HEARINGS ARE SET
July Is and August 81 Named
for /. C. C. Consideration
Of Roads Pleas.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Ths Interstate Commerce Commission
today moved toward speedy settlement
OF the railroad freight rate situation.
1t set for hearing July Is and August
81 at Washington the proposed IS per
cent increase asked by rail and water
lines.
At the same time it ordered into eff
feet not later thsn December 3, re-
vised class rats in Eastern and Western
trunk line territories These rates,
while providing reductions in many in
stances, are estimated offlcially to pro-
vide a net increase N revenue of from
$50 100000 to $70,000,0 900 annually.
Other Hearings Scheduled.
The commission elso announced in
connection with the Is per cent increase
case that hearings would be held in
ether sections Of the country at dates
to be set later. The first Washington
hearing will be confined to testimony
for the railroads. That Of August 81
will be for cross-examination and oppo-
Sition evidence.
Opponents were asked to file notice
of their opposition by July 20 and pre-
q minimum.
The Eastern and Western trunk line
class rates to become effective Decem-
Der reduce rates in the lower class
levels, particularly on farm products,
but generally increase rates in the
higher classiflcations.
The Eastern class rate investigation
was started May IS, 1924, and the
Western case after passage of the Hoch-
Smith resolution in 1925. The resolu-
ton required the commission to make
a study of all freight rates, with special
relation to farm products.
Refused Increases.
The commission on May IS, 1890,
issued an order for revision of Eastern
class rates. Both railroads and ship
pers filed objections. and the case was
reconsidered On January Is last the
commission issued a supplemental opin-
ion meeting some of the objections, but
refusing the railroads plea for an in
crease in fifth and sixth class rates.
The Western decision handed down
May 6, 1890, did not meet the ideas OF
either railroads or shippers and the
commission January rs last made some
revisions. The rates In both territories
are based on mileage.
The commission estimated officially
at the time 1t made its Western trunk
line findings that despite reductions on
farm products, revenues of the West
ern roads would be increased approx
mately 100000 annually. In the
Eastern zone it was estimated that
maximum increase in revenue would
amount to from 100000 900 to $780,
00O, 900 a year.
