transportation of this commodity. The
section of the country affected is large
and is known as the official classification
territory. and practically includes the ter
ritory east of the Mississippi and north
of the Ohio and Potomac Rivers.
Classification Raised.
Prior to January l. 1900, hay was
transported at the lowest class. having
been shipped at siXth-cIass rates for thir-
teen years. On that date the official clas-
sificstion committee, which consists of
representatives OF the defendant carriers.
raised the classification so that since that
date hay and straw have been transport
ed at ffth-class rates. This increase
amounts to one dollar per ton on hay be-
tween Chicago and New York, with pro-
portionate advance for intermediate
points.
Not only has the advance in cost of
transportation been the result of the
change of classification, but the rates
from Canadian points were left as they
had been for a number of years. so that
the imports of hay from the Canadian
border have increased from $4,000 to
40. GOO tons per year; thus Canadian hay
has been supplied, to a large degree, in
place of hay from the Central West in
the New York and New England markets.
Our association has been active in en-
deavoring to secure the return to the for
mer classification by means of letters, Of

in this case was filed in August, and the
hearing of our witnesses was held in Chi

Our contention is that the present
classification Of hay is unreasonable and
an unjust discrimination, not only be-
cause Of the excessive cost of carriage,
which in many cases amounts to 60 per
cent of its initial value but also that the
present classification is an unjust dis
elimination against American hay. for the
reason that Canadian hay is transported
within United States territory at sixth
class rates.
Desirable Commodities
I'VE further contend that the cost of
transportation of all commodities in the
official classification territory should be
relatively low by reason Of the density OF
traffic; that hay and straw are desirable
commodities for transportation purposes,
as they are both loaded and unioaded by
the shippers without expense to the car
rier; they require no great speed and do
net injure the cars, as does grain; that
the change of classification is prejudiCial
to the interests of the shippers. because
less hay is moved in the Middle West. and
because it creates considerable friction
between the railroads and their patrons.
The railroads say that hay is unde-
sirable freight, but they do not say that
it is unremunerative, but they contend
that hay. which completes with grain, pays
the proper rate when it pays twice the
cost of carriage that grain does
