FAiRMoNT COMPANY LOSES.
Rate Case is Decided Against Cream,
cry Case by Commission,

Washington. Jan. 20.-The interstate
commerce commission dismissed the
complaint of the Fairmont Creamery
company against the Burlington. The
creamery company complained OF a
rate Of 32 cents per ten gallon can of
cream from Concordia, Kan, to Crete,
Neb. on the ground that the rate was
unreasonable in view Of the fact that
the Burlington had established a rate
OF 20 cents per ten gallons cream on
100 cans or more shipped from Con.
cordia to Crete by passenger train
This special rate was continued in
force until March l, 1909. On that
date the rate was advanced to 80
cents without limitation as to the
number of cans shipped.
In September of 1909, a special rate
OF 20 cents was restored with an in
crease of the number of cans in each
shipment TO 100 cans during the sum
mer months, the minimum remaining
at 100 cans from October to March OF
each year This rate is still in force
| The complaint contended the rate was
unjust because of a 20 cent rate since
1906 with the exception of six months
| interval above referred to. Testimony
showed that the complaint first sug
gested the present rate and the com
mission thought it all right and has NJ
| reason now to change its mind.
