By the Associated Press. OMAHA, Nebr., December 25.—Re- vision of the railroad rate structure of the Middle West and Far West looms as the Interstate Commerce Commission and State public utility bodies prepare for hearings on the Western trunkline class rate situation, the first of which will be held here | January 11 before the Interstate Commerce Commission examiners. The- largest co-operative case ever undertaken jointly by the Interstate Commerce Commission and State commissions, its discussion is ex- pected to affect business of all kinds located in this region, in the opinion of U. G. Powell, rata expert of the Nebraska Rallway Commission and a member of the rate committee of the National Association of Public Utility Commissions. The Western trunk line territory has been outlined by the National Commission to include Tilinois, Wis- consin, the upper peninsula of Michi- gan, Missourl (north of the Missour{ River), lowa, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Colorado (east- of a line Trinidad to Pusblo, Denver to Cheyenne) and that portion of eastern ‘Wyoming Casper to Sheridan. tions. .
