The action of the Interstate Com merce Commission Saturday in order ing reopened the old Spokane, or trans continental rate case, which was not wholly -unpredicted, will be considered Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, at a conference of shippers and rail road men in Portland. The Tuesday conference will be held in the offices of Frank W. Robinson, traffic manager of the O.-W. R. & N. Company, and on Wednesday a larger conference will be held, probably at the Chamber of Com merce. .T. N. Teal, who has acted as attorney for Portland in the long-drawn-out battle, said yesterday that he naa started communication with Washing ton seeking details of the Commission's order. As it now stands, the action of the Interstate Commerce Commission is not entirely clear. Whether the order merely puts up for hearing the ques tion Involved in the suspension of rates on some 100 or more commodities which was ordered in August, or en tirely reopens the rate case in all its ramifications threshed over in the last 25 years, Mr. Teal could not determine from preliminary dispatches. Extensive Inquiry Once Foreseen. "If the action refers to the suspen slon in effect until December 30 of these certain rates, which was made August 30, our course is clear and this action of the Commission is in line with what was expected as a result of the suspension order, Mr. Teal said. "But, if it opens up the entire rate situation, that is another and more serious matter for all concerned." This much is significant, however. In July, this year, when some 600 ship pers from all parts of the country ap peared before the Interstate Commerce Commission at Washington asking for a suspension of the rates, which was subsequently granted, it was reported from Washington that that hearing might lend to a general investigation by the Commission of the entire trans continental rate situation. By some it is believed the action of the Commis sion last Saturday was a. step in that direction. "It appears from the dispatches that the entire situation has been reopened." said Mr. Teal, "but it is hard to say until we have had the Commission's order in detail. I have written for it and expect to be advised soon. The Commission has, at least it seems or dered combined, the hearing on the schedule C, which has to do with the rates on some 100 commodities pe culiarly concerned with water com petition, and the condition of the Pana ma Canal, ind the hearing on schedule B, embracing a larger number of com modities, which was petitioned for by bpokane shippers. "Schedule B took cognizance of the Panama Canal in the water transpor tation facilities for cities profiting by terminal rates, and the Spokane ship pers contended that there was and is in actuality no water competition now. because war conditions have deprived shippers of ships and conditions in the Canal had tied up transportation by that route. They asserted inland cities were as advantageously situated as were so-called terminal cities in this respect. At the time Spokane made its attack on schedule B it was pointed out by them that a change in condi tions could not be reasonably hoped lor in the near future. Adamson I.aiT May Have Bearing. On August 30. when, as a result of the showing made by the 600 shippers at wasnington. the Commission sus pended until December 30. the proposed advance in transcontinental rates, it was announced that within two months from that time an extensive hearing would be held on these proposed rates and on the facts then produced a per manent order would be issued to go into effect the first of 1917. At that time it was contended the shippers made a prima facie case against the proposed advances, and this showing coupled with certain admissions of railroad attorneys, brought about the suspension order August SO. It was evident to those who were at the hearing in July s and August that tne then imminent railroad strike would likely be taken Into consldera. tlon, and it is now suggested that the passage or the Adamson law. fixing ad dltional financial burden on the rail roads, may have a bearing on the or dered re-opening of the case and the subsequent readjustment. At the August hearing Mr. Teal on posed the increased rates on the theor that the Portland rates had only been raised, and the Spokane rates not low ered, to attain a certain end, and that the proposed increase would mean & difference of $2,000,000 a year to Ore gon terminal points in the salmon in dustry alone. This, he explained, would mean ? l.uoo.ooo a year on tin plate, ex tensively used in the salmon industry, ana anotner il, 000.000 on the ship ment of salmon East. Conference Just Held in Chicago. Mr. Robinson has - been in Chicago conferring with traffic officials of other roaas on the rate situation. which Touia come to a head one way or an other when the four months' susnen sion was lifted January 1. Traffic offi cials had been seeking to discover what the Interstate Commerce Commission's attitude would be toward a rate read justment to meet the temporary water competition interruption. There s.i-e many items to be enn.M- ered as soon as the commission's full order Is received. one of which is whether the order will abrogate a pre vious one, requiring the publication of new rates by Januarv 1. Traffic men and shippers from all points in the Northwest and probably from California, are expected for the nearing tomorrow and Wednesday. SOCIETY rpHB WOMEN of Laurelhurst Club .

LAUV AT PLAZA HOTEL. Two Patrolmen Overpower Mrs. Xon Wade and Seize Glasses Said to Contain Liquor. A sensational raid, with a scuffle be tween a policeman and a woman as one of the spectacular features, was made on the Plaza Hotel, 207Vi Third street. by Patrolmen Clement and Abbott last night. A considerable quantity of beer and whisky was seized, and four wom en and two men were arrested. The policemen entered the hotel and concealed themselves to find out if liquor was being sold there. They re ported that they saw Mrs. Nora Wade, the landlady, make several trips along the corridor with a trayful of glasses. The police slipped jip behind the land lady as she entered the room to which she was carrying the trays, and seized her. The policemen reported that three women and two men were seated at a table in the room, with glasses before them. One of the glasses, the patrol men report, contained whisky.
