and unlawful manner.
it is further aliased In the answer
to the complaint that the matter Is for
settlement and determination of the In
terslate Commerce commission and la
rot within the Jurisdiction of the State
Railroad commission. The plea wn
filed bv W. W. Cotton and W. C. fipen
cer, attorneya for the Oregon Railway
.Navigation company.
Second - Complaint Filed.
As the result of the findings of the
Interstate Commerce commission In the
Spokane rate case It had been decided
by the Portland chamber of commerce
that a reduction of ratea on the O. R.
& N. would be necessary If Portland
, Jobber were to compete In the Inland
Kmplre with the Bpokane Jobbers. -With
this object-In view a complaint was
filed with the Railroad commission a
few weeks ago, alleging' that -the rates
now in effect on the O. R N,swer
excessive, and. a reduction . was Asked
for. " '
Last year a similar petition had been
presented to the Railroad commission,
: except that not Bo large a reduction
was asked. After a thorough Inrestlga
tlon the Railroad commission made aa
- order reauclng the rates on the Ore-
f:on Railway A - Navigation company's
ines, in accordance-with the demands
f the Portland business.
..lciHrl..eitraJnlag:.OraM,
., The railroad company went Into the
t'nlted States circuit court for this dls-
trlct and secured a . restraining order
enjoining the Railroad commission from
eniorcing toe order or reduction. Now
the Railroad company, In the ploa
flied trvtay, alleges in substance that
ny ining ine second complaint .and pe
tition a few weeks ago for another
and still further reduction of rates, the
Portland ' chamber -of commerce has
committed contempt as to the former
restraining order of the federal court,
and by this action la aeekine- anil at.
- tempting to abuse he process of the
tiauraaa commission in an arbitrary and
unlawful manner." ,L : 7
The matter will be taken up by the
commission as soon as possible and will
doubtless precipitate another prolonged
ii-iii in tne court before a settlement
cin be reached. - .
