The so called class rate schedules
are those that affect the larger per
centage of people, being the maxi
mum rates assessed. The commodity
rates are established more generally
on materials that move in larger
quantities and at less than the class
rate, at which such commodity is pro-
vided in the general classification.
There are, therefore, two sets of
schedules of rates that can affect a
community favorably or adversely,
viz: class and commodity rates. A
review of both sets of schedules show
them to be cut out of alignment, both

the carriers. 1t is not expected that
the railroad officials can keep inform
