MOTOR CARS ESCAPE
RAISE IN FREIGHT
Automobile Dealers Receive In
formation That Rates Will
Remain the Same
Will Maintain Standing Commit
tee to Keep in Touch
With Railroads

The scare that the automobile deal
ers received a short time ago that the
freight rates were likely to be raised
has proved to have been but a night
mare, although for a time it looked as
if the tariff on motor cars would be
much higher.
The automobile dealers went before
the railroad officials in this city and
explained the situation. At the same
time they formed an association to
take legal steps if necessary.
They also got into commupication
with the southern dealers and those in
case was much heavier than to Califor-
MIA terminals.
Information was received from the
northwest yesterday which indicates
that there will be no change in the
present rates. Such being the case,
the California lines will have to take
the same position. In fact it is about
settled that there will be no change
on the coast this year. 1t was close
call. for If the railroads had decided
to stand by the action of the traffic
managers of the transcontinental lines
it would have taken lot OF work to
haYe had the rate reduced.
1t is now proposed by the fealers to
have a standing committee which will
keep in touch with the railroads and
have representatives at all meetings
where the freight rates may be consid-
cred.
