STONE MILLS IN iEFFORT TO GET LOWER FREIGHT ! | Fifty Declared in Danger of Extinction Unless Cut Is Made. Bv Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Oct. 18.— | What is termed a life and death ! struggle for fifty cut stone mills in the Bloomington-Bedford district, employing 3,500 men, closed in Washington today when an interstate commerce commissioner concluded a hearing of evidence on a petition for a reduction of freight rates on cut stone shipped from the I district. The hearing opened Thurs- ! day. Led by the Bedford Stone Club, the fight against the rate* was started in November, 1929, following an increase in the rate to 38 Vs cents per 100 pounds on stone shipped to Kansas City, while the rough stone rate remained at 30% cents. The basis for the rate was fixed in what is known as the Baltimore case in which the charges for freight between Bloomington and Baltimore were placed at the same figure as to Kansas City. It is pointed out in the plea for a reduction that in addition to the higher freight on cut stone, its shipping costs more than for rough, owing to the extra precautions needed in preparing it for transportation. The practice of builders in buying rough stone and having it fabricated at or near the scene of construction, will continue and be expanded, putting the stone mills out of business, unless theTreight rate is reduced, it is declared. Members of a special committee which, has handled the case for the stone mill interests are F. E. Bryan, vice-president Indiana Limestone Company; E. P. Vernia, vice-presi-dent, and C. C. Hines, general solicitor, Monon railroad; Frederick F. Schortemeier, Indiana Limestone company counsel; William L. Taylor, Monon railroad counsel; G. H. Barrett, vice-president, Matthews Bros.
