RITE HEARINGS RAW EXPERT KtfTXEY VUllfKB OP MATTERS BEING HEARI) AT WASHINGTON. Pierre, Jan. 28.—There is an av erage daily attendance of more than 200 persons at the general rate hear ings being conducted before the in terstate commerce commission at Washington, writes D. L. Kelley, rate expert for the South Dakota railroad commission, who is one of the three from this state represent ing South Dakota interests. On Jan. 18 and 19, Mr. Kelley says, evidence was submitted by va**' ious states tending to show the nec essity for reducing rates on coal, reticular atteniton was directed to condition of agricultural inter- in South Dakota and other west ern states and to the practice of burning corn in leu of coal, while many nations are in dire need of food. In the opinion of Mr. Kelley, it is likely that the interstate com mission will withdraw at least a part of the 35 per cent increase on coal authorized in August, 1920. South Dakota recommended that a maxi mum increase of not more than 30 per cent a ton be allowed instead of the straight 35 per cent increase. Tuesday and Wednesday of this week the federal commission listen ed to evidence designed to show the necessity for sweeping reductions on eand and gravel brick, lime, ce ment and so. forth In this connec tion South Dakota recommended that all or practically *11 of the 35 per cent increase imposed on inter state rates in August. 1920. be re moved, for the reason that present high rates are restricting various improvement works and building op erations. The question of lumber rates is scheduled for argument. Mr. Kelley and his associates, R. L. Bitney, statistician for the South Dakota board, and Dawes Brishfne, a mem ber of the commission, planned so troduce evidence to show the nec essity for substantial reductions to South Dakota points from, various sources of supply, particularly from Pacific coast mills. Their testi mony is intended to point out that owing to high transportation rates now in effect, the value of lumber at stations in this state is so high that it practically curtails ocnsruc tion work or improvements by farm ers and others. During February the rates on many commodities will be consider ed, Mr. Kellogg writes, Including agricultural products, livestock, fruits, vegetables, dairy products, wholesale groceries and many oth ers.
