BREAD VERSUS CAKE.
Interstate Commerce Commission De
cides Former Is Necessity.

Washington. Nov. 1.--Bread as neCeS-
sity wins q qualified victory over cake
a. luxury in a rate decision which the
Interstate Commerce Commission an
nounceS today in the case of the Oak
Grove Farm Creamery of Boston, Mass,
against The Adams Express co. and 9th
ers. Tho decision denies the craamery'S
contention that cake should be given as
low Il transportation rate rs hI cad. but
orders a diSrontinuancc Of the defendant
common carriers rule that in Il mixed
shipment of bread and cake 50 per cent.
Of the package must he bread in order
that the packae" should get. the lower
bread rate.
The commission points out that bread
is q necessity of lif" ana an article of
universal consumption and the defend
ants may therefore properly apply TO il
n somewhat lower rate. t3ut the rates
now charged on cake arc held to he nm
reasonable ana should not exceed the reg
nlar mcrchandisc rate. excluding the
weight of the hamper in which r.hr cake
is shipped.
