Rates on Live Stock
from Southwest Are
Ordered Reduced

WASHINGTON, Jan 3.-Radical reduc-
tioas of freight rates on live stock, pack
ing house products and salt today were
prescribed by the Interstate Commerce
commission to apply to all western and
southwestern railroads.
The commission holds that present rates
on live stock from points in New Mexico,
Texas and Oklahoma to Fort Worth.
Tex, Oklahoma City, Okl., and Wichita,
Kan, are unreasonable; that existing
rates on fresh meats and other packing
house products from Fort Worth. Okla
homa City and Wichita to points in other
states also are unreasonable and that
the rates on salt from the Kansas field
to Oklahoma City are unjust.
The findings Of the commission, prepared
by Commissioner Prouty, are the result
of an exhaustive investigation and af-
feet the rates to all points east.
Mileage rates on all the commodities
amounting to an average of approx
mately per cent. No order is issued at
this time by the commission, but the
railroads are given until February l, 1912,
to put into effect the rates suggested.
If they shall not have done so by that
date a mandatory order will be issued
to compel them TO make the prescribed
rates effective. 1t is expected the car
riers will acquiesce.
