ppular story. 'Rebecea of SunnybroolS

talized on the silver screen, will be pre-
scented as a comedy drama by the chau-

APPROVE INCREASE
IN FREIGHT RATES
Chamber of Commerce Directors
So Notify Interstate Commerce
Commission.

The Board of Directors Of the Chamber
Of Commerce at meeting Thursday
afternoon, went on record as iavoring
an immediate increase IN freight rates, for
the purpose of keeping the roads out
Of the bankruptcy courts. In support of
this decision the directors have sent
etter to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission a copy of which follows: Inter
state Commerce Commission, Hon. l., +.
Clark, chairman, Washington, ID {.
Dear Sir: There Is an application be-
ore yols honorable body by the railroad
companies for an increase In freight rates.
We believe that an increase IN revenue of
the railroads is absolutely necessary SO as
to re-establish and MAINTAIN their credit
and place them In a position to render
adequate service to the shipper and the
public As TO the amount of increase nee
assarv to accomplish this end, we are not
in a position to speak; believing that your
oody, with full information before it,
,an better Judge on this matter. We do
believe, however, that the increase should
only apply TO freight, as that would make
the most equitable distribution of the
increased cost to the community. and that
such increase should be granted at the
earliest practical moment.
i" We further believe that the present
general freight territories, official, southern
and western, should be recognized and
maintained until such time as any mod-
fication OF their territorial limits can be
carefully studied and determined on more
accurate data than can be obtained in the
time necessary to determine the amount
Of increased rate required to meet the pres
ent serious situation.
