IN EFFECT ON NOVEMBER !


Washington. october 3o-The pro-
posed new classification OF freight By
the southern railroads will become ef.
fective on November !, with such
changes from it's original draft as have
been suggested by the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
The commission recommended that
the present agricultural implement lis,
and the present machinery list be con-
tinued to such an extent as TO main
tain privileges as to mixed carloads
and that the carriers continue the
present ratings on agricultural imple-
ments: that certain rules be withdraw
pending decision by the commission Of
the Western classification case, and that
certain proposed advances in rates be
withdrawn.
To these suggestions the Southern
carriers have acceded. and the new
classification will go into effect. al
though IL Is pointed out by the com
mission that it has not passed upon the
propriety Of all items In the classifi-
cation, and that any OF them may be
made the subject OF formal complaint.
