Upon protest by the South OAK
ota Board of Railroad Commissio-

Commerce Commission has suspe-
nded until March 81, 1921, proposed
increases in demurrage rates thro-

The present demurrage rates are
fixed at So per day for the first

The carriers propose to substitute
a charge of SO per day for the

each of the next three days and
$40 per day thereafter.
In the event that the Interstate
Commerce Commission holds a
hearing in this matter the Board

assisting in the establishment of
reasonable demurrage rates.
