RATES DECISION
FAYORS SHIPPERS
Commission Allows Increases on BIZ
luminous Coal, Coke, Fruit
and Vegetables.
DENIED ON GRAIN AND STOCK

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE In
terstate Commerce commission today
granted a portion OF the freight rate
increases asked by the western rail-
roads and refused TO sanction others.
The advances which the roads are
allowed are comparatively small. On
the items which would have netted
the greatest revenue the increases
we're denied.
On the ground that their income
was too low the roads asked for in
oreases In carload rates on commodi.
ties, but did not ask for any uniform
advances. Their program would
have increased their income approx
imately $1O,000,0O0 year.
The majority OF the commission In re-
fusing the principal increases. took the
view that some of the roads which were
in straits suffered from bad management
and financial operations. Commissioners
Daniels and Rarlan. the minority, agreed
with all the increases granted. contended
that others should have been allowed and
held that improper financial management
should not debar the roads from recelv-
ing reasonable rates for service.
The decision affects all the roads west
of the Mississippi river ana in the south
west. Indirectly II affects every railroad
In the United States.
The commission summarized It's find
ings as follows:
