REDUCE OKLAHOMA RATES.
Principal Rates Lowered TT Confer
ence Held at Kansas City.

Kansas City Dec. 15=Oklahoma
has won in its struggle with the rail-
roads for reduced rates on freight.
The controversy was settled at a con-
ference held here and participated in
by Frank F'Rantz, governor of Okla
hona; w. o. Cromwell, attorney gen
eraI and freight traffic officials Of the
Rock Island, Santa Fe, St. Louis &
San Francisco, Missouri. Kansas &
Texas and the Fort Smith & Western
railroads.
The conference resulted in the rail-
roads yielding to the demands of the
officers of Oklahoma. AS a result of
the argument, the Kansas scale of
freight rates will be applied on grain,
grain products and merchandise, and
the Arkansas rates on coal will be ap-
piled in Oklahoma. The Kansas scale
will reduce the rate one cent a hun
bred on grain and give reduced rates
on merchandise and other commodi-
ties.
The applications of Arkansas rates
on coal will materially reduce existing
rates One of the results of the con-
ference is an agreement on the part of
the Oklahoma officials to dismiss suits
now pending enJoining the railroads
from collecting the rates that have
been in controversy.
