(Washington Bureau of Tbe JooraiL) '
Washington, - June 15. Information
reliable in character states that the In
terstate commerce commission will give
sufficient time before deciding the case
Of the Joint through rate via Portland
for Seattle and Tacoma.
In testimony taken in the hearing
here railroad representatives Intimated
to the commission that when the north
bank road and tha Harrlman line from
Portland to Puget sound were complet
ed traffio conditions- would be materi
ally bettered; probably the , railroads
would be able to approximate handling
tha freia-ht offered, so that nresent con
ditions 01 rreigm congestion wouia oe
largely cured. --.! .
i Apparently tne memoora ox mo -commission
are disposed to permit time
enoueh to . elapse to - demonstrate the
rood faith of the railroad men, as the
Washington lumbermen, petitioners for
the Joint throush rate, were given until
Ausrust t to file the brief and the de
fendant railroads and intervening Ore
mn mill men were allowed until Sep
tember 1 to file their brief a Time after
that will be allowed for, the filing of
rebuttal by petitioners, so that it may
be the end of the year before the com
mission Is ready to hand -down a de
cision.
' . sew voetnaa xor ssaiuoaas.
It Is known now that the Washington
mill men will stand for throwing all
north coast territory open to competi
tion by all roads, and will combat the
theory of the railroad men that a givea
vlsable to avert the impending disas
trous Interference v of legitimate bus!
ness interests by reason of the proposed
telegraphers' strike. In the Judgment
of this board, such a strike would Inflict
serious and widespread; injury to the
oommerce of the country." .
Commercial clubs and exchanges have
also sent the same message to the pres
ident and to President Clowry. Clow-
rv'a renlles have been that he Is not
aware of the existence of any trouble
between his company ana its employes.
The rumors of a strike has caused panto
among the memDers or tne siock ex
change and the board of trade. These
big institutions believe their very ex
istence IS tnreaienea.
President Samuel J. Small of the Com
merclal Telegraphers' union, now in New
York, sent this message today to W. C.
Long, editor of the official publication
of the operators:
The executive board will probably be
In session until tne miaaie or me weea.
