RAIL And LAKE RATE
INCREASES REFUSED
Commerce Commission in De.
cisiOn Says Water Trade
Must Be FOstcrcd.

wAsurNGroN. Jan. 11.--Prcsent rail
and lake rates and rail, lake and rail
rates on package freight to and from
New York and other points in trunk
line and New England territory from
and to Chicago and points west OF the
1llinois-Indiana State line will not he
disturbed. The Interstate Commerce
Commission held that the proposed in
creases are not justified and ordered
the tariffs providing for them cancelled,
The carriers sought increases averag-
Ing a little more than s per cent, in
order. as they contendcd to preserve
the same adjustment and difYerentials a.
existed before the commission allowed
the 8 per cent. increases in the all rail
rates. The first class rate from New
York to Chicago was IS cents a hun
dred pounds and was Increased to 7Ss
cents the lake and rail rate being 62
cents
The decision in the case says:
THE commission is unconvnced that
these proposed rates should be permit
ted to become effective in order to
restore the former relation. ON the
contrary. 1t is convinced that the main
tenance Of the present greater differen-
tials will give to the lake routes an
opportunity OF growth which seems to
have been denied them heretofore"
Financial needs of the lake line routes
were equal in severity to the financial
needs Of the all rail line routes the
railroads contended, and In addition
the forces Of competition threaten the
stability OF the all rail 3 per cent. in.
crease and to avoid the effects Of this
competition they should be permitted to
increase their lake and rail rates.
The commission states that the lake
lines have had practically no voice in
the naming OF the rates.
