Interstate Commerce Commits
sioners to Hold Important
Conference Thursday.
RENO TARIFF SCHEDULE
CAUSE OF CONTROVERSY
Predicted That Reductions VIII
Be Ordered for Both Nevada
and Sacramento.

WASHINGTON, April ga nota
BILE conference will he held by the
members Of the interstate commerce
commission Thursday and Friday. These
days have, been set aside by the com
mission for the consideration of the Pa.
cific coast eases heard by the commits
sion on its long trip last autumn. The
cases involve not merely freight con
ditions local to the Pacific coast, but
also questions of rates affecting trans
continental traffic in its entirety.
The cases include the rehearing of the
Spokane rate matter, the Portland and
Seattle back khaul cases, tho San Fran,
cisco eases, Involving rates into the in
termountan territory and the Reno
rate case.
The latter is the most important now
before the commission. Reno shippers
have urged the commission TO give them
the same rate on class and commodity
traffic from tho Atlantic seaboard as
now given to Pacific coast terminals.
1t was developed in tho hearing OF
the case that the rate from Atlantic
ports to Sacramento and Pacific coast
terminals was 90 on UESI-cl6S3 1TelgDI
and proportionately less on other classes
and commodities.
Reno's High Rates.
The rate to Reno from the Atlantic
points is the sum Of the Pacific coast
rate plus the local rate from Sacra-
mento to Reno. Tho distance from Sac
ramento to Reno is under 130 miles aud
The back-haul rate is $l.29 on first-class
freight, This makes the rate from the
Atlantic seaboard to Reno $4.29, al
though the freight IS unloaded at Reno
on the west bound haul.
The defense of the railroads is that
Sacramento is water competitive
point. boat line being operated be-
tween San rapcIsco and Sacramento
They hold, therefore, that. although
Sacramento is longer haul they nre
obliged 60 make lower race on account
of the water competition
Will Be Reduced.
II is understood the members Of the
commission are divided on the question
of proper adjustment Of these rates. IT
appears likely that it will be deter
mined to reduce the rates to both Sac
rameuto and Reno, the reduction to
Reno pToportionately greater than 10
Sacramento.
This case in concrete form involves
the question of the long and short haul
which is being considered st present by
congress in the administration railroad
bill.
