re Hear.
Frcm a BtafV Correspondent.
LINCOLN. May 12.-Th state rsllway
commission on Wednesday began hearing
railroad men In regard to a new freight
classification. The commission last year
refused to adopt western classification No.
4fi and for nearly a year N a. U la the clas
sification that has been In force. The
numerous changes In articles from one
class to another and the changes In the
car load weights made by the proposed
classification No. 48 caused the commis
sion to Issue an order to retain No. 44 in
force until a new one can bo agreed upon.
The commission desires to follow the ex
ample of the railway commissions of other
states and make one of Its own. The pres
ent fleering Is for that purpose. Clarifi
cation No. 44 Is used as a basis by the com
mission In adopting one of Its own.
F. O. Becker of Chicago, chairman of the
committee of railroad ratemakers that
promulgated classification No. 4ft, appeared
before the commission to explain the
commission to dsby2roa hafhDt hrdlu up
changes made by No. 46. He gave a de
tailed account of the crmnges that result
In a decrease In rates.
Colonel Spens of the Burlington freight
department suggested at the opening that
the oorwlsslon might confine its hearing
only to changw Against which shippers
have protested. No sTrVer were present
when Mr. Boons surveyed the room, but
Chairman Clarke and Commissioner Wln-
nett both declined to take his suggestion
that changes against which no roteets were
filed might be considered satisfactory to
the shippers. The commission stated that
It doplred to act upon Its own Initiative In
the matter of classification, but in fact It
had received many protests by mall and In
cflch case the commission had said it would
consider the protests.
Many Oars Pat la.
Mr. Becker told In a general way of the
changes In the classification No. 46 as com
pared with No. 44. The new Items Inserted
are SRI In number, 47 Items are eliminated.
45 classification ratings are advanced, 53
are reduced, 902 minimum car load weights
are advanced and 17 reduced.
