is AGAIN POSTP ONED

Washington, June 12.-By agree
ment between all parties concerned,
the Interstate commerce commission
has postponed until early next fall the
hearing of the Spokane rate case,
which was to have been held Wednes-
day. The fall hearing will be held
in Spokane. AS clause to the agree
ment, the railroads have agreed to put
into operation by July 1 the "class
rates." which the interstate commerce
commission recently advised as just
rates, leaving all commodity rates at
the present figure until after the hear
ing next fall.
Representative of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce and other
bodies which have filed similar petit
ons to those recently filed by Seattle
and Tacoma, protesting against east
bound and local rates, were present and
urged that all of these cases should be
decided at one time instead of sepa.
rately. It was urged that each petition
revolved around the water competi-
ton" proposition, and that to settle
one before another would give advan-
tage to certain localities while other
cases were being considered. The
commission announced that it would
take this suggestion under considera-
ton
