THIS IS THE pIcruM OF THE
INTERSTATE COMMERCE
COMMISSION.
I'LL RATES AFFECTED
lNTERMoUNTAiN REGION SHIP.
PERs RELIEVED OF "BAck
HAUL" ExAcTIoNs.

Neutrality-suspicious. were hand
I'd down Wednesday by the Inter
state Commerce Commission. country
wide in importance. They affect
freight rates both class and commod-
ity ON all transcontinental lines oper-
Ating between the Atlantic and Pa
cific oceans. Extensive reductions
were ordered.
The decisions are in what popular
1y are known as the Pacific Coast
cases. The cases were heard last au-
tumn by the commission on its six
weeks trip to the Pacific coast and
intermountain territory and have
been under consideration ever since.
In every instance reductions in the
rates complained of were made and
In some instances they amounted to
nearly fifty per cent. The commits
sion found q remarkable rate situa-
tion existing on the Pacific coast and
aven a more remarkable one in the
fntermountain territory. This is not
ably true of the~rates to and from
Spokane, Wash, and Reno, New.
The Spokane rate case had been be-
fore the commission, in one form or
another. for several years. The ship
pers of that city complained insist
emily of the rates they were charged
on freight classes and commodities,
from eastern points Of origin, be-
cause they were required to pay the
Pacific coast terminal rates plus the
local rates back to Spokane from
those terminals although the freight
was discharged at Spokane by the
railroads on the western trip.
Substantially the same state Of al
fairs existed at Reno and other
points, which had to pay the rates to
San Francisco and the back-haul
local rates from San Francisco or
Sacramento to the point of ultimate
destination. These local rates in
most instances amounted to two
fifths or more of the entire rate from
Eastern points of origin to Pacific
coast terminals.
/ AS noted above, the decisions of
the commission in these cases affect
all class and commodity rates be-
tween eastern points and the far
West.
No complaint was made In any OF
the cases of the rates of the eastern
lines between Atlantic points and
Mississippi river transfers. and all OF
the reductions ordered by the COM
mission affected the rates from Mis-
sissippi river and Missouri river
transfer points to Pacific coast ter
minals and intermountain territorial
points.
