Properly Based Through Rates Urged 



The Southern IlariUvocid TratHc .\ssociation has addressed a letter to the 

 publishing agents of the carriers in Southeastern. Southwestern and Mi.s- 

 sissii)pi Valley territories requesting establishment of through rates on 

 forest products on the proper bases between imp^irtant points in these 

 territories and consuming ilestinations to he made effective before the 

 combination tariff is withdrawn. 



The a.ssociation also plans to submit additional requests to these pub- 

 lisliiug agents covering movements from still other points. It has filwl a 

 copy of the foregoing communication with the Interstate Commerce Com- 

 mission and it proposes to take a similar course in connection with this 

 subject in order that the proper foundation may lie laid for apiilication 

 for susi)ension of the cancellation order withdrawing these tariff.s at the 

 date indicated. The association does not believe that the carriers can 

 publish through rates between all points affected within the thne alli>wed 

 and it is for this reason that it is guarding against cancellation of the 

 contbiiiation tariffs too soon.
