tion-North Dakota and

Washington, Nov. S2l--A positive or.
der was issued by the Interstate Com.
merce Commission today to put the
approximately is per cent decrease in
hay and grain rates into effect on or
before next December 27.
The order follows, up the decisions.
given out Octoberl2Q by the commits
sion which declared grain and hay
rates from the Mississippi Valley to
the Pacific Coast unreasonably high
but which did not carry compulsory
orders. The October decision in
structed the railroad to make the re-.
auction by November 20 which was
not done because the railroads opened
negotiations with the commission
suggesting that ten per cent de-
crease in freight rates on all agricul-
tural products be substituted for the
larger decrease on grain products ana
hay alone. a&.e f.
The commission, however, by the
order issued today disregarded the
compromise proposed by the railroads
and makes the larger decreases on
hay and grain mandatory upon the
roads. au H...
Specific and Definite
The order issued today made spe-
cific and definite the hay and grain
reduction. ji
The original decision said railroads
should reduce the rate on the pnoduc;s
concerned by one-half of the increase
given in 1920. The commission today
ordered hay and grain rates between
pointy In Mountain Pacific territory AZ
not more than 12.5 per cent above the
rates in effect before the l92o IN
crease.
Between points in the western group
as defined in it's decision where ~ per
cent increases were allowed in l91o
the commission today ordered then!
made effective at 20 per cent; between
other western group points the com
! mission held rates should not exceeo
i17.5 per cent above the old schedule.
