PARTIAL RELIEF IS GIVEN Differential Is Abolished In One) In stance and Intimation Held Out That Further Order Depends on Court. OREGON! AN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. July. 7. The Interstate Com merce Commission. In an opinion to day, ordered a reduction In the freight rate on lumber from South Portland to points In Utah. Idaho. .Montana ana Ta n.rn Washington, but declined, ex cept la one Instance, to accord South Pnrti.n mills the sain rate that Is now charged other mills of Portland and East Portland. This decision was based on the complaint or the Fort land Lumber Company and four other innhar nf South Portland, which joined In an appeal to the Commission, asking for the same rates as are given other Portland mills. Lawsuit Is Pending. After explaining the location of the South Portland mills, on the Tamlilll division of the Southern Pacific, and showing that lumber shipped from these 'mills to p.olnts East roust mate 14-mlle detour over the wimour cut-off before getting to. East Portland. and onto the Oregon-u aslilngton Kail way A Navigation Company tracks, the Commission holds that it ought not. at this time, to require railroads to em brace the South Portland mills within the Portland switching limits, though It intimates that this may be done if the courts In the suit now pending permit the United Electric Company to make track connections with the Southern Pacific at Park-street terminal, thereby giving South Port land direct communication e.lth the Union Station. Differential Is 1 educed. The Commission says thsto destina tions east of Utah common points. Bouth Portland mills now have the same rate as other Portland mills. To common points in Utah, however. South Portland mills pay a differential of 2H cents per 100 pounds. The Portland rate upon common points is now 37 H cents per 100 pounds, and the Commis sion In this Instance gives South Port land th same rate, abolishing the dif ferential. On lumber shipped to Southern Idaho and Montana. South Portland mills pay five cents per bundreA more than other Portland mills. The Commission holds this differential is too. great, and while admitting that a somewhat higher rata may properly be charged, directs that hereafter the differential shall not ex ceed one cent per hundred, which is equivalent to about t-t a car. Joint Rate Ordered. On lumber shipments to points In Eastern Washington and Northern Ida ho. South Portland mills now pay four cents higher than rate from other Portland mills. The Commission orders a reduction of this differential to one cent per hundred and directs Southern Pacific. O.-W. R. N. Company and Camas Prairie Railway to establish Joint rates to this territory, which shall not exceed by more than one cent per hundred rates contemporaneously main tained to those points from other Port land mills. The Commission does not make any order in this case against the Northern Pacific, as all points of destination can te mere reaclly reached by other roods, and there Is doubt whether through rates can Justly be put Into effect by Northern Pacific If rates by that route are of real consequence, the Com mission Intimates that a new complaint should be filed. Tha order of Commission goes into effect September 1. VICTORY WON Br SHIPPERS Complainants Put on Kqual Footing With Portland Mills. Although, according to the Inter state commerce Commission's ruling, a differential of one cent a hundred pounds on shipments to Eastern Wash ington and Northern Idaho Is still to be collected from the South Portland mills, tha decision Is substantially a victory for the complainants. It vir tually places them on an equal footing with those properties in Portland that -i i ii.. w& n.ithnrn I are on inn nmiu 11110 'i wiu "u1' Pacific and O.-W. R. A N. Companies.' It will enable them to ship their prod ucts to the territory In question In competition with the North Portland mills. In a similar manner, the territory in the Pocatello district is opened to the South Portland mill owners, as the en tire differential with the exception of one cent per 100 pounds is wiped out. In the Utah territory the former differential of 2H cents Is discontin ued, the commission concluding that the haul on shipments to that territory Is long enough to absorb the added cost of handling South Portland prod ucts. This case had been pending In the courts many years and grew out of the early necessity of the Southern Pa cific for hauling the products of the South Portland district to St. Joseph and transporting It back to Portland over the West Side lines, necessitating sn additional haul of approximately 100 miles. The differential then was 7H cents. When the Oswego bridge was built, this differential was cut to 4 cents. Since then, however, the. mill owners have been trying to force the Southern Pacific to enter Into a traffic agreement for handling their lumber or. the United Railways Front street -line. An injunction was ob tained preventing the mill ' owners from accomplishing this and the case Is still in the courts. The subject was then taken before the Interstate Commerce Commission and a hearing was held In Portland early In the year. Yesterday's deci sion was the result of that hearing.
