CASE TRIED SOMEWHERE Ell Sc
PAllSADE TO DEMAND
LOWER CARLOT RATES
ON PEACHES AND COAL

A DECIDED reduction in the car
~ load freight rate on peaches
from the Grand valley to Mis-
souri, river points and an adjustment
OF the coal tariffs to Pacific coast
points of destination will be sought
by the Palisade Business Mems Asso-
citation within the next month or
two.
Al a recent meeting of the board
OF that organization committee was
named to investigate the feasibility
OF an application to the Interstate
Commerce Commission for relief on
each OF the cases. and il is understood
that active steps will be made shortly
TO prosecute the cases before the
government body.
The local Chamber OF Commerce
has extended its aid to the plan and
has turned over its correspondence on
the coal rate question to the interest
ed people.
When the matter was taken up by
the chamber several months ago il
was found that many of the impor-
tant coal operators We're Indifferent
to the plan and would give no sup
port.
F. 4. Jones. who fought and won
the local class and commodity cases
several years ago. has been interested
in the matter and may cooperate
with the Palisade organization.
When the matter of fruit rate re-
auctions were undertaken some time
ago 1t was thought best not to go af-
ter lower rates on peaches. The Pal
isade people, however. expect to cen
tralize on that commodity and de-
mand a decided reduction.
