Opposition to Freight Rates Cuts Across Coast to Spokane
Testimony in a federal hearing before Attorney Examiner William A. Disque shows proposed freight rate reductions would cut Spokane merchants’ freight zone by 24 to 298 miles for many commodities, favoring coast points while interior routes face higher impact. Spokane jobbers cite water competition as key, with hearings spanning two days and ongoing in Portland and San Francisco. Final report and recommendations expected by March.

Boxing Commission Criticized For Power Over Seattle Fights

It cites history of amateur and professional boxing, notes a 10 percent commission on net earnings, and warns of alleged overreach and bribery risks by officials. The piece references promoters like Lonnie Austin Dan Salt and events at Seattle Athletic Club and Elke club. It warns readers to judge whether the commission preserves sport or exerts undue control.
