W00LLEY SUGGESTS
NEW FREIGHT RATES

By The United Press.
WASHINGTON, Feb. i3.-Details OF a
proposed system OF freight rates based
on nat mileage charge plus terminal
costs, were submitted to the Senate in
terstate Commerce Committee today by
Robert w. Woolley, Interstate Com
merce Commissioners.
Amendment Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission act 20 permit fixing
Of minimum as well as maximum rates
VIII be necessary TO Introduction Of
such a rate structure, Woolley stated in
a memorandum to the Senate Com
mittee.
Present methods OF fixing freight
rates Woolley declared, recently result
ed In determinations throughout the
country. He urged revision OF the en-
tire rate structure TO eliminate dis
ordinations such as:
Favortism for the large centers
against the small towns and rural com
munlties; relief for inland towns and
cities which have not the advantage Of
rates accorded cities with both rail and
water facilities. And similar rates for
similar traffic In territories where siml-
lar costs prevail.
Woolley said revenues OF the roads
must be brought up sufficiently 20 cover
these Items.

CHICAGO, Feb. i3.-Police made a
raid on the general headquarters of
the i. w. w. and arrested twenty-nina
idlers 10 see who they were and why
they were not working. An offlcer
said, Government agents protested Nan
interest In the raid, although the police
said the arrests were made with the
knowledge OF the government. The /.
w. W. headquarters has seen little ac-
tivity since William ID. Haywood, the
head Of the organization and nearly
100 Others were convicted Of conspiracy
and sent TO Leayenworth prison last
fall.
The activity Of the police came after
publication OF reports of an alleged
conspiracy aga'ns the life OF President
Wilson and w. G. McAdoo, former Sec
rotary Of the Treasury for which Pietro
Pierre was arrested in Cleveland Tues
day. Pierre, an |. w. w, released
