SHIPPERS LOSE JHflR FIGHT Hammond Business Men Not Interested in Railway Bate Question. The increase of $6 to $9 a car for a minimum of 40,000 pounds went into ! effect Tuesday, Aug. 1 on all of the railroads in the Calumet region. The increase carries with it reciprocal ad vantages which make It desirable to the average shipper and all opposition to the increase has subsided. The increase of from 7 H to 104 cents per hundred on less than car lots also went Into effect and the report that this Increase had been withdrawn is denied at the freight offices who have received no notice of the with drawal. It is this latter increase that will hit the small shipper in the various cities of the Calumet region. A meeting of the Hammond Business Men's associa tion was called for the purpose of protesting against the increase but no one attended the meeting.
