Denver, Colo, July 21.-One of the
most important meetings ever held by
the Western Classification Committee
will be commenced today at Manitou,
Colo. This organization is composed
of the traffic managers of the railroad
lines west of Chicago and dictates the
rates that shall apply on all commo-
dities shipped west of the Mississippi
river.
Four hundred and ninety-three arti-
Giles are listed on the docket for read
justment. One of the most important
is the question as to whether the roads
shall raise the minimums on some
1850 commodities. If such action
should be taken the result would mean
practically raising of the rates. In
addition to the railroads most of the
