NCREASE FREIGHT RATE OH COAL, I NOT ON LIVESTOCK C. Ruling on Western Freight Rate Case Acts Both Ways. Washington, Aug. 11 The Interstate Commerce Commission today gave its decision in the Western freight rate case allowing advances in bituminous coal, coke, fruit and vegetables, and denying increases in grain, livestock, packing house products, fertilizers1- and broom corn. The decision allows some of the increases asked and denies almost an equal number.

The commission summarized its decision as follows: "Proposed, increased carload rates on grain and grain products considered as one commodity not justified. "Proposed increase from I pounds to 40,000 pounds in the mini mum carload weight of the grain products justified. "Proposed increased carload rates on livestock not justified. "Proposed ihcrefe-sed carload rates on packing house products and fresh meats, except as indicated between points on the Missouri river not justi fied. v- 'Proposed increased carload rates on fertilizer and fertilizer materials not justified 'Proposed increased rates on bitum inous coal, except as to South Dakota points, justified.

"The rates on coke here proposed, which are the same as on coalr justi fied. 'Proposed increased carload rates on brewers' rice and less than carload rates on domestic rice justified. "Proposed increased carload rates on broom corn not justified. i "Proposed increased import rates and proposed increases in carload minima from' gulf ports, justified. "Proposed increased carload rates on fruit and vegetables justified.

"Proposed increased carload rates on hay and straw, -where not to excess pf Class justified. "Proposed increased any quantity rairs on cotton piece goods and proposed increased carload nates from points inj Texas, not justified." The fecieion freight rates mainly west of tha Mississippi and in the southwest. It affects, indirectly, every railroad in the United States and the commission today served notice, of its action upon 2,300 great and small' lines. The. decision denies all the more important increases asked.

The-advances granted are in the Viewpoint of the cornmislson of relatively little -significa'nee. The commission Itself has no final estimate the amount of the increase in dollars and cents. From various estimates of record, maae by witnesses for both sides and.based upon, the higher figures where the estimates disagreed, the announced in the indicates roughly the annual increase in the railroad revenues, had the increases been allowed to go into effect: "Grain and grain products, live stock, 1, 500, 000; packing house products and fresh meats, Coal, $1,226,128, making with other items a total of l.d04,24T. Dissenting reports were filed by Commissioners Daniels arid rHarlah. Differing from the attempt of the Eastern railroads to get a five per cent, increase the Western roads, instead of asking a uniform increase, singled out particular commodities, moving mainly in carloads and proposed specified increases, changes effecting minimum weights, increased charges for special service, and increased rates on a number of miscellaneous They based the claims for additional revenue on the ground of financial need," the downward tendency of their net earnings and because the commodities involved do not bear their" equitable share of the burden.

The state commissions and other bodies denied that the financial condition of the roads warranted' increas-' ed rates, P. OINSPECTORS ADVISE ADDITION TO LOCAL OFFIGE Postmaster Charles F.
