Claim Tariff Favors Spokane.

Representatives of every Pacific coast
city and Of practically every intermoun-
tain section from Montana to Mexico
were before the commission today The
question up was that of the proposed
rates to intermountain territory and the
coast under the fourth section of the
short-haul clause. Present Appearances
arc that Spokane alone Is satisfied with
the schedules fixed, and Spokane Is
asking for further concessions. Shippers
representativ allegc that the Northern
railroads have prepared a tariff which
on its face shows it was intended sole
ly to favor Spokane.
