[From The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington. Aug 1s-A complaint against prac-
ticany every trunk line in the East has been hied
with the Interstate Commerce Commission by the
Chamber of Commerce Of Billings. Mont. This
conplaint is made on behalf of the Yellowstone
vaI1a,, saction which claims that IL Is being dis
eliminated against by the railroads and that it's
freight rates are excessively high. The complaint
names seventy-three carriers and specifies Denver.
Helena and Salt Lake as the cities which are
obtaining benefits from the roads at the expense
OF the yellowstone section. The rates from New
York and the Atlantic seaboard are especially COM
planned against.
The commission has decided 10 stop at Billings
during it's Western trip. the itinerary OF which
has just been completed. An Investigation of the
charges will be made. with view to bringing the
matter to the attention of the Department Of
Justice
Tho commission will conduct its first hearing on
October 4. at Spokane. 1t will be in the West a
month or six weeks. It will conduct hearings.
aside from Spokane. at Billings. Mont; Portland.
Seattle. Reno and Salt Lake City.
The big question confronting the commission Is
substantially the raised in the Spokane case
This is whether through rates from the East 10
such cities as Spokane. Reno. Salt Lake City and
like interior cities of the far Western region should
not be lower than the rates 10 the Coast cities?
II is the long and short haul question over again.

The Pacific Coast cities hold they are entitled
to the benefits OF water competition. IN the Spo-
kane case the commission gave 10 the racine
Coast cities the benefit Of the idea Of water com
petition. emitting them TO lower rates than
Spokane. and did not go into that question 70 any
extent The commission did decide that as to
certain commodity rates named In the complaint
I'm the Spokane Spokane was entitled to re-
auctions from the East But Spokane has about
thousand FIVE hundred other commodities on
which II wants reductions. and the rates on these
will be brought M before the commission
Reno. Billings. Salt Lake City and other interior
points are complaining that the rates through from
the East high In themselves. and too high
in comparison with the rates 10 the Coast. just as
Spokane contended
In addition 70 this. the Coast cities, such as
Portland. Seattle and others. complaining
that too high local rates being charged by the
railroads when they seek 70 distribute products
into the interior
Chicago. Aug. Is-The Rock Island Railroad. with
seven other Western roads as accomplishments, fled
suit here to-day TO enioin the Interstate Commerce
Commission from enforcing It's rate order OF June
10. This order reduces the through rates from
points east OF the illinois and Indiana line % Des
Moines. Iowa. This is the third attack Of the
Western railroads the commission involving the
order that through interlne freight rates from the
East shall be less than the OF the local rates.
