "unless rates for short hauls are reduced diversion of traf.
fic from the rails will continue." V. P. Ahearn, appearing for the National Sand Gravel Association, and three producers, der W. Dann of Pittsburgh, G. W.
Renwick of Chicago and Rollin G. Windrow of the Texas Crushed Stone Gravel Producers' Associa- tion supported this view. Would Not Produce Revenue. Ahearn expressed sympathy with the railroads' efforts to get more revenue but said that his industry was "firmly convinced" and had data to support its position "that such increase in revenue will not be obtained by a general Increase in rates on our traffic." L. Willson, Hoylake, president of the American Paper sioners that paper product shippers Association, told the commiswere almost unanimously against an increase.
The proposed 15 per cent, he said, was estimated to project increased costs to the industry of $20,000,000 a year. C. A. Fulton, Baltimore, representing fertilizer companies, mining phosphate rock in Florida and Tennessee, predicted heavy losses of tonnage to water lines. He said that about half the traffic being hauled by railroads could be diverted to water lines.
HOLD UP OFT. H. LAND NETS BANDIT TRIO S10 Filling Station Proprietor Refused to Open Safe. Contemplating the beauties of night and awaiting business last night brought A. D.
Elder, night manager of T. H. Land's Filling Station at 1864 Chelsea, only a holdup in which three armed bandits secured less than $10. Mr. Elder, who lives at 1199 North McLean, was seated outside of the filling station shortly after when three men approached him.
One nudged him in the ribs with a revolver and told him to "Get inside and don't look at us." Once inside station, Elder was faced to a wall his hands securely bound. The cash drawer was rifled of less than $10. Despite the threats of the three stickup men, all of whom brandished pistols, Mr. Elder refused to open the safe, saying that he did not know how. The safe contained several hundred dollars.
The bandits then backed out of the station and fled, apparently to a. waiting car, after warning Elder to remain still following their departure. Mr. Elder ran to the restaurant of B. C.
Green, next door to the station, where Mr. Green untied his hands. Mr. Elder was able to give police only a meager description of the holdup men. One was middle-aged, he said, the other two young.
All were in shirts and trousers. AT THE AIRPORT. Churchill Humphrey, flying a Travel Air from Louisville to Clarksdale, and H. W. Owens, flying a Curtiss-Robin from Columbus, Memphis were visitors at the airport yesterday.

Speaking at Losslemouth, his country residence, to which he returned after hurried conferences in with cabinet officials and bankers, the premier said: "The nation must stand steady, and listen to nothing of a paincky nature. Policy Is Unchanged, "The government means action, and everybody must help tide the country over its difficulties. a result of bad trade, the national income has been reduced. and therefore, national expenditures must also be reduced.
"The nation will undoubtedly pull through, but in our present stances, we must curtail expenditures." Through the London Dally Herald, official party organ, the premier in a message the Labor party will declare tomorrow: "We have not changed our policy, we are simply compelled to derive spectal measures to meet a temporary difficulty." Discussing financial crisis further at Losslemouth, the premier told interviewers: "I much happier about the general situation, because know there is nothing wrong with the country." The premier's words were taken as an indication that the reported nation- sacrifice" wide drive for "economy by will begin shortly. The details of the drive have not vet been made public, but it was learned today that the premier will call upon the people as one of the most important phases to prevent the deficit of $600.000,000 facing the government.

Hits Wealthy Class. The reported tax will hit the pockets of the wealthy class and act as a sop to radicals of the Labor party who have objected to the proposed slashes in the dole.
The conversion of the 000,000 war loan, bearing 5 per! cent interest, to a lower rate, probably 4 per cent, is to be taken care of by the government. The conversion is to be voluntary, and will affect holders of approximately $150.000,000 worth of the issue in the United States. saving which would be brought about by the conversion of the war loan would be tremendous and with the dole slash and government salary cuts and savings which may result from the disarmament conference at Geneva in 1932, Prime Minister MacDonald and Chancellor of the Exchequer Snowden believe that serious trouble may be skirted.
