announced that if he is loser he will
not permit his defeat his dampen mis-

time the railroads were nearly prepared
for such aH increase, but protests arose
and for one reason or another the rates
did not come about.
Now talk Of increase il revived, and,
in fact. some increases are already
planned. Members OF the commission
hardly look Tor general showing up
of rates, but they do look for one set
of rates after another to be raised grad
ually. The commission has already been
notified of an advance OF rates by south
eastern lines, effective August on
packing house products, grain and grain
products, and -four in sicks and barrels,
amounting to from to per cent, per

basing thereon will be increase . cents
