can vessels; on the weights of coal

Port of Portland Commissioners have

sides pilotage to and from the river
being eliminated on vessels of regular
lines running to offshore ports, the
toll for piloting them up and down the

The bar pilotage represents about 70
per cent of the total for guiding ves
sels to and from Portland. The river
pilotage is controlled by the Columbia
River Pilots' Association and the Inde
pendent pilots, and if the Port allowed
free pilotage the Commission would
have to pay the charges.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 19. Unless
new proceedings are Instituted, the ef
fort of the Government to break up
the so-called "hard coal trust" came to
an end today, when, upon application
of counsel for the Government, the
United States Court dismissed the suit
of the United States against the Phil
delphia & Reading Railway Company,
in which it was charged that the com
pany was violating the "commodities"
clause of the railway rate law.
The Government contended that the
railroad company was violating that
section of the law which forbids a line
from transporting commodities In
which the company had an interest.
The Government sought an injunction
restraining the railroad from Trans
porting coal dug from its own mines.
and in this connection named as co
defendant the allied interests of the
railroad company.
The order of the court was issued
