VIEW CLASSIFICATION STANDS
Commerce Comnlssion Refuses to Set
Aside Schedule SO.
VICTORY FOR THE RAILROADS
Six Thousand Items and Ratings Are
Involved, but There Are Only
Fifty-Edght Changes
Made.
From the Baltimore American.

WASHINGTON, June 3O--Announcement
was made by the Interstate Commerce com
mission today that it would not suspend
official classification number SO, involving
over 5000 items which was filed to be-
come effective July l. This declination to
act is regarded as a victory for the rail-
roads.
For nearly month the commission has
been overwhelmed with protests against
the proposed new classification of freight,
many shippers seeming to entertain the
idea that the Encouragement would re-
suit in largely increased rates
The subject was considered very care
fully by the commission. In the 600 items
and ratings involved there are only fifty
eight changes of which twenty eight are
reductions and thirty advances, the latter
including twelve increases in carload
weights. In an official statement issued
today the commission says:
"The principal increases are The carload
minimum of horse vehicles from 10000 to
1l,OO0 pounds and an advance in the class
iflcation Of automobiles from first class To
1IO per cent of first class and the commits
sion is not satisfied that these items should
be suspended. This uling, however, will
not prevent or delay the hearing OF any
complaint which has been made or may
be made against the reasonableness Of
these or any other increases effected by
the new classification"
Official classification territory includes
all that part of the United States north
of the Potomac and Ohio rivers and east
of the Mississippi river. 1t takes in ths
cities Of st. Louis and Chicago.
For purposes of convenience all freight
that is not moved under commodity or
special rates is divided into several
classes, the first class taking the highest
rate except in particular instances whore
special articles are required to pay more
than the first-class rate, the second cla9s
a somewhat lower rate and go on down
through the several classes, the highest
numbered class being the lowest in rate.

Fitzgerald was elected mayor yester-
day by a plurality of 1928 after the
largest vote ever polled In the city had

government to consist Of mayor and
council of nine, all nominated by petit
ton of not fewer than 5000 signers.
The election was the climax of the

field:
John F. Fitzgerald, democrat, who
was defeated for reelection in 1907.
James J. Storrow of the firm of Lee.
Higginson company, candidate of the
so-called uplift forces.
George A. Hubbard, the present
mayor.

tai poll was 47,06S and Storrows AS
