Western Freight Rate Case Decided On Wednesday.

The interstate commerce commission at Washington Wednesday gave its decision in the western freight case, allowing advances in bituminout coal, coke, fruit and vegetables, and denying increases in grain, live stock, packing house products, fertilizers and broomcorn. The decision allows some of the increases asked and denies almost an equal number.
