W C Brown Answers Shippers Protest and Will Re employ Labor
Senior Vice President W C Brown of the New York Central Railroad explained the proposed ten percent freight-rate rise to shippers in Chicago, arguing the small increase would be broadly distributed and benefit railroads, not burden consumers. He defended the plan against critics like Douglass Dallam and urged a commission review while noting the Inter State Commerce Commission would be the final arbiter.

Shippers Fight Tessas Tariff Clash In Chicago Turmoil
A New York Times report from Chicago details a confrontation between railroads and manufacturers as the Inter-State Commerce Commission receives the Texas Tariff I. F. F. filed by the Southwestern Freight Association. The tariff raises joint Texas freight rates by about seven percent and prompts the Illinois Manufacturers' Association to mobilize, listing a 14 member committee to lead the campaign with figures from Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati and beyond. The association frames the effort as a fight to prevent rate increases and plans meetings starting July 24 to organize countermeasures against railroads’ moves.

The Public Service Commission approved a one year modification of the Central Crosstown Railroad lease to the Metropolitan. The change drops the 15 percent stock interest while preserving fixed charges and reserves court appeal rights.

Customs Rulings Favor Lower Tariff on Metal Stands
The Board of United States General Appraisers ruled that ornamental metal stands made to hold safety matches do not fall under smokers articles in the Dingley tariff. Jordan Marsh Co. of Boston argued against 60 percent duty, seeking 43 percent under metal manufactures. The board found the stands not shown to be used chiefly by smokers and ordered classification at the lower rate. It also upheld relief for C H Wyman & Co of St Louis from additional duty due to clerical invoice errors on steel wire merchandise.
