Southwest Unreasonable,

Rates of newsprint, wall paper and

and bag paper from manufacturing
points in Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Michigan to destinations west and
southwest and to general localities in
che Mississippi valley were held un-
reasonable and unduly prejudicial as
between cities concerned, today by the

the same decision rates from certain
other points in Indiana, Illinois and
Kansas to Oklahoma City and Okmul-
gee, Okla, and Wichita, Kan, also
were held unreasonable.
The commission after combining a
number of complaints objecting to
the particular rates held today that
the entire structure Of freight rates
on the particular types of paper MEN
toned in the territory concerned
should be modified. After laying down
the general principles which 1t was
held should govern the manufacture
of a new rate structure, the commits
sion gave the railroads permission to
maintain present charges until June
1, 1922, but to have in readiness on or
before that time q new schedule
the commission will allow to go into
effect If IT is found satisfactory and
approved.
