The Oklahoma committee spent last
Tuesday in discussing the rates with
the regional traffic committee in Chi
eago. No action was taken and the
Oklahomans WIRE referred 10 the south
western Subcommittee.

taken up but the Oklahomans were in
formed the committee had decided 10
apply on Oklahoma the same rate basis
used in Texas for short hauls. In
Texas. claimed the Oklahomans. there
IL a considerable offset for long haulS
while Oklahoma has no such long haul
offset.
An appeal by the Oklahomans to be

Son coal our rates will he based upon
the former rates Of the corporation
commission, first adding IS cents per

che railroads. and then adding the fol-
lowing figures. as per Director Cen
eral MeAdoo'S order viz:
Where the rate is q TO ~
cents per ton, IS cents per ton
"Where the rate is 50 ornts to 90
cents per ton, 70 cents per ton.
Where the rate Is Sl00 10 Sl0
per ton. 20 cents per ton
Where the rate is 500 to 500 per
ton, 40 cents per ton.
Where the rate is $500 or over, 50
cents per ton"
"The old Oklahoma City rate from the
MeAlester district was Sl20 per ton;
this will add IS cents plus 80 cents,
plus the war tax OF cents,
making the new rate Sl70 per ton. or
an increase OF approximately forty per
cent.
Stone for building purposes In
crease 2 cents per 100 pounds; stone
for concrete cent per 100 pounds ,
sand and gravel cent per 100 pounds;
britk 2 cents per l00 ifonnds; cement 2
cents per 100 pounds lime ~ cents per

Wheat Rate Increased
THE Kansas Oklahoma wheat rates
increased by rs percent, with a maxi
mum OF rs cents for single line hauls
and ~ cents for two single line hauls,
will apply in the state OF Oklahoma on
all grain and grain products. The two
line differential is 2h cents per 100
