DECISION INWESTERN
Freight RATE CASE
Allows Some Of Increase Asked
and Denies Almost Equal Number

IWashington, Aug. 1.-The interstate
Commerce commission today grantedTa
pertion Of the freight rate increases
asked for by the western railroads and
refused to sanction others. The adj
vances which the roads are allowed are
Comparatively small. On the items
Which would have netted the greatest
revenue, the increases were denied.
& On the ground that their income
was too low the roads asked for in
oseases in carload rates on commodi-
ties but did not ask for any uniform
advance. Their program would have
increased their income approximately
ten million dollars a year.
Bad Management to Blame.
The majority Of the commission in
refusing the principal increases took
the view that some of the roads which
we're in straits suffered from bad man
agement and financial operations.
com missioners Daniels and Harlan,
the minority, agreed with all the in
oreases granted, contended that others
should have been allowd and held that
improper financial methods should not
debar the roads from receiving reason
able rates for service.
The decision affects all the roads
west of the Mississippi river and in the
southwest Indirectly it fleets every
1SiIroad in the United States. The
J commission summarized its findings as
follows:

OF u. S. IS UNFAIR
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Victoria, B. c., Jan. 27.-Complaint
of unfair competition by the United
States was made by Sir Richard Nc
Bride at the British Columbia Fruit
Growers Convention here yesterday.
The Premier said: I'VE have had
to bear some unfair competition from
the country to the south. and while
would be the last to say anything that
might affect the equilibrium existing
between the two nations. we have
ourselves to consider first always, and
there is only one conclusion to be
derived from the wholesale shipments
Of American goods into our own le-
climate markets that we must try
to obtain the support Of the Dominion
government. We should spare no eff
fort in that direction and endeavor
to impress upon the authorities at
Ottawa the necessity of increasing the
duty on fruit from the United States"

of our women thus and help them to
feel that theirs Is a vital part or the

these women tell the gospel story and
to hear them give bits Of their own
experience. Mrs. Yoong was telling
despairing woman how she had been
blessed. Just two years ago she agreed
to hear the gospel. Soon she became
SO interested that she asked to be
taught to read. She came to our
meetings and Bible classes, learned to
read a little. and In the spring of
1913 accepted Christ as her personal
Saviour and Joined the church. Since
then she has read the New Tesla

She said: I know I am ignuorant.
