Spokane were built at greater ex-
pense. and are operated at greater
expense. than thd rest of the lines,
and yet in the long haul TO the Pc

obliged TO meet water competition.
The contention made by the Spokane
merchants that they are met with
compotition from the Pacific coast ter
mfnals is not Sustained, as Judge
Sawyers findings set forth that the
Spokane merchants receive by the
carload and pay the carload rates.
shipments from Pacific coast termi-
nails to Spokane would be at a rate far
less than carloads, which is much
higher and would preclude an equality
In competition.
