On class rates in Chicago and Cen

The eastbound commodity rate. from,

1t Is notable that the bulk OF the

rates which show a decided increase.
This announcement was made today
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
SIGN.
An intimation OF the intention OF
the Trans continental roads thus 10
increase the rates has been receiv-

and they have delugcd the Interstate

in protest of the increase. The com
mission has no authority to prevent

likely however. that formal COM
