STONE FREIGHT RATE REDUCTION PETITION FILED Stand of Baltimore Mill Owner Directly Opposed to Hoosier View. sty Tjmra Special A brief has been filed by stone-cut-ting companies in the Baltimore district with the interestate commerce commission at Washington, which presages a fight to the finish on freight rates, involving the future of stone mills in the Indiana field, centered around this city and Bedford. The Indiana cutters have pending before the commission a petition asking that the rates on rough and dressed stone be made more nearly equal, while the brief of the Baltimore industry asks exactly the opposite.

Unless the difference is materially reduced, Indiana mill operators declare they face extermination. In the Baltimore brief, the Indiana petition is cited, and it is declared there is every reason for increasing the 7 cents difference now in existence, and that this should be done by lowering the freight rate on rough stone.
