Howat says the coal operators OF

Rates VIII. BE Increased on Kansas
on August ~
Washington, July 16.-Railroad
freight rates and passenger fares
within the state of Kansas were or
dered yesterday by the interstate
commerce commission to be increas-
ed by August "a to the level in ef-
feet In interstate commerce. Petro-
leum and its products were exempted
from the increase.
The present 20 per cent differential
between passenger fares within the
state and those on interstate traffic
gives an advantage to localities and
business in Kansas and to persons
who travel to and from points with
in the state, the commission said.
Shippers in cities on the west bank
on the Missouri river, in Kansas, have
been accorded a preference by the
refusal of the court Of industrial rela-
tions Of Kansas to grant freight rate
increases asked by the carriers, the
commission said, adding that present
rates constitute an unjust discrim-
inatioa against interstate COM
merce."
