10 THE ' MORNING- OREGOMAX, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1919. HATE READJUSTMENT COMPLAINT ENTERED Interstate Commerce Commis sion to Hear Issues. LOCATION POINT INVOLVED "Wlicat Growers of Interior Sections May Become Parties to Action, for Satisfactory Tariffs. Filing of the complaint with the in terstate commerce commission by at torneys representing- Portland traffic organizations to obtain a determination of the question as to whether advan tages of location have any right to rec ognition in fixing freight rates has awakened public interest- Speculation was rife yesterday as to the probable .late for the hearing, which it is con ceded will be the most important to Portland industry that has been asked for and bound to have influence upon future development. "If it is actually a handicap to be nearer the wheatfields of the Colum bia river basin, it is high time we- find it out," said J. N. Teal, attorney for the 'haraber of Commerce and Portland Traffic and Transportation association in the case. "We do not know when the hearing will be held, as that is a matter for the interstate commerce commission to decide. Importance of the matters involved are such that I think we may expect an early hearing." The defendant railroads and the Vnited States railroad administration will have 30 days in which to make an swer to the complaint after receipt of notice. Thereafter the commission will set the "case for hearing before one of the members of the commission, or pos sibly more than one, and the testimony no doubt will be heard at Portland, as is customary in such cases. It is pos sible that the hearing may be held within 60 or 90 days. It also is deemed likely that the hearing on grain rates, upon complaint of the organization of wheatgrowers of the Inland Empire district, will be scheduled for the same date. AVheatsrrowers Interested. Producers and shippers at the inte rior points are as anxious to ascertain whether rates are based upon cost of service or for the preferential advan tage of points located at the greater distance, as are Portland grain and milling institutions. For this reason there is little reason to doubt that be cause of the close relationship between their prayer for readjustment of grain rates and that now made in asking for readjustment of rates on a basis that is equitable and fair to Portland, the wheatgrowers may be intervenors in the case. Owing to the fact that there is no longer competitive operation of the railroads, there probably will be no ap pearance by attorneys for the indi vidual lines. The United States rail road administration represents all of the roads, and there is no competition between lines for traffic theoretically so, at least hence the provisions of the federal control act for the move ment of traffic along lines of least re sistance and greatest economy would naturally serve to direct the inland empire traffic to and from Portland. As between shipments to Portland from Pendleton, the mileage is only about two-thirds as great as for move ment of the same traffic to Astoria. Movement to Seattle or Tacoma is cor respondingly a much more excessive haul on equated mileage based upon movement over either of the lines crossing the Cascade mountains. Hauls on the average from points within the interior to Astoria or Puget Wound points probably would average 25 per rent greater in mileage than to Port land. Intervention Is Kxpected. Because of the big issues involved, there is every reason to expect that Se attle, Tacoma and Astoria will ask to intervene. It is not unlikely that the Oregon Public Service Commission also will intervene, and that would suggest like action by the utilities commission of Washington. The map devised to accompany the complaint filed with the Interstate Commerce commission is an excellent presentation of the geographic situa tion. It reveals the situation of the three transcontinental lines that cross the Cascades at varying altitudes over lines or heavy gradient and sharp cur vature, and the contrasting economic situation of the roads following down the water grade route of the Columbia river. It also discloses the relative lo cations of the communities of traffic origin in the interior and the terminals that at present are on equal rate basis, though the map demonstrates that the cost of service must be greatly varied to the different destinations.

F0SDICK IS AUTHORITY Portland Minister Calls Attention to Assertion of Chairman of Train ing Camp Commission. Statements made in last Sunday night's sermon at the First Presbyte rian church, delivered by Dr. John H. Boyd, who alleged that proposals had been made by the French government relative to the supplying of the Amer ican army in France with prostitutes an offer which was promptly de clined are maintained by Dr. Boyd with the quotation of his authority, none other than Raymond B. Fosdick, chairman of the commission on train ing camp activities. One of those who heard the sermon, and who later met Irving S. Cobb, noted war correspondent, author and lecturer, then in Portland, asked Mr. Cobb if the statement was correct. Mr. Cobb replied with emphasis that it was not. It was when Dr. Boyd's attention was directed to thia denial that he produced the evidence which he holds to substantiate his statement, and which was not named in the sermon. Authority la Cited. In speaking on the Ten Command ments. Dr. Boyd pointed various ex amples of the danger of their infrac tion, and, with respect to this, added that he had recently been held up to scorn for an expression of concern for American soldiers overseas, as they came in contact with social con ditions abroad. He then made the statement attributed to him. Dr. Boyd- directs attention to the is sue of the New Republic for Novem ber 30, wherein Raymond B. Fosdick, chairman of the commission on train ing camp activities, deals with the subject in a signed article. The arti cle itself is discussed in the editorial columns of the publication of that date. In .it Mr. Fosdick declares that the attitude of the French in this re spect is diametrically opposed to that of America, and that their belief is firm in the theory that prostitution is essential to the morale of troops. French Sarprised at Refnsal. The French official report, states Mr. Fosdick, expressed naive surprise when their offer to the American high command was declined without dis cussion. "So sincerely did they (the French) hold the belief," wrote Mr. Fosdick, "that prostitution facilities were offi cially offered to the American high command." In view of the discussion anent his sermon and the statement made there in, said Dr. Boyd, he felt that the pub lic should be advised of the high au thority upon which it was based.
