PROTEST OF LOCAL
SHIPPERS Is EFFECTIVE
Interstate Commission Orders Roads
TO Keep Southern Rates
Force.

South Bend shippers and manufac-
turers won victory over the railroads
operating out of this city. when the
interstate commerce commission up
held the contention made by local
dealers, that the proportional rate
class for freight TO points southeast of
the Ohio should not be withdrawn by
the common carriers This means
that the fight for the present is ended.
Word to this effect was received by
the Studebaker corporation Saturday
morning
The railroads attempted to with
draw the proportional rates from
South Bend in July, and protests 10
the interstate commerce commission
were Immediately made. This with
drawal would have given local ship
peTs a sO-called local" rate which
would have made the cost Of shipping
freight TO the southeastern territory
beyond the Ohio river almost prohib-
tive. Several large concerns in South
Bend have a heavy trade in this ter
ritOry, and it is said, the withdrawal
of the rates would have practically
closed this territory. 1t would have
forced a number of the smaller deal
ers out of business, ii is said.
Protests against the withdrawal Of
the rates were made by the Chamber
of Commerce and a number of large
manufacturing concerns. other near
by cities took up the fight through
their comm ercial organizations.
The interstate commission which
voted against the cancellation of the
rates, did so without a hearing This
information was contained in the note
sent to the Studebaker corporation in
answer 10 the protest made by that
concern. The commission took the
matter up on their own authority and
il is said. the protest was so justifiable
that no hearing was needed. The fed
eral order was filed in the fourth sec
ton No 50S2
