FREIGHT

News of great interest to the ship
pers and manufacturers of the Calumet
region developed last night with the
statement that the first step toward
equalization of freight rates in Indiana
and adjacent states will be made in
Chicago Jan. % when a representative
Of the Interstate Commerce commits
sion will hold a hearing on rates pre-
sented by the Central Freight associa-
ton The Central Freight association
rate readjustment committee viii rep
resent the shippers Of the territory Gov
cred by the freight association
The Central Freight association sr
composed of the railroads operating
east of Illinois to Buffalo and Pitts
burgh south to the Ohio river and
north to the Great Lakes.
Last fall this association submitted
tariff of advanced rates to the inter
state commerce commission with the
request that they go into effect Dec 1.
1916. The commission suspended the
rate measure until March 81. 1917. Aft
er the hearing Jan. 20, the findings will
be placed before the commerce commits
sion, which VIII Decide upon the rates.
= The tariff which the Central Freight
association endeavored to have placed
in effect Dec 1 called for an advance
of 6.9 cents per hundredweight for
first class shipments to Chicago: an ad-
vance of 7.6 cents between South Bend
and Detroit and an increase OF SIS cents
between Lansing and South Bend
To offset these and other tremendous
advances the railroads have lowered
the rates between large cities and
smaller towns, where little freight
service is used. By this the Central
Freight association was able to show
that the average increase was small.
Yet the increased cost to the large
producer IS great. Concerns which ship
great majority of its stock to the
larger cities of the United States and
therefore have to pay much higher
freight rate.

Not since ''1xek" was a pup. was Ham
mond as excited as Sc was today.
In the excitement caused bv tha -
port from Indianapolis that within an
other "a hours, Gary would put over
it's superior court bill, it was decided
at the melnbers' council luncheon of
the Chamber Of Commerce this noon, to
send bucket brigade 70 Indianapolis
instanter and forth with, TO put out the
confagration which Gary had started
years ago and had been feeding with
gasoline ever siuce.
The committee to go TO Indianapolis
tonight is composed Of John Beckman,

Barnett, John d. S-uaEey, John z. R,eil-
ly, Frank o'RourEe and Z. Richard

That Gary'S court bill TO transfer
room three of the Superior court
from Hammond and Crown Point
for permanent work in Gary had
been reported out of both commit
tees and will pass both houses on a
vote tomorrow, was the report re-
ceived by Lake county lawyers to-
day. Furthermore, Gov. Goodrich
is said to have expressed his will
ingness to sign the bill if it is sub
mitted to him.
The opposition forces, if any,
were expected to arrive in Indiana
polls Friday, but at the rate the
Gary boosters are handling the
situation, the bill will be signed by
the governor before anybody gets
ready to put in an objection.
Gary was organized for court
victory from the day of the pri-
maries, and this organization work
is apparently getting results.
