suspended pending hearing on COM
plant which is preparing and will be
filed with the commission. This COM

for in the new tariff are unjust, I'M
warranted, unreasonable and discrim-
inatory. The tariff cancels the old
rates on melons, vegetables, fruits and
other perishable freight from Idaho to
all points in the United States and pro-

in freight rates from $3.50 to SO per
car. In view of the fact approximately

from the affected territory the increase
to shippers in the new freight rates is
estimated at from $4,000 to $4,000
For this reason the public utilities
commission wired the interstate COM
merce commission to have the new tar
iff suspended until a hearing is had on
it's complaint.
