RAILROADS TO CUT
INTERMOUNTAIN Rate

Washington. April 27.-The interstatd>
commerce commission refused today TO
orde. a reduction in railroad rates from
points Of origin east of the ROCKY
Mountains to points In inter-mountain
territory. Complaints Of business or
ganizations and others in that section
were dismissed. the commission hold
ing that existing tariffs, which are on
a parity with those to Pacific coast
points, were not unduly rrejudic!al.
The complainants had contended for
a graded reduction based on the rates
to the Pacific coast. which were fixed
so that the steam carriers could COM
pete with water commerce passing
through the Panama canal The case
at issue was Of general interest over
the country AS any change in rates
would affect manufacturers in the east
ern sections.
The proposed schedules were opposed
by manufacturers and business organ
izations Of the Pacific coast. while nu-
merous eastern shippers and manufaC-
turcrs individually and through their
associations intcrvened IN the case t1
oppose ap art OF the proposed changes
which tended to increase rates from the
east 10 the Pacific coast. The COM

clared the decision should be helpful

BILL IS PASSED
IN THE SENATE
ACTION INDICATES
DEFEAT OF MEASURE
Powerful Lobby Of Railway
Interests Fighting the

Cnar as ION. W. Va. April 2T.-To-da
action in the senate regarding the hydro
electric bill is said TO be Indicative OF
the success Of an attempt to kill that
measure. Never say many Of the eN-
pcricnccd men in state politics. has sucn
a powerful! lobby been arrayed against
any measure other than tax bill as IS
now fighting the hydro-elcctric bill
Representatives Of nearly every railroad
in the state are in the city working
against the bill and according to popu-
lar rumor have succeeded in defeating 1t.
To-d day the proponents of the bill fear
ed 10 bring ii to vote. They had II
placed on the calendar as 4 special order
Of business for this afternoon. but when
tho time came. asked that it be passed
that the bill has been defeated or thai,
if passed it will be by very close
margin.
The remaining hours Of the session are
probably too few in number TO permit
the massage OF the bill. There can be no
successful attempt to suspend the rules
made owing To the opposition. Consc-
quently the measure cannot be placed
upon It's passage until Friday. Only the
acceptance Of railroad amendments which
would curtail the powers Of water power
development companies can permit Its
passage, says the senator's and dele
gates who are most closely in touch. A
deadlock vote Is aid to be the best they
can hope for in the event this amend
ment Is refused, and as It is an afttrmn-
tive question a tie means the deteat or
the bill
If passed It cannot be placed before
the house Of delegates in time for them
to concur in any amendments which are
to be made before the hour of adjourn
ment arrives.
