in a demand that the freight rates be
advanced 10 per cent. throughout tho
schedules and that they will insist upon
this. in opposition to the reported will
ingness Of important roads north Of

OF these. one Is said to have declared
for an increase Of s per cent. Of the lat

with a sliding scale that VIII bring the
rates up 10 per cent. within SIX months
or a year. Many important contracts,
the terms of which depend in large
measure on freight rates which are
usually made April l are being held up
pending the final disposition OF the mat
