RATES| iim Secs: Commerce Board Grants Relief Asked by Western Railways Be- cause of Water Competition. WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.—Vital re- ef to Western railroads and to mid- dle-western shippers was embodied in @ decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission to-day in the so-called “Intermountain case,” whereby the roads are permitted to establish rate: from Missouri River territory to Pa- cific’ Coast points lower than to inter- mediate destinations. The decision was brought about by the revolution- ary effect of the opening of the Pan- ama Canal upon transportation rates to Pacific Coast territory. The Pa- cific Coast terminals to which the new rates will apply are the points at which Atlantic-Pacific steamships de- liver freight. The shrinkage of rates by way of the Canal from New York to San Francisco put the railroads in serious straights, they represented. They de- clared they faced a double loss of revenue under the original order terms, because a lowering of the rates to Padific points to meet rates on water traffic would have to be met by & corresponding deorease on Inter- Mountain rates, a, remuiing in & Joss on doth classes of t par he oS ‘WOULD Br Foy ene cr MISSED.
