INTERMOUNTAIN RATE
 CASE IS RE0pENED BY
 FEDERAL COMMISSION
Famous Rate Case, Decided Several Years Ago and Talk en to Supreme Court Will Again Be Threshed Out.
(sy Review Leased Wire ]

WASHINGTON, April 3.-The eel ebrated intermountain rate case, be gun in 1911 and disposed of three years later in the supreme court, was reopened today by the interstate com merce commission on petition of the Spokane Merchants Association and the Nevada Railroad Commission. Hearing will begin here April 24, and a decision will be rendered as speed fly as possible.
 The case involves the railroads right to charge higher rates on a wide range of commodities, including many staples, from Atlantic coast cities to points west of Denver than are charg- ed on the through haul from coast to coast Pacific coast points. now en- toying low through rates to the dis advantage, it is claimed. of inter mediate points between Denver and the Pacific, are San Francisco. Seat tie. Portland, Vancouver and San Pedro. the port for Los Angeles.
 Radical changes in transportation conditions, due mainly to the war in Europe and the closing of the Panama Canal by slides, virtually have elimin- ated competition between transcOn- tinental railways and steamship lines. the petitioners assert. so that there is no longer any justification for dis criminating partly against interior points on the plea that such compe- tition has to be met. The interstate commerce commission already has conducted a preliminary investigation of these claims and its results are said to have shown there was some ground for the contention.
 In reopening the case the commis sion decided. of it's own initiative. to reopen rate decisions on dried fruits, asphalt. canned goods, barley. beans and other commodities shipped iron, Pacific coast points to Atlantic coast cities by way of Galveston and other

gulf ports.
 Thus the transcontinental rates on the chief commodities moved both east and west will come before the commission at one time for review.
 The commissions 1911 order estab- lished the present rates in the inter mountain cases which set aside by the now defunct commerce court, which held that the commission had no authority to issue blanket" or zone orders but could act only in regard to the reasonableness or un- reasonableness of specific rates in ap- plying the long and short haul clauses of the law. In 1914 the supreme court overturned the commerce court ruling and held that the commission had act ed within it's power. and ordered sew enteen railroads to- restore shippers millions of dollars in reparation on shipments made during .he litigation.

 Representative of both packers and growers were present but the only speakers today were Mr. Fischer and members of the committee. Ii probably will be several days before the packers have an opportunity to present their side oi the case.
 Representative Borland, Doolittle oi Kansas. Steele of Iowa, Kent of Cal ifornia, and Mir. Fischer spoke adyo eating an inquiry and contending that concrete evidence of the absence ol pafkers' combination could De present ed The general sentiment favored brbadening the scope of the Borland resolution.
