BIG REDUCTION
IN RATES ASKED.
INTERNATIONAL AeRicuErUaAL
CORPORATION WANTS LOWER
FREIGHT RATES.
Petition Filed Yesterday With Inter
state Commerce Commission Pro. y
testing Against Excessive Rates Il
Now Charged =.

Washington, D. c., March 11.--Af4s
leging that many of the southern
railroads are maintaining grossly
and unlawfully excessive rates" over
the large territory con red ey their
lines. and refusing joint through rates
to many important points, the Inter-
national Agricultural corporation
filed with the interstate commerce
commission today a petition asking
not only for relief from the present
rates. but also for the establishment
of reasonable joint through charges.
Tue petition also asks reparation for
large amounts already paid unders
protest over and above fair rates.
The amount in dispute will reach
100000 by the time ruling is OBJ
tanned. ,RgYW
On sulphuric acid, which when com
blned with phosphate rock makes
acid phosphate, the basic Ingredient
OF commercial fertilizers, the com.
mission is asked to order reductions
OF from 40 to 60 per cent in the rates
now offered from Copperhill, Tenn.
where 2S0,Qn0 tons of sulphuric acid
are produced annually, to Richmond;
Norfolk, Savannah, Jacksonville, and
large number of other southern
ana southeastern points.
The petition states that the pres
ent rates are so unreasonable and
excessive that the complaining cor.
poration is unable to market its pro.
duct orsuse it in the manufacture of
fertilizer III many of the most i'm
potant distributing centers.
1 Not only are the railroads rates
! complained of as being excessive in
themselves, but 1t is alleged that
their charges grossly discriminate in
FAVOR OF iron pyrites, the equivalent
IN solid form of liquid sulphurlc acid,
although the transportation of the lat
ter Is less costly to the carrier.
The commissions ruling will be of
great Importance to fertilizer manu-.
faeturers, and, consumers. Owning its
supplies of phosphate rock the In
ternational could greatly increase the
acid phosphate supply, hut for the
present Righ railroad rates on this
product.
