COMMERCE COMMISSION
ISSUES NEW TARIFFS

Washington. April 2S.-An I'M
portant series of rates was yesterday
filed with the interstate commerce
commission affecting westbound traf-
fic to Pacific coast terminals. The
rates. which are to become effective
June 5, make an average reduction
of ten cents per hundred pounds on
all commodity tariffs from the At
lantic seaboard to the-Pacific coast.
On January 1 the transcoptinental
railroads put into effect rates to the
Pacific coast, to which the western
shippers strenuously objected. 1t
was evident that complaints were to
be made to the interstate commerce
commission unless some amicable
adjustment of the situation could be
reached.
In February at Chicago confer
ences were held between represen-
tatives of the shippers and railroads
at which a tentative agreement was
reached. The result of that agree
ment is embodied in the tariffs just
filed No reduction has been made
in the eastbound traffic from the Pa
cific coast, but it is expected that
tariffs soon to be filed will make q
corresponding reduction on such traf-
fic
