State License . . 8-123 Union Pacific Case Started Issue of Commissioner's Power of Suspending Rates Involved V Hearlngs In the ease of Union Pacific and other railroads vs. Ormond R. Bean, public utilities commissioner, opened yesterday before Judge L. G. Lewelllng In a trial which will decide whether the utilities commissioner has the power to suspend railroad rates for transport of petroleum which have been judged too low. The fact that approximately ISO interested companies, especially trucking and water transport con cerns and the AFL Teamsters' union, have filed petitions in In tervention In the case resulted yesterday in an unusually large number of attorneys in the court room. The interveners have charged that the decreased tariff on pe troleum products which the plain tiff seeks to establish is only one of many such reduced rate sched ules on other products which the railroads will introduce. Such a general reduction of transportation charges would rnln their business, truck and water transport companies allege, and would throw many men out of work, in the opinion of the Teamsters' union. Attorneys appearing In the case, which is expected to continue for a number of days next week, Include John Carkin. counsel for the utilities commission; William F. Ellis, special counsel for the commissioner; Judge Campbell, Spokane, former Interstate com merce commissioner and now rep resenting the water transportation interests unofficially Charles Rob inson, union brotherhoods attor ney; William Adams, Northwest Petroleum Transporters counsel; Willis Moore, representative of the attorney general; Roy F.
