one Of the best bali teams in the Philip

officers, who earned their spurs with the
West Point Military Academy team,
and several privates who are thoroughly

According to w. Tin Chong, the ALI
Chinese expected to play at least five
games in Manila, meeting the All!
Army, Nationals, Manilas and Customs
of the regular league and picked team.
What is considered the best team in
the Philippines at the present time is
the Nationals, who up to March "a had
won eighteen and lost eight games in
the race for the pennant. The Manilas
are another fast team and II the Homo

i Rate War Revived

A spirited struggle, in which the

Panama Canal has been in progress be-
fore the INTERSTATE commerce commits

proceedings before the interstate, com.
merce commission have dragged mo.

floor hall, where the commissioners
listen to formal arguments. 80
The long and short haul clause Of the
interstate commerce law Is at issue ID
the contest, Inter-mountain communi,
ties are complaining because the com
mission has not enforced this long and
short haul clause more literally, and
are threatening to take the ease to
congress at it's next session and to at,
tempt an iron.clad amendment that
would preclude any discretion on the
part of the interstate commerce com.
mission.
Basic Issue Is Old a..
The basic controversy in these eases
is an old one. 1t was visualized en-
phatically some years ago in Sthe So
called Spokane cases, the principle In
which affected communities more or
less distant from the Pacific Coast, but,
generally speaking, within the inter.
mountain State region. Not only spo.
kane, but Sacramento, California, Reno
aud other Nevada points and points
in Arizona were affected. Originally
the trans-eOntinental railroads fixed
their freight rates from the East to
these inter-mountain points by charging
the rate to Seattle, San Francisco or
Los Angeles, as the case might be,
plus the rate from the Pacific terminals
back TO the inter-mountain country.
For instance, a carload Of iron pipe
from Chicago to Reno or Sacramento
would proceed direct to its destination
but the freight would be figured as
though the ear were hauled through,
Reno or Sacramento TO San Francisco
and from there hauled back. That
practise was modified materially by
the interstate commerce commission,

fought through the commerce court,
now defunct, and through the United
States supreme court, the railroads con-
testing at every possible point. ~
Railroads for High Rates
Now the railroads, feeling competi'
ton from the. Panama Canal as to traf'
fc to Pacific Coast terminals, want TO
keep the rates from eastern points to
the 'inter.mountain points just as high
as possible, but would lower the rates
from these water terminals on the Pa
ciHc Coast to the inter-mountain points.
This would enable them to handle traf.
6c that has come through the canal
and is destined for inland points. 1t
makes a pretty contest, that demon
strates how the canal is changing con-
ditions in the transportation world.
