AOPER CENT RAISE
| IN FREIGHT RATES
Application for Increase to
Illinois Territory Granted
! by !. C. c.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has ordered that a 40 per cent
increase apply on interstate freight
traffic between Illinois and eastern
territory, and a IS per cent increase
in traffic from Illinois into western
territory. These rates were laid down
tby the commission in deciding the
application of increased freight rates
to Illinois territory.
The decision is important in that it
defined the Illinois territory within
which the increased rates as laid
down will be elective. In applying
and western territories to Illinois the
commission said 1.-The state of Illinois
is so situated that it may be regarded
for transportation purposes, as partly
within eastern territory and partly
within western territory"
Considered in Eastern Group.
On further consideration of the rec
ord in the general freight rate in
crease the commission said it was
found necessary that points in IL
linois territory should be considered
to be within the eastern group for the
purpose of applying the increases on
interstate traffic between points with
In Illinois territory: also on traffic be-
tween points in Illinois territory on
the one hand and points in official clas-
sif1cation territory east Of the Indiana
Illinois state line on the other and
that an increase Of 40 per cent may
be made in such rates; and points
within said Illinois territory should be
treated as being in the western group
on trains subject to joint or single
line through rates between points in
said territory on the one hand and
points lying within the boundaries of
the western group west or north of
Illinois territory on the other and
that an increase of IS per cent may be
made in such rates"
The commission defined Illinois ter
-ritory for the purpose of it's order as
consisting of all points in the state
OF Illinois. also points in Wisconsin
on the south of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee and st. Paul railroad. Milwau-
kee to Madison, the Chicago and
Northwestern railroad. Madison to
Dodgeville. and on the east of the
Illinois Central, Dodgeville to the IL
linois state line; also points on the
west bank Of the Mississippi river to
which joint through rates, subject to
official classification. are now in ef-
feet from points In trunk line and
central territory.
