Commerce Commission Due Today
The Western Trunk line committee be-
gan two days session at the West hotel,
- Minneapolis, yesterday. 1t was stated
that the committee was Occupied in the
effort to harmonic classification mini
NUNS with various commodity tariffs.
Commodity tariffs set a price at which
certain cOnsignments Of certain weight
will be accepted; the large cars are ca
pable OF being loaded above the mark.
Here, then, is a delicate situation for the
freight agent; for on the one hand he
feels himself obliged to respect the COM
modify tariff, and on the other he knows
that 10000 or 10000 pounds more than the
commodity tariff calls for can be loaded
into the car, provided adjustment of
charges can be successfully accomplished.
1t was expected that by last evening
cases where friction had developed be-
tween the classification minirnums and
the commodity tdrlI would nave Deen QlS-
posed of. Today will be devoted to rou-
tine business. The conference will con-
clude either this evening or tomorrow.
