FREIGHT CASE
DEc|SI0NDlJE: TODAY
Interstate Commerce Conlmis-
sion Announces Publication
at 4::3O O'Clock Pm.

II was announced today at the inter-
state commerce commission that every
effort would be made to publish the
decision in the eastern 2dyance ireight
rate case ''at or after :; pm. today" Later
it was said the decision would be given
out at 4:30 O'Clock.
The announcement, signed by the
secretary of the commission. was post
ed at the general office. and it was
said it would stand for the day. An
ticipating attempts to forecast the de-
cision, officials said any reports pur-
clusion in the noted case would be
wholly unauthorized and speculative.
Decision Expected for Six Weeks.
The decision affecting fifty-two railroad
systems east of the Mississippi and north
OF the Potomac and Ohio rivers; in what
is designated official classification terri
tory has been under. consideration sew
eral months and an announcement has
been expected from day to day for the
last six weeks At one time July 3 had
been set as a tentative date for the an
nouncement. but the commission found
itself in difficulties, in agreeing upon all
points and retraced its steps reconstruct
ing the decision almost entirely, and. In
fact writing it anew on many phases.
The railroads have asked the in
crease solely on the ground that their
revenues have become insufficient to
meet the increasing cost of wages and
other expenses. Opposition TO the in
crease has been conducted on the
ground that the railroads would ma ye
sufficient revenue without increasing
| charges to the PUBLIC by conserving
their revenue, with greater efficiency
| and eliminating free services to large
shippers.
