The board did not indicate whether it would allow the railways to increase the competitive rates before a decision is rendered on the railway application to increase freight rates generally by 30 pier cent. Final argument on the application will be heard when the hearings reconvene next month. The competitive rate increases were scheduled to go into effect Nov. 1. ‘They were permitted under present railway regulations when prices controls were lifted last month. Counsel for seven of the nine Provinces, already opposing the lPillicatioi-i for the general in- crease had opposed the sudden iri- creaso in competitive rates as throwing the whole hearing out of killer. ‘ The increases would have applied only to competitive rates-those which have been depressed ‘to meet competition from trucking and Shllpping lines. 0f Great Importance OTTAWA, Oct. 17 —(CP)--Rand H.
