THROUGH FREIGHT RATES
FROM THE MIDDLE WEST
Order Issued by I. c. c. to Relieve
Congestion in North Allan
tic Ports.

To relieve freight congestion at north
Atlantic ports, the interstate commerce
commission issued an order yesterday
establishing through rates from the
chief cities in the middle west on all
commodities to Charleston, s. c., for
export.
The order provides that the rates to
Charleston shall be the same as those
now in effect from the same points to
Norfolk, Va. The change affects ship
ments from Cincinnati, Louisville, New
Albany and Evansville. Ind; East st.
Louis, st. Louis and Memphis, when
shipments are routed by way of the
Southern railway.
Introduces a Proviso.
In its order the commission specifies
that il does not necessarily approve any
individual rates that may be estab-
lished. but that all such rates will be
subject to complaint, investigation and
correction.
Low through rates are already in eff
feet to Norfolk and ports along the
Atlantic north of Norfolk. The es-
Enlistment OF low through rates to
Charleston will mark the first attempt
to divert to southern ports a part of
the avalanche Of export traffic that has
glutted the railroad yards at New York.
Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
other northern ports for months.
Due to Scarcity of Vessels.
This traffic, which has threatened a
serious car shortage in some sections,
has accumulated primarily because
there are insufficient vessels to move
export commodities pouring into the
terminals.
Extension to other southern ports of
the low through rate privilege may
follow the experiment initiated yesterday.
Authorization for such through rates
releases the carriers from the general
rule against higher rates to interme-
diate points.
