RATE CASES TAKEN UP.
Oral Arguments Begun Before In
terstate Commerce Commission.

Oral arguments in the eastern rate
cases were begun today before the inter-
state commerce commission. They proba-
bly, will continue through the present
week.
The cases involve proposed increase OF
the class freight rates in official classiii-
cation territory-that part OF the country
east Of the Mississippi. and north OF the
Ohio and Potomac rivers. The advances
proposed last spring by the railroads
average about IS per cent over existing
class rates, and cover transportation
charges on many thousands OF articles
included in the various classifications.
The proposed rates were filed with the
commission prior to the enactment by
the congress of the existing interstate
commerce act June IS last. The act con-
ferred upon the commission authority to
suspend any rate regarded as unjust or
unreasonable. After a conference with
President Taft, railroad officials of both
classification territory and western trunk
line territory agreed voluntarily. to sus-
pend the rates until an inquiry could be
held by the commission. They have been
suspended until February 1, 1911.
