RATES ARE RAISED IN NEW CLASSIFICATION Interstate Commission Suspends Western Schedule. Washington, Jan. 1—The proposed new freight rate classification known as “Western Classification No. 51,” (i directly affecting rates and 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 cla: ation, while it reduced rates in about one- half of the instances where changes 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- sion designed to obtain more uniform- the present level of rates.
