PAGE EIGHT RATLMEN WANT HIGHER RATES ‘TN NORTHWEST Petition Is Filed by Railroad Head With Interstate Com- merce Commission N. D., Sept. oH roads throughout the north- Sates section of the United States have filed a petition with the inter- state commerce commission, which, if granted, would place in issue practically all commodity rates in this territory E. Williams, traf- fic commissioner for the local cham- oer of commerce announced today. In the petition, a copy of which was sent to Mr. Williams, the rail-/ roads mainiain that earnings i. the northwest territory were too low and asked permission to file in- creased tariffs by blanket supple- | ments to the present tariffs. This is the second attack upon the freight rate structure of this territory made recently by the rail- roads. The first sign of opposition concerned their condemnation of class rates in the western trunk line territory in general. This case is still under investigation by the rail- road commission. ay In commenting on the petition re- ceived today, Mr. Williams declared it. one of the most important rate actions taken by carriers since they were granted a general 35 per cent increase in 1920.
