OPPOSITION To
PROPOSED RATE
CUT WEsTB0UND
tBy The Associated Press.)

San Francisco, Calf, Dec. o.
Opposition of intermountain terri
tory and interior California bust
ness interests to proposed reduce
ton of west bound transcontinental
freight rates to Pacific coast ter
minals to meet Panama canal COM
petition was shown at an interstate
commerce commission hearing here
today.
The carriers, acting through the
transcontinental freight bureau, are
seeking reductions ranging from
20 to SO per cent on iron and steel,
building material, cotton piece
goods, canned goods and other COM
modities effective from points east
the Missouri river.
Such reductions would be disad-
vantageous to intermountain terri
tory, according to j. +. Shaughnes-
sy, of Reno, member of the NeVa-
da public service commission ana
vice president of the Intermediate
Rate association, which is oppos-
ing the carriers application.
Hal M. Remington, representing
the traffic bureau Of the San Fran
cisco chamber of commerce, said
his organization favored the reduc-
tons because they Would increase
railroad tonnage, make the carriers
more prosperous and enable them
to distribute California products in
the east more efficiently.
Asked by Examiner w. A. Dis
que if something should not be done
to compensate the intermediate ter
ritory for the proposed preference
to be given the terminal points, at
torneys for the carriers declared
that the intermediate points must
suffer the penalty for being served
by only one means Of transportation
instead of two. i|
The hearing will continue to-
morrow. 1t followed one on an APP
plication by the Southern Paclflc
company for a reduction of east
bound rates on seven commodities
to meet canal competition with the
companys route to New York by
rail from California to Galveston
and from Galveston on by steamer.
