DETERMINE ON POLICY.
Interstate Commission Will Suspend
All Revenue Increasing Rates.

Washington. July 14.-The interstate
commerce. commission has determined
upon the policy that it will pursue to-
ward the recent general advances in
freight rates by the railroads of prac-
tically the entire country. The COM
mission will suspend all rates which,
In its opinion, have been advanced
solely for the purpose of increasing
the revenue of the railroads. This will
include all the class rates. As to the
commodity rates the commission will
make certain distinctions. Rates which
have been boosted for the purpose of
readjusting schedules between locali-
ties and not on a revenue raising basis
will not be suspended. Generally
speaking. however, the more impor-
tant schedules of increases will be held
up by the commission pending an in
vestigation into their reasonableness.
The suspensions will be announced
from time to time between now and
Aug. /. the latter being the date upon
which most of the advances We're to
have become operative.
Thl suspensions will affect all of the
railroads in the country with the pos
sible exception of few in the south
eastern section of the United States.
