GENERAL REDUCTION IN
RATES TO BORDER POINTS
PROPOSED FOR DECEMBER

A general rate reduction to all border
points, to become effective December D,
providing the Interstate Commerce Com
mission approves the tariffs, has been
announced by the general traffic COM
mittee of the Southwestern lines. The
reductions will be made concurrently
with similar reductions on the Mexican
National Lines. announcement Of which
was made several days ago.
These reductions which range from 90
to over 60 per cent on present rates will
be of special interest to shippers in the
Mexico business. and may mean an inn
mediate revival of the trade with nor
thern Mexico. which has shown a steady
decrease during recent years as a result

COMMIT TEE TO

Meeting Held Today to Raise
Necessary Funds to Garry
on Fight in Freight Differ

The committee appointed at the last
meeting Of the Valley Chamber OF Com
merce. consisting of l.. X. Brooks OF
Harlingen, j. r. Blanton of Brownsville.
! and a San Benito member to be select
ed by the committeeman appointed. will
meet today at the office Of j. F. Blanton
for the purpose of devising means 10
raise the $4,000 necessary TO carry on
the fight for reduction in the freight
diffcrential as recommended by Examin-
er Mackley. upon which hearing before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
will soon be held in Washington.
There is practically no doubt that
some Of the railroads will fight some OF
the reductions recommended by Examn-
er Mackley," Mr.. Blanton stated. land

the situation. Attorney Fullbright Of
fered TO fight the case through 10 the

has only received $500, an amount in
sufficient to meet his personal expenses
in securing data and making trips TO
Washington and other points, and il il
the Valleys duty 10 give him the means
10 finish the fight he has practically
won. The reductions recommended in
the examiners report. if adopted by the
Interstate Commerce Commission. will
mean a tremendous saving to every indi-
vidual in the Valley. and the Valley can
not afford TO lie down when the battle
Is practically won. The remaining
$4,000 must be raised or guaranteed. and
the committee will try to devise some
means of raising the fund so that every
community in the Valley will have an
equitable quota.
The general opinion expressed by
those in close touch with the rate stua-
tion is that the railroad companies will
not make an effort to retain the present
differential, but will attempt 10 secure
modification Of some OF the recon-
mendations presented by Examiner
Mackley.
The differential applies equally to
both class aud commodity rates. and the
report of Examiner Mackley recon-
mends a reduction in the differcntial on
commodities in practically the same
proportion as the present difference be-
tween class and commodity rates. The
class rates on wrought iron pipe from

modify q cents.
The report also recommends that the
diferential on outgoing shipments OF
cabbage be reduced from cents to 3 l-2
which l. now the diirerential on mixed
carloads Of vegetables. This reduction
would mean a saving of approximately
Sl.2O per ton to the cabbage growers OF

The railroad companies frankly admit
that the reduction is due to the compe-
tition of steamship companies. In n
letter sent out in connection with their
annoupcement Of the proposed reduc-
tion. they state:
''ln April of this year conference
was held in our office. at which time
traffic officers of the Mexican-American
border lines and traffic officers, exec
utives Of the National Railway lines Of
Mexico were present. Prior TO this con-
ference, il became apparent TO the lines
serving Rio Grande crossings, "a we'll as
the National Railway lines, that some
readjustment in class and commodity
rates from a very large section of the
United States TO such points as San Luis
Potosi. Aguascalientes. Mexico City and
Pachuca was necessary. For period Of
more than a year traffic through the
Rio Grande crossings had been steadily
decreasing. and Investigation had devel-
oped that a very large portion of freight
traffic from the United Statea was nov
ing into the republic Of McxicJ via water
roles through Tampico and Vera ruz.
principally through the latter port. Af-
ter considerable discussion. il was agreed
that the American lines should immedi-
atcly begin a check TO determine what
reductions were necessary TO bring
about the return OF the business for

crossings. The National Railway lines
