SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 18. Pro
testing that the proposed Increase In
tariffs ou California products will be
ruinous to a majority of commercial
firms of the state, representatives ot
the Bh!piers appeared today In the
office of H A. Jones, freight traffic
manager of the Southern Pacific, to
gether with Edward Chambers, as
sistant traffic manager of the Santa
Fe road. Several leading shippers
were closeted with the railway offi
cials during the morning but-declar
ed after leaving the railroad men that
there was. no Indication of yielding
on the part of the railroad officials
and other means must be taken by
the shippers to safeguard their inter
ests.
What measures will be taken have
not as yet been announced. It is
rumored that there is under consid
eration a move on the part of certnin
shippers to enjoin the' roads In the
courts front raising the rates on their
particular commodities. This, how
ever, Is recognized as an Involved and
unsatisfactory method of bringing
about what they call fair rates
I. S. Littlefleld, on behalf of the
W. P. Fuller Paint Co., and William
C. Lowenthal, of the Paraffine Paint
Qo., protested against an advance on
linseed oil that would mean a higher
tariff than on the raw products. They
claim that they represent nearly a
dozen paint firms throughout the
state which ship annually 100,000
barrels or linseed oil. Lowenthal in
formed the railroad men that the
proposed discrimination of the road
in requiring minimum shipments of
36,000 pounds, as against 30,000
from eastern shippers, would make It
Impossible for them to meet eastern
competition.
The shippers were unable to obtain
any satisfaction from the railroad of
ficials but believe that the roads' an
nouncement of their tariff schedules
will be made next Saturday.
