ticket brokers. which is now on before con-

WILL NOT RAISE THE RATES.

w LIZ I>Ol IhhloE LIE li4Ai
Commercial Agent Hohenthal of the Lone
Star company yesterday said that lie had
been notified that his company would not
raise the southbound rates for the present.
The first class OF charge of 10 cents per 100
pounds to Galveston will remain in effect
for at least twenty days.
The question of refusing Lone Star
freight unless the charges are prepaid
through to destination was discussed quite
extensively. by railroad men, the general
opinion being that the Galveston. La Porte
and Houston would continue to receive all
freight on through bills OF lading as it did
once before when a similar nrler was sent
forth BY the Houston and Galveston lines.
General Freight Agent Nelson told re-
porter for The Post that his Office had not
been officially advised OF such an order,
and he was unprepared TO say what the
Bay Shores attitude in the premises would
be.
1t will be remembered that when the
railroad attempted to place IN effect the
order referred to. freight vas rendered and
accepted by them as had oeen their GUS
tom heretofore.
