PETITIONS FOR
RAFT REDUCTION
A AT CHICAGO

Chicago, Nov. '16.-The interstate
commerce commission today began
hearing petitions by owners of indie
pendent iron mines Of the Minnesota
ranges for a reduction in freight rates
from the mines to the docks at h
head Of the lakes. "a ~
On the basis of an average seasonal
shipment of so, 900, 900 o m of ore the
difference in the prc-war basis and
the present ore shipping rate in
wolves $40. 000, 900 yearly.
At a, hearing last spring the COM
mission granted a reduction in the
rate charged for hauling ore from
docks to the smelters. This reduc-
ton amounted to a return to the pre-
wal basis of rates.
The shippers then p%etitionei the
commission to consider lowering the
present rate of 81 a ton from the
mines to the docks. They seek to
have the pre-war rate Of 60 cents re.
established.
