sranted the trans-continental rail-
roads vitol relief by permitting then
to establish certain commodity rates

The explanation of order says tht

rates to the Pacific to compete with

To meet new traffic conditions
which have arisen with the opening Of

This explanation of the order was
made at the commissions headquar

Under the original order in the
inter.mountain case, carriers were re
quired, from the Missouri river. west
ward, not to charge more to an inter
mountain point than to a Pacific ter
minal. .gs
East Of the river the stringency Of
the rule was somewhat abated:
THE shrinkage Of rates via the
canal from New York to San Francis

in serious straits. On certain heavy
commodities, large!;; moving by wat
er, if the carriers reduced their rates
to the Pacific to compete with the
lowered water rates, a serious shrink
age in through earnings was newt
able. In addition to this loss CT

have had to take a double loss on rev
enue to the inter.mountain points
first, because the inter.mountain rate:
would have to be lowered, and sec
ond, because the percentages over thu
terminal rates would have been cal
culated on a lower base.
: Had no additional relief been at
forded there vas grave reason tt
think, that the Atlantic seaboard il
the future would have supplied b!
