LOSE BATE FIGHT Supreme Court Upholds Lower Court in Refusing Injunction to Prevent Increases. Washington. May 5. (U. P.) The supreme court today affirmed lower court decisions against the Skinner & Eddy corporation in Its attack on iron and , steel rates to . the Pacific coast, which were put Into effect fn June ana July, iJ8. . " - i , ' ' The suit was a part of a rate contro-jersy- betweeir coast- cities and- western Interior oities. "'-":Y i r The corporation' asked an 'injunction against the ; Interstate commerce com mission order, although the -real ' com plaint was that the roads raised coast rates when they should have reduced rates to Intermediate points. This suit involved an increase of 10 cents per 100 pounds In freight rates on Iron and . steel articles from Pittsburg to Portland. Seattle ' and other coast cities. : The Increased rate was made ef fective December 30, l9l, and Skinner & Eddy brought suit In the United States district court In Portland, asking for an injunction to prevent the inter State commerce commission and the rail roads from, collecting the extra charge. ' Judges Gilbert, Wolverton and Bean tried the case in this 'court and denied the injunction. The suit was based on the last paragraph of the fourth , sec tion ' of the act to regulate commerce which provides that "whenever a carrier by railroad shall, in competition with a water route, reduce rates on the car riage of $ freight between competitive potntsV it shall not be permitted to in crease such rates unless, afttr a-hearing by Ore" interstate commerce commis sion, it shall be found that the proposed Increase rests upon changed conditions other than the elimination of water com petition." Freight rates on iron and steel were reduced from Pittsburg to coast .points from 80 cents to 65 cents per 100 In April, 1319, after the companies had shown that the reduction was necessary to meet water competition via the Panama .canal. Later when, the canal was closed because of slides and when the demand for ships for war purposes eliminated the shipment of aroods from the , Atlantic to the Pa cific coast' the ' roads -increased their rates, without a hearing by he in terstate commerce commission. , T. J. Teal and W. C. McCullough rep resented the Skinner & TOddy . company in the suit for , Injunction in the I'ort land court and Mr. Teal argued the case before the Halted States supreme court at Washington In March.

Rivalry for the honor of being the first state to complete Its Victory Liberty loan quota has resulted in a dispute between Oregon, Iowa andl Michigan. Oregon, according to official , re ports to the treasury today, has oversubscribed her quota without the assistance of banks.

In a telegram to the national war loan directors, the Oregon state com mittee lays formal claim to the dis tinction of having finished the Job first, and demands proof that Iowa' and Michigan did not let the banks carry their allotment, instead of dis tributing it in Individual subscrip tions. Oregon has oversubscribed her quota to th Victory Liberty loan by between'? 5 00,000 and $1,000,000, ac cording to estimates ventured toJay by Victory loon pf tidal. : ; '; " ' The oversubscription of the" state outside 'Portland . totals' Si77.m, Conclude M T Bj. 7olttma Td WHEN FATHER DIES 11-Ycar-0ld Milton Chadsey Walks Miles in Rough Coun try to Notify Coroner. ' La Grande, May 6. Eleven year old Milton Chadsey of Walla Walla. Wash., is a hero in the light of his experi ences of the past few days.

It was placed on a sled and hauled three miles over a road on which snow lay In soft drifts from one to eight feet deep. " The sled broke down" and tbe body was 'then tied into a saddle and taken to a cabin where the party, remained over Friday night.
