Western Classification Schedule Turned
Down by State

Chicago Feb. 9.-Members of the
western classification committee have
started a series of meetings in Chica-
go for the purpose of considering num-
erous protests made by shippers and
state commissions against the new
freight classification filed by that body
with the interstate commerce commits
sion. Several subjects not disposed of
at the recent meeting of the commit
tee in Galveston will be considered.
All St. Louis Western lines are repre-
sented. AS a result of a protest made
by Commissioner Clifford Thorns of
the Iowa railroad commission and
Others it was announced that silos will
be put back in class d. with a mini
mum car load weight of 900 pounds,
instead of class G with a minimum
weight of 10000 pounds. 1t is ex-
pected that the committee will urge
the Interstate commerce commission
to approve of a large majority of the
changes 1t has made in the western
classification.
Kansas railroads have been denied
the right by the Kansas public utiH
ties commission to put into effect the
new western classification, ready to go
into effect February Is. The commits
sion checked every item listed and
found about 500 items, mostly small
shipments. at increased rates, and less
than 500. principally car load ship
ments. where there would be decreases.
