Washington, May 24. Reductions
in freight rates averaging about 10
per cent were ordered today by the
nterstate commerce commission re
sulting from its inquiry into the
general rate structure of the country.
A cut of 14 per cent was fixed in
the eastern territory; thirteen and
one-half percent in western territory
and 12 and one-half per cent in sou
thern and mountain Pacific territory.
All reduction orders are affec
tive July 1 and constitute greater
decrease than had been generally ex
