We further find that the proportional rates from Missouri River cities to Chicago are not unreasonable, but that the combination through rates from Missouri River cities to the destinations mentioned in the next preceding paragraph are, and for the future will be, unreasonable to the extent that the factors from Chicago exceed proportionals made 1.5 cents lower than those proposed by defendants and named in the appendix.

We further find that on traffic from Minneapolis-Duluth to destinations in the Mackinaw City, Provemont, Traverse City, Frankfort, Ludington, Reed City, Grand Rapids, Bay City, Pontiac, and Port Huron groups the proportionals from Chicago are, and for the future will be, unreasonable to the extent that they exceed those proposed by defendants and named in the appendix.

We further find that the proportional rates from Missouri River cities to Chicago are not unreasonable, but that the combination through rates are, and for the future will be, unreasonable to the extent that the factors from Chicago to the destinations in the groups named in the next preceding paragraph exceed those proposed by defendants and shown in the appendix.

We further find that, on traffic from Minneapolis-Duluth to destinations in the Jeffersonville, Evansville, Louisville, and Terre Haute groups, the proportionals from Chicago are, and for the future will be, unreasonable to the extent that they exceed proportionals made 1.5 cents higher than those proposed by defendants and shown in the appendix.

We further find that the proportionals from the Missouri River cities to Chicago are not unreasonable, but that the combination through rates are, and for the future will be, unreasonable to the extent that the factors from Chicago and related gateways to the destinations in the groups named in the next preceding paragraph exceed those proposed by defendants and named in the appendix. Establishment of rates on these bases will remove the undue preference and undue prejudice alleged.

These findings contemplate continuance of the existing relations in rates from other points in the so-called trans-Mississippi and northwestern territories and from Sioux City, including relations between Chicago, Peoria, and St. Louis.

An appropriate order will be entered.

COMMISSIONER CASKIE concurs in the results.
