The resolu- tion required the commission to make a study of all freight rates, with special 1:lation to farm products. Refused Increases. ‘The commission on May 13, 1930, issued an order for revision of Eastern rates. Both railroads and ship- pers filed objections, and the case was reconsidered. On January 13 last the commission issued a supplemental opin- fon meeting some of the objections, but refusing the railroads’ plea for an in- crease in fifth and sixth class rates. ‘The Western decision handed down May 6, 1930, did not meet the ideas of either railroads or shippers and the commission January 26 last made some | revisions. The rates in both territcries are based on mileage.
