|. c. c. ORDERS
SUSPENSION OF
news. W.RATES
New Tariff Will Not
Go Into Effect On
July s, AS Previous
ly Ordered

The new railroad freight rates for
southwestern territory, ordered into
effect on July 8, by the interstate
commerce commission, were suspend
ed until July IL, by an order issued
BY the commission late Thursday
afternoon.
The suspension applies 10 all rates
both class and commodity, according
20 q telegram received by A. b.
Waldron Of Harlingen, executive gen
eral agent for the Missouri Pacific
Lines.
This is the sixth suspension order
ed by the commission. The rates
we're originally ordered into effect on
December %, 1927. Each suspension
has been followed by an effort to
adjust the rates in dispute, only TO
result in further suspensions.
Railroad and rate men throughout
southwestern territory we're today
decidedly skeptical as TO the new
rates going into effect on July IL
according to kilograms received BY
shippers and rate men IN Browns
Vile. Representatives of carriers as
such an "inextricable tangle" that
any effort to work out adjustments
u almost useless.
Reports from Washington Friday
morning indicated that the interstate
commerce commission IS deluged with
protests relative to alleged inequali-
ties in the new rates. Fruit interests
az the Lower Rio Grande Valley and
Arkansas entered emphatic protests
against heavy increases, and eastern
manufacturers, who claimed their IN
terests were adversely affected by
the rates, which they charge are dis
criminatory against various classes
of merchandise, were equally en-
phatic in their protests.
The Lower Rio Grande Valley vege-
table interests would be benefited 20
the extent Of at least 81 900, 900 annu-
ally by the new rates, according to
conservative estimates, and shippers
are expressing confidence that the
commission will get the rates and IN
affect before the next shipping sea
son.
A similar situation confronted the
commission in connection with the
southeastern rates, which were placed
in effect January 10, 1875, despite
the vigorous protests of shippers ad-
versely affected. Since that time the
southeastern rates have been adjust
ed as inequalities appeared, and the
territory is deriving considerable
benefit.
A telegram received Friday morn
ing by j. II. Blanton, Brownville rate
man, from Horace Booth, general
traffic manager Of the Missouri Pa
cific, stated that the present rates or
citrus fruit viii be continued. The
Southern Pacific and Missouri Pacific
have both indicated they will joir
with the Valley fruit interests in pro-
testing rates that will give Florida
an advantage. and representatives Of
these carriers are expected in the
Valley in a few days 10 confer with
fruit growers and shippers relative "a
the rate situation.
