The club, late Friday afternoon, sent the following sizzling telegram to the interstate commerce commission at Washington, D. C.: 4 “The Seattle Commercial Club unanimously requests favorable action by your honorable body in eliminating preferential rates made by Southern railroads from Eastern / points to California. The Commercial Club heartily approves the petition filed with your honorable commission in this matter by the public service commission of the state of Washington. The Commercial Club also stands ready to assist in supplying your commission with evidence of the gross injustice done the entire Northwest in this matter. We urge a speedy hearing of the case. Otherwise the Northwest will have no opportunity of obtaining its rightful share of the immense tourist trade during the coming summer.”
