RATE REDUCTIONS HELD UP.
Commerce Court Sets Aside lnterstat
Commissions Order.

commsres Court Sets Aside interstate
Commissions Order.
Washington, Nov. 10.-Expected re-
duction Of transcontinental railroad
freight rates was held up yesterda!
when the court of commerce granted {
temporary injunction against the ordel
Of the interstate commerce commission
in what are popularity known as th'
Spokane and other Pacific coast points
rate cases. The order was made Jun'
% and was to have become effective
next Wednesday.
The cases involve not only the "bacl
haur' freight rates from Spokane ant
other intermountain points to Pacifi,
coast terminals, but also the applica-
ton Of the long and short haul pro-
vision of the existing law. The ordel
Of the commission, particularly In the
Reno case, laid down the principles t.
be followed.
The effect of the commissions order
was to reduce the freight rates from
Atlantic seaboard points to inter.
Rocky mountain destinations. In the
reduction Of the trans-continenta
rates the commission recognized the
effect of water competition on the Pa
cific coast, but held, substantially, tina,
the rates from the east to cities like
Spokane and Reno should be lower
than the existing rates.
The transcontinental railways ap.
pealed to the commerce court, main.
tanning that the order was practically
confiscatory.
In the opinion of members Of the in
terstate commerce commission, the
most important feature of the injunc-
ton is the COURTS questioning Of the
commissions action respecting the Ions
and short haul provision Of the exist
ing law.
The intimation given by the court is
that it proposes to make an investtga-
ton Of the facts on which the order OF
the commission was based, in order tc
determine for itself a basis for final
order.
