LIVESTOCK FREIGHT
RATE TO OHIO CUT
Charges From Texas to All Points
in Indiana Held Fair.
BIZ United Press

ny CHiEGU ITC63
WASHINGTON, July 31-The in
terstate commerce commission today
ordered a slight downward revision
of freight rates on carload ship
ments of cattle, calves and sheep
from Fit. Worth, Tex, to Cincinnati,
O., and certain destinations in Ohio.
The commissions order upheld as
reasonable present livestock rates
from Texas to all points in Indiana
and Ohio except Cincinnati.
Commissioners Brainerd, Eastman
and Lewis dissented, holding that
the rates should be further reduced.
Eastman said the report preserved
on livestock the antiquated and
cbSolescent method of constructing
through rates between the west and
the east by combination of the Mis-
sissippi river"
This combination will be very
materially higher in level than the
eastern scale and even than the
western scale" Eastman wrote.
The rate from TT. Worth, Tex, to
Cleveland, O., would be 70 cents
under the western scale rate but
83 cents under the approved combi-
nation rate. The rate to Columbus
would be 66 cents under the western
scale and 70 cents under the ap-
proved rate. The Indianapolis rates.
respectively. are SO and 10 cents and
the Terre Haute rates, 81 and IS
cents.

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass, July 81.
Recognition of Russia, cancella-
ton of war debts and the sue
cess of the next disarmament con-
ference at Geneva are the three
factors most necessary for world
peace, Norman Thomas, direc-
tor of the League for Industrial De-
mocracy. said today in an address
at the Institute Of Politics.
The United States is preventing
the accomplishment of the first two
items, while France is the STUN
bling block in the third, Thomas
said.
A different view of disarmament
was expressed by Frank H. Simonds,
writer on foreign affairs, who said
that with the world in its present
state, disarmament might lead to
armed conflict.

GRAIN FUTURES
IRREGULAR IN
QUIET SESSION
July Options Drop While
Deferred Deliveries
Move Up.
BIZ HAROLD E. RAINVILLE
United Press staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, July 31.-The final
session in July brought irregularity
to the Board of Trade and prices
ran heller SHELTER across the board.
July corn, the obstreperous delivery
that has scarcely moved recently
without leaping several cents at a
time, quietly dropped a minor frac-
ton while the deferred months shed
the weak aspect and advanced.
Wheat was rather dull in SYM
pathy with a slow Liverpool mar
ket, but July spurted upward. The
English market reports cheap Ar
gentine and Russian offerings that
are keeping prices easy there. Oats
held around steady, but had weak
undertone.
