REPORT OF JURY RAILROADS LIMIT GRAIN RATES CUT Eastern Lines Follow West ern in Holding Reduction to Wheat and Wheat Flour. By the Associated Press. Representative rallroads decided today to limit the freight-rate reduction decided upon re- cently as a farm relief action. to whea and wheat flour, in line with the action of the Western trunk line railroads. This action was announced today to the Interstate Commerce Commission by Robert N. Collyer, chairman of the Eastern Trunk Line Association, after a telephone conversation with New York. The action was decided upon at a meeting in New York between Eastern railway executive and millers. Mr. Collyer told the commission this would make it necessary for the Eastern rallroads to amend the application madc recently for reduced rates on all ex- port grain in the Eastern territory. At a recent meeting in Washington the Eastern carriers agreed upon re- duced rates on all export grain in order to move the surplus crop out of the country before the new crop is har- vested. Western railroads at a later meeting s of Eastern trunk line | declded to reduce rates in their terri- | | tory on wheat and wheat flour. | The action today limits the reduction | of both Eastern and Westcrn railroads | to wheat and wheat flonr. |~ Mr. Collyer appeared before the com- | mission today along with representatives | of other industries, some of whom favor | |and others oppose the rate reduction. | The meeting was called by the Inter- state Commerce Commission in_order | to air the views of both side: so {hat an agreement might be reached as to what should be done [ -2 . | TREASURY HALF HOLIDAY | BEGINS SATURDAY, JUNE 1 the Treasury Mellon saturday._June_1, as Secretary of CHILDREN WHO ARE UNDERWEIGHT P l Used in 184 Hospitals and Institations ‘ the beginning of half hoiidays for the Summer in his department and also authorized treasury workers to receive their semi-menthly pay on May 29, in- stead of May 31.
