October Decision.
The October decision instructed
the railroads TO make the reduction

because the railroads opened negotia-
tions with the commission suggesting
that 10 per cent decrease in freight
rates on all agricultural products be
substituted for the larger decrease
on grain products and hay alone.
The commission, however, by the
order issued today disregarded the
compromise proposed by the rail
roads and makes the larger decreases
on hay and grain mandatory upon
the roads.
The order issued today made
specific and definite the hay and
grain reductions. The original de-
cision said railroads should reduce
the rates On the products concerned
by one half of the increases given
in 1920.
The commission today ordered
hay and grain rates between noun

l25 per cent above the rates in et-
feet before the 1920 increases.
Percentage of Reduction.
Between points in the western
group as defined in its decision,
where 40 per cent increases were
in 1920, the commission to-
day ordered them made effective as
20 per cent; between other western
group points the commission held
rates shall not exceed us per cent
above the old schedules, and be-
tween points in the mountain-Pa-
cihc group and points in the west.
