ed.
The advance, st is said, will be from
to 10 cents hundred pounds hori-
zontally, to correspond with the adj
vance decided on by the Southeastern
Freight Association recently.

considerable opposition on the part
of railroad executives, who maintain
ed that an advance of rates at the
present time was impolitic, but this
opposition was finally won over by the
argument that in order to meet the
various increased expenses an In
crease in rates was absolutely neces-
sary.

interested are CHARTERED in Louisville
