Interstate Commerce Com
mission Decides TO Re-
view Its Findings.
HEARING FIXED
FOR APRIL "a
Coast-to.Coast Freight Charges
Lower than Those from the
Atlantic to Nevada.

Washington. April 1.-The celebrated
Intermountain rate case, begun in
1911 and disposed of three years liter
in the Supreme Court, was reopened
to-day by the Interstate Commerce
Commission OF the petition OF the Spo-
kane Merchants Association and the
Nevada Railroad Commission. Hear
ings will begin here on April "a, and
a decision will be rendered as speedily
as possible.
The case involves the railroads
right 70 charge rates on a wide range
OF commodities from Atlantic coast
cities TO points west Of Denver higher
than those charged on through-haul
traffic from coast to coast.
Radical changes in transportation
conditions, due mainly 20 the war in
Europe and the closing Of the Panama
Canal by slides. virtually have elm
mated competition between transcon-
tinental railroads and steamship lines,
the petitioners assert. so that there
is no longer any justification for dis
eliminating against interior points on
the plea that such competition has to
be met.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has already conducted a prellm-
mary Investigation of this claim. and
its results are said 70 have shown
there was some ground for the con-
tention. The chief claims investigated
were:
That traffic betwce. the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts by way OF the
parama Canal has ceased for
8 ~ elA Of
the canal. and that when II is re-
stmcd the number Of vessels en-
gaged will be greatly reduced.
J hat steamship rates have m
creased greatly since the war
started. and that rates via the
canal will be so high. when traffic
Us resumed. as TO make COMPETE
ton With the railroads negligible.
Tina. present all-water traffic be-
tween Atlantic and Pacific coast
points. diverted 20 the long cruise
around South America, IS incon-
sequential m volume, high IN cost,
unprohtable in operation, even at
prevailing rates. and affords prac-
. tically no real competition with
the transcontinental roads.
That the maintenance of low
through rates from coast 70 coast
works TO the disadvantage OF
points in the intermountain coun-
try.
Some members Of the commission. at
least. are understood TO hold that
there should be no reduction in rates
TO intermouutain territory, and 1t Is
the gene.al belief among those IA
miliar with the rate situation that the
readiustment. if one is decided on, will
be co.lplished by increasing rates
for the coast-to-coast haul.
In reopening the case the commits
sion decided, of its own initiative, TO
reopen rate decisions on dried fruits,
asphalt. canned goods, barley, beans
and other commodities.

Albany, April 1.-Governor Whitman
to-day vetoed the Walters bill
making the New York Central
Railroad present of large
part of the abandoned canal lands
in Syracuse. In memorandum
accompanying his veto the Governor
pointed out that the bill was unconsti-
tutional. in that it took from the state
canal funds money which the people Of
the state had voted to be used for
the specific use Of the new barge canal.
The Walters bill provided that SYRIA
ouse could purchase the abandoned
canal lands in that city, and instead
of paying for them credit the amount
to the states share in the adjustment
of grade crossings in that city. The
estimated value of the land was $780,
600.
In vetoing the bill the Governor
says:
at is only keeping faith with the
people for me 20 insist that the moneys
arising from the sale of the abandoned
canal lands shall be applied 10 the pur-
poses specified in the referendum act,
which the people approved"
