PROTEST ON
Rate INCREASE
Agricultural and Livestock
Interests Heard By
Commission

Washington, May 9.-Agricultural
and livestock interests, protesting to
the interstate commerce commission
today against the railroads proposal
for a Is per cent general increase in
freight rates, declared that such q
revision not only would unjustly bur-
den food producers but would handicap
seriously the whole food production
campaign initiated by the government
as war measure.
During the days hearing representa-
tives OF the American National Live
stock association and of the national
council OF Farmers Cooperative as

calculated to show that stock raisers

make a supporting profit II freight
increase were added.
Speaking for the live stock associ-
alton, T. w. Tomlinson told the COM
mission that western cattle producers
will have to get Is per cent more than
last year for their product in order to
make a living. Even then, he said, many
cattlemen doubtless would have to go
out of business and with an increased
freight rate to market, the effect was
sure to be felt in a decrease in meat.
production.

Both Mr.. Tomlinson and Mr. Clifford
Thorne, who appeared for the farmers
association pointed out how the price
OF everything entering into the grain
and meat production had increased.
The middle western farmer, said Mr..
Thorne, who would have to pay much
of the proposed rate increase, now has
an average yearly income OF only about
$3.50.
Mr.. Thorne and other shippers rep
resnetatives urged that rates be read
justed rather than increased by a fat
fifteen per cent.
Counsel for the roads explaind that
all existing prefenentials woul be pre-
served as far as possible IL the increase
was authorized. This was one of the
considerations on which the original
petition by the roads was based.
