THE HORNING OREGOXIATI. FRIDAY, DECE3IBER 1, 1916. 21 SHIPPERS ALIVE TO QUESTION OF RATES 3. N. Teal Returns From Hear ing Relative to "Long and - -k Short Haul" Condition. SPOKANE CHIEF CONTENDER Temiiorary Lack of Vessels "Used , as Argument to Try and Have , Discrimination In Favor of Coast Terminals Withdrawn. Whether or not the Interstate Com merce Commission will grant any relief to the railroads from an absolute en forcement of the long and short haul clause, is, in reality, the question of prime importance in the series of in vestigations now under way by the Commission. Joseph N. Teal, attorney for the Port land Traffic & Transportation Associa tion, has just returned from Chicago, where he attended the Initial hearing. Additional hearings are under way at Ha.lt Lake City and will be continued at San Francisco December 4, Portland December 11 and. Spokane December 14. Mr. Teal reports that shippers in all parts of the country are interested In the proceedings and attended the Chi cago hearing In great numbers. All the transcontinental railroads are rep resented. The railroad, he says, are holding to their contention for relief from a strict interpretation of the fourth section of the Interstate Com merce code, which prohibits a lower charge for a longer than for a shorter haul. Portland vand the other Pacific Coast terminals are, in effect, asking for the same principle. Spokane, virtually. Is the only city actively in sisting upon a strict interpretation of the fourth section without relief. Shippers Showing: Interest. The case is arousing much interest among carriers and shippers in other parts of the country 'and Is just be ginning to impress itself upon manu facturers, farmers and business men of the Northwest. It is becoming more apparent that the question at issue Is not one affect ing wholesalers and jobbers, so much as the industrial enterprises dependent upon the shipment of their raw products across the country and the farmers, fishermen, lumbermen, wool growers. fruit growers, packers and all other agencies who ever have occasion to ship a pound of freight by rail. The situation, briefly, is this: Port land, Seattle, San Francisco and other cities similarly situated at tidewater terminals, want the advantage of their natural locations; the railroads want to give it to them. Spokane and the Interior cities insist that rates should be based on distance and that location on, or proximity to. navigable water should not be a governing factor. Water Competition Is Lever. . Heretofore rates to the Coast termi nals have been based largely on the water rates, which are much lower than the normal rail rates. . The rail roads have attempted to meet the water rates at the terminals without chang ing the intermediate rates and the Commission has recognized this prin ciple of rate making over the objec tlons of Spokane and other Inter mediate cities, however. The Commission has held that so long as water competition actually existed the railroads should be permitted to meet it. Now, the water competition Is tem porarily and artifically suspended be cause the European war has forced vessels engaged In this service to with draw. Spokane, it appears, is seeking to take advantage of this situation. The Commission, by tits regent deci sions In suspending the schedule C. , rates, has accepted the Spokane view.

PACKET TO BE RELEASED Germans, However, to Detain Batch Mail for. Examination. BERLIN, via London, Nov. 30. . eemi-off icial announcement issued to day says the Dutch packet steamer Konlnsln Regentes. which -was taken into Zeebrugge recently by a German submarine, will be released. The an nouncement adds the mail matter car ried by the vessel will be detained and examined for contraband, such as cur rency and negotiable securities. This Investigation will determine whether the mails will be forwarded to their destinations. Three members of the crew, says the announcement, probably will face an investigation by a courtmartlal on a charge of assisting a British courier to endeavor to conceal his mail pouch. The announcement concludes with the statement that the release of the vessel is granted as a favor. The in cident probably will result In diplo matic representation, because Dutch torpedo boats, which had been sum moned by wireless, tried to prevent the German submarine from capturing the steamer.

(Spe clal.) seven ships have been launche by Grays Harbor's three shipyard since these began operation last Febru ary. Five more vessels are under con struction, and the yard owners hav contracts for seven steamers on which work has not been started. The biggest of the vessels launched was the auxiliary schooner Santino, which went into the water Sunday. The Grays Harbor Shipyard has two more ships of similar dimensions under construction, and has contracts for three others. The Aberdeen Shipyard will start on a vessel of the same size within the next few weeks. Despite this rush of boat building, shipyard men declare that the boat building boom is still in its infancy, and that the yards here will have J f , , , ' V x J I I i "V ' " 1 ' I I t . vv - J - J - -'-; - - - "t j!

DECKLOAD FIGHT IS STAKTED Canal Authorities Expected to Ask Congress for Tariff Change. Northwest lumbermen concerned in the movement of manufactured mate rial by water, are organizing again to defeat efforts reported to be afoot for taxing deckloads -or lumber moving through the Panama Canal. Concerted action last year resulted In recom mendations by General Goethals that deckloads be taxed, belns tabled. On the strength of a rumor that the Canal authorities will endeavor to revive the issue before Congress at the forthcom ing session, another and stronger op position Is being formed. The Seattle and Tacoma Chamber of Commerce have begun the campaign through placing facts before the Wash ington Congressloral delegation and the same step will be taken here if added strength Is required. W. B. D. Dodson, executive secretary of the Portland Chamber said yesterday' that the organization figured prominently in the opposition last year and would be at the front again if called on. The building of new wooden ships for the Canal trade and the expectation that there will be a heavy movement when the war ends, brings the deckload fea ture home to inillinen on the river.

OLD SAILER REFUSED Insurance on Glory of Seas Held Too High. 1869 VESSEL PICTURESQUE Former Clipper and Pride of Boston, Reduced to Common Barge, Will Not Be Seen In Portland. Xotable Voyages Made. Only for the fact 5 per cent Insur ance on the vessel was regarded too hifrh to use her In the lumber trade, Portlanders would have had an oppor tunity to see an old-time wooden car rier that would have formed a strons contrast with the modern wooden aux iliary vessels being built here. The vessel is the Glory of the Seas, once an American clipper and pride of Boston and now derated to a common bargre that must be towed instead of depending on her foraner great spread of canvas and model to carry her along. The vessel Is lying on Puget Sound and only since her rigging was sent down to make a barge of her has she been idle for lone periods since she was launched at Uoston In 1869. The Glory of the Seas was well named, and one of her notable voyages was from San Francisco to bydney, in 1875, the distance, 6514 miles, being covered In 35 days. She was offered for charter here last week, but the insur ance stODDed negotiations. Another old-timer being rehabilitat ed after lying in Oakland Creek for years is the- Harvester, once a clipper ship that was built In 1871 at Newbury- port. Mass, and In the same rieet witn her were the Reaper, Gatherer and Sunrise. She Is owned by the Hlnd- Rolph Interests and will be used be tween San Francisco and Australia. Steamer owners engaged In the lum ber trade, particularly those catering to passenger business, frown on towing barges of lumber to California because of the time lost. Even with steamers used exclusively for lumber It la rea soned that, with high freights pre vailing. It is best to employ a tug to tow barges and permit the steamer carriers to run free. At that, barges are being used between Puget Sound and the Golden Gate and two have been taken from Portland to San Pedro during the past few weeks, but only because they were to be delivered there to enter the kelp- trade and rated were not stiff. Only a few of the pioneer American ships now listed In the Alaska cannery fleet have been chartered for lumber, owners preferring to have the ships lay Idle to insure their presence when the season opens rather than risk them getting Into trouble or being delayed by cargo handling beyond the early Spring period. BEAK'S HULXi C A EATS SEAS In Spite of Being Buckled, Ship Loses Only Woodwork In Storm. Though nearly six months have elapsed since the steamer Bear, "bull dog" of the original "Big Three" fleet. piled up on the beach north of Cape Mendocino, and her position Is an ex posed one, the strength of her hull, though weakened through buckling as a result of pounding by heavy seas, holds her together to an extent that makes mariners marvel. For 48 hours ending Monday, the vessel was subjected to a severe on slaught by the blow raging along the Mendocino Coast, and the "topside suffered materially. The social hall and many of the staterooms were stove In. Tremendous seas are said to have washed completely over the vessel, yet when the blow subsided crews resumed their labor of stripping the big ship. Every part of the equipment that can be of future service Is Delng saTvecr. G. L. Blair, manager of the San Fran cisco & Portland Steamship Company, has spent much of his time since leav Ing here recently at the scene, though the company abandoned the ship to the underwriters some time ago. TILLAMOOK. MAY BE BOCGIIT Elmore Fleet Keeps Busy in Trade Between Oregon Harbors. Negotiations are reported on for tho purchase of the gasoline schooner Tillamook, largest of the Elmore fleet, and it is understood an option has been given that expires in a few days. If taken, the probabilities are the vessel will go Into the Mexican trade. The steamer Sue H. Elmore, of the same line, which plies in the Portland Tillamook trade. Is undergoing repairs at Astoria, and she may resume service, though usually at this season the own ers plan to lay-up the steamer owing to weather conditions. The gasoline schooner Patsy, flying the Elmore flag, is In steady service and. with the Tilla mook operating between Portland and Coos Bay, the Patsy makes other .Ore gon Coast harbors. Business has been brisk so the fleet has had full out bound cargoes and It is not questioned that they can keep going all Winter, as far as patronage figures.
