N. J. Rupp and P. J. MeKee were 

 at Milwaukee July 11 to appear be-

 mittee and present their arguments in 

 the matter of a petition by the John 

 C. Moninger Co. for fourth class L. C. 

 L. and special class C. L. rating on 

 shipments of greenhouse materials. 

 The present classifications are such as 

 to impose a penalty on shipments of 

 gfreenhouse materials, some of the 

 smaller lots in such shipments taking 

 a rating that gives a too high rating 

 for the entire shipment. The Monin- 

 ger Co. has filed an exhaustive brief 

 and a large amount of evidence, 

 through which it is hoped to secure a 

 change in rating which will result in a 

 considerable reduction in freight rates 

 in this territory. 



E. C. Amling Co. says the shipping 

 demand continues steady, all the cus- 

 tomers being heard from regularly.
