Provision for Avoiding Discrimina.
ton Is Made.

Proposing a plan for revising all
interstate class rates within south
ern territory, a general plan for rate
between it and official classification
territory was recommended yesterday
to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion by Commissioner Eastman in a
report covering the commissioners
southern class rate Investigation. The
plan suggested the basing of inter-
state class rate applications on a
single distance scale. Recognition
was given to certain broad differences
in transportation conditions.
The commissioner explained that it
had been the endeavor to construct
the proposed distance scale in such
sonably be- used. as a guide in re-
vision of intrastate rates and for the
purpose OF bringing about harmony
between these and interstate rates
with southern territory.
BeneAts Are Cited.
Mr.. Eastman suggested that his pro-
posal would work in such way that
t Will afford a. just and reasonable
'asis for the elimination of special
otdIS CAdSSlHCdlIOuS, less tudI car
load exceptions to the southern classi-
fication, and many less than carload
commodity rates.
I'm the case Of the interterritorial
rates." the report went on, provision
has been made for the alternative ap-
plication of rates made SO 1-3 Per
cent OF the gateway combination of
frst-class rates, where that basis
would be lower than the distance
scale basis, in order that communities
IN southern border territory may not

comparison with the gateway points.
Mr.. Eastman also suggested that in
event the commission adopted the
proposed readjustment, fourth section
relief should be granted to weak lines
or short lines upon, the ground of
financial disability and "to all lines
upon the ground of actual or con-
structive circuity,"- such relief to be
limited to lines not excessively cir
