OTTAWA
Opening

biu
of
the
Canadian
railways
for
another
freight

increase,
the

Pacific
Railway
today
told
the
Board
of

Commissioners
that
It
had
a
"revenue
deficiency"
In
1950
on
rail
operations.
Launching
a
case
for
a
five-per-cent
general
increase,
the
company
submitted
figures
indicating
its
1950
revenue
fell
short
by
$2,990,000
of
meeting
the
company's
financial
standard
prescribed
by
the
board
a
year
ago.
Had
the
current
wage
levels
and
prices
of
materials
been
in
effect
for
all
1950,
the
company
contended,
the
deficiency
would
have
been
$12,507,000.
The

Pacific
is
Canada's
"yardstick"
line.
The
board
sets
freight
rates
on
the
basis
of
its
financial
requirements.
"Deficiency"
is
based
on
the
