: RLSACTTOBA 105 N REVENE Readjustments in Freight Rate Structure Are Discussed. @8y the Associated Press. Preliminary steps looking to re- covery of » substantial portion of the more than $100,000,000 revenue Amer- jcan railroads will lose with the ex- piration of surcharge rates next De- cember 31 are being taken by the carriers. A group representing the roads yes- terday discussed with leading shippers their proposals described as “prac- tically complete” for adjustments in the freight rate structure. Spokesmen for shippers included a committee appointed by the National Industrial Trafic League, a shippers’ organization, and representatives of both the Anthracite and Bituminous Coal Associations, all of whom with- =P=(y held comment after meeting behind closed doors. ‘The surcharges which expire shortly ylelded carriers an additional $100,~ 000,000 last year, and promised more in 1936 on the basis of heavier traffic. The Interstate Commerce Commis- sion declined to make the surcharges permanent, but suggested the carriers g0 through their rate siructures and select items which they felt would bear more tariff. It was these the railroads discussed with shippers yesterday pre- liminary to filing new schedules ot rates with the I. C. C. Unless con- tested either by shippers or the Inter- state Commerce Commission, they would become effective 30 days from the filing date. Roads Plan Readjustment. J. J. Pelley, president of the Associa- tion of American Railroads, said after yesterday's meeting: “As part of the general adjustment, the railroads contemplate an impor- tant step toward simplicily in rates and tariffis by making practically uniform for the entire country the classification of all articles now moving on first, second and third class rates in less than carload lots in each of the three major traffic territories, official, Western and Southern. “This result is to be accomplished in practically all instances, by making the ratings in all territories the same THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €.

This is Jooked upon as the most important single step ever taken toward simplifications and uniformity in the freight rate struc- ture of the country.” —_— T-MEN CO-OPERATIVE SQUAD SLATED LATER Supt. Brown Confers With Treas- ury Representative and Delays Forming Force. Police Chief Ernest W. Brown said late yesterday a new headquarters squad to co-operate with Treasury agents in battling illegal liquor traf- fic will not be formed at present. Maj. Brown discussed the possibility with Warren Heddens, special in- vestigator for the Baltimore district of the Internal Revenue Bureau. Early organization of such a unit is impossible, Brown said afterwards. It one is formed later, it will be an arm of the present vice squad under Lieut. George M. Little, he added.
