THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1017. NEW RATES OPPOSED Coast Shippers Allied Against Proposed Freight. Tariff. HEARING COMES TO CLOSE In Event New Tariff Is Granted, - Shippers Will Have 30 Days In "Which to Kile Protest and Keopen Case. The clash of interests of the Pa cific Coast shippers and manufacturers with those of intermediate regions of the West, in the concluding session of the hearing of the Interstate Commerce Commission, on tentative rates pro posed by the railroads for new tariffs, was brought to a focus yesterday fore noon. "Is It not true that ybu have not as much interest in getting just and rea sonable rates from the East, as you have in the relation of those rates to the Pacific Coast terminal rates?" was the substance df a question put to a witness of the Idaho committee, by W. C. McCulioch, attorney for the Port land Traffic & Transportation Associa tion, an organization of local shippers. The witness replied that the inter ests f the intermediate regions were R2.ou3tedly based upon the competi tive aspect of the rates, with relation to those proposed for points on the Pa cific Coast. Const liaten Increase. The testimony of Idaho and Utah in terests, heard yesterday, favored gen erally the new tariffs proposed by tlte railroads, although in some instances these create slight increases for the states mentioned. Local shippers maintain that the reason for this advocacy is that the proposed tariff heavily increases rates to Coast points, whereas it does not increase at all, or only slightly, rates now existing to intermediate Western points. The effect of the new tariff, they eay, would permit intermediate cities to ship freight from the East at a com paratively advantageous rate, and thus compete in intermediate territory with Coast manufacturers and jobbers, and at a noticeable advantage. It is for this, among other reasons, that the cities of the Pacific Coast proper are Strongly allied in the fight against the proposed change in tariff. Protest Is Probable. "The rates are .a big increase to Coast cities, and are small, or not in effect ot all, with regard to intermediate cities," explained Mr. McCulioch. As an indication that the Commission expects to return a decision within a short time is their ruling that briefs must be filed by December 5. In the event that the application of the railroads to file new tariffs is granted, a period of 30 days must elapse before they go into effect, during which time the shippers, if I'issatisf ied, may file protest and reopen the ca.se. If the tariffs are filed it is considered certain that some rates will be pro tested by local shippers. War Risk Rate Reduced. WASHINGTON. Nov. 23.
