(By a Staff Correspondent)
Washington, July 9. (Special
Telegram.) ' The Hastings-Grand
Island equitable rate case Which was
heard .by Traffic Manager Chambers
of the railroad administration June
11, the data and arguments being
submitted by W. H. Young and E.
J. McVann, has been practically de
cided against the cities seeking to
have the rates equalized, according
to a letter received by Congressman
Andrews from Walter D. Hines,
the director general of railroads. In
his letter to Mr. Andrews, Mr.
Hines says:
"Most of the rates in question as
well as other rates in surrounding
territory have at some time or other
been reviewed by the Interstate
Commerce commission. The re
quest of the Grand Island and Hast
ings shippers affect many interior
points in Nebraska and also other
states west of the Missouri river.
The Missouri river cities are also
interested in this matter and some
of these cities have asked for an op
portunity to be heard before final
disposition is made of the matter.
"It has been concluded that the
whole rate fabric involved had bet
ter not,' under the circumstances,
be altered without reference to the
Interstate Commerce commission,
but the division of traffic now has
under discussion with E. J. McVann.
the possibility of readjusting some
of the commodity rates. Mr. Mc
Vann is in Communication with the
division of traffic and a decision in
this matter will be reached within
the very near future."
