FIGHT OVER
R. a RATES
(By Alaska News Bureau.)
SEATTLE. Au?. IS ? There Is con
siderable speculation among business
men as to the ultimate effect of the
decision of the Interstate Sommerce
Commission in the so-called Spokane
Case. This cuts out the "back-haul
charge" from tidewater to interior
points. Spokane has been fighting
for such a decision and believes it
will reap important trade advantages
therefrom. However, the coast in
terests hold that it will really prove
a boomerang, in that every other
other interior city gets the same ad
vantage. On top of all, comes the
report, that the railroads intend to
readjust all freight rates, because of
the decision.
