Washington, Jan. 1—The proposed new freight rate classification known as “Western Classification No. 51,” regula- tions on railroads not only west and south of Chicago, but throughout the country, remains under suspension "by the interstate commerce commission, according to the terms of a report of its investigation. The construction of “Classification No. 51” was an effort on the part of the Western roads to comply with the commission’s desire to secure uni- formity of freight classification. The commission's inquiry disclosed the fact that the new classification, while it reduced rates in about one- were made. increased them in the other half, the resultant level of rates being somewhat higher than at pres- ent. Hundreds of changes in the classifi- cation are suggested by the commis- ity of classification and to preserve the present level of rates.
