BUILEING MATERIALS stating the action, if taken, would be protested by Western lumber shippers and suspended by the Commission, thus causing a probable delay r,vith great expense and without advantage.

Because of the disagreement as to the method of complying with the order the Commission was petitioned to grant an extension of the effective date. This was secured and the carriers are required, under the new order, to comply on or before October 14, 1932.

After the order of postponement was secured, executive officers of the Western and Eastern carriers met to harmonize viervpoints. Information received by the West Coast Lumbermen's Association is that the Eastern lines have, with reservations, decided to concur in reductions in compliance with the Commission's order, but indicate great dissatisfaction and state they intend to ask the Commission to re-open the case with a view to modification of the requirement that the rates to points east of the trllinoisIndiana line definitely be fixed in relationship to the Chicago group rates. These roads are apparently fearful the Chicago group rates will be reduced in the near future in response to the claims of Western lumbermen that rail rates into the area are more than the industry can bear or pay. If the relationship is maintained as ruled by the Commission, the effect of rate reductions to the Chicago group in the future would be also to reduce rates to points east of the Illinois-Indiana line on the relationship established by the Commission in this original order.

Iio advice has yet been received as to the effective date of the proposed reductions to points east of Chicago and St. Louis.
