16, TTTE MORTG OKEGOXTAX, TUESDAY, AUGUST 24, 1920 RESULTS EXPECTED OF TRAFFIC BUREAU Innovation Finds FavorWlth Traders in East. MORE BUSINESS ASSURED General Gain in Movement Throuj Local Port Counted Certainty of the Near Future. Though the idea, of a traffic bureau conducted by a municipality is an in novation, the idea is finding favor with the leading importers and ex porters of the east, and as a result a healthy and gradual increase In. the amount of business moving through this port is to be looked for, accord ing to Harry L. Hudson, manager of the Joint traffic bureau of the Port of Portland and commission of public docks, who returned Sunday from an extended trip through the eastern spates. During the past two months Mr. Hudson has been visiting the heads and traffic managers of the trans continental railroads and large im porting and exporting houses in an endeavor to secure the routing of additional freight through Portland. He also spent ten days in Washing ton aiding W. D. B. Dodson, general manager of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, in the fight now in prog ress there for recognition of this port by the shipping board and the allo cation of two combination freight and passenger liners for operation be tween Portland and the orient by the Columbia-Pacific Shipping company. Business Much Unsettled. The import and export business of the entire country is in an unsettled atate, Mr. Hudson said yesterday, be cause of the uncertainty, regarding application of the new merchant ma rine law, the delay in the appoint ment of new members of the shipping board, and the foreign exchange situ ation. For this reason, he said, it has been difficult to make with im porters and exporters any definite arrangements regarding increase in their shipments through Portland. The heads of large establishments, . however, Mr. Hudson reported, were all enthusiastic over the aid offered by the Portland traffic bureau in looking after their shipments and expediting their movement, and promised close co-operation. While In New York, Mr. Hudson opened an office there of the Port land traffic bureau, with C. A. Lock hart in. charge. Mr. Lockhart will not confine his efforts to the metrop olis, but will cover the entire At lantic coast in much the same man ner as Joseph F. Buckley and William G. Tait, agents of the Portland traf fic bureau, are covering the far east ern field. Prospects Are Favorable. Prospects are particularly bright, Mr. Hudson says, for an increase in the movement of rubber and hemp from the orient through Portland, destined for eastern manufacturing centers. The new railroad rates, which will be equalized for the three seaboards of the country on the basis of the New York tariff, will form no impediment to the movement of trans continental import and export freight through the Pacific coast, and may even give this section of the country a slight advantage. EMPLOYSIEXT AGEXT IS SITED Swedish Vice-Consul Avers Ship's Master "Was Overcharged. Jack Grant, ene-time proprietor of a sailors' boarding house and present club owner and employment agent. is accused of extorting J360 more than the legal fee for procuring 12 sailors fo- the Swedish ship Indus in a suit for the recovery of that amount filed in the circuit court yes terday by Valdemar Udell, Swedish vice-consul or Portland. No ship could :?ave the port of Portland until JacK Grant got his fee for whatever sum ne cared to charge for any men siprned here, whether signed through him or otherwise, was the representation made by Grant to the ships master. Captain B. A. Brandt, according to the complaint. It Is asserted that the 12 sailors were furnished Captain Brandt Aug ust 12, for whom 40 each was charged by Grant, whereas the legal fee does not exceed $10 per man. The money wa paid . on protest. It Is said, as the captain had to leave port, and needed the men badly, it was not an American vessel, own ers and captain being Swedish, and not knowing the law covering the matter here, the claim was assigned by the captain before sailing to the local vice consul of Sweden, and the suit results for the return of J360 cf 480 paid STEAMER PASSES G IBRALiTER Report Received Say Ko thing About Easterrt Sailor. The steamer Bakersfleld of the Burope&n-Pacifio line, which sailed from Portland July 11 with a cargo of wheat for Alexandria, Egypt, was reported to the merchants' exchange yesterday as passing Gibraltar Au srust Z3.

RIVAL PORT WATCHES US SEATTLE AROUSED Bt ACTIV ITIES IX ORIENTAL LAXDS. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, Aug. 23. Nearly two and a half months ago congress passed the merchant marine act, pro- iding for the appointment of seven irectors of a new shipping board, to be chosen. in a manner giving the maximum puari lty of full represen tation of a.lli interests of the country n this most important body. Yet not man has been appointed by the resident to the new board member ship. Those who believe that a law duly passed and approved should be en forced, are growing very restless under the great delay. A large num ber of the seaports of the country, who expected to find in a board chosen from the country at large. lympathetie recognition of their re pectlve rights, are also beginning to clr. lori In the e: -ly days of the wait, it was assumed that tut executive power was givi..; proper time to study of pplicants, and also incidentally, a little attention to the politics of the case. . - Convention Used as Excuse." Then the San Francisco convention appeared on the horizon, and a wait until it was over, with return home of a flock of cabinet officers, was advanced as reason for further delay. No appointn.cn ts coming soon there after, other reasons were advanced In due order, until this procession of ex planations and excuses has become quite formidable. Now, a:' more than two mo-ths, it has .bsen tent- tivcly announced that the new merchant marine act has no 'appropriation clause, provd ing the salaries for the new board mem tiers, and this Is advai.ced as cause for delay to date, and possibly further delay until congress conveues. borne final announcement from the administration is expected very soon as to whether such new discovery will have the erfect slated. All the cauiis so far offered for nelay are not allaying: demand for ap pointment or a board under the law. If the administration wanted to make the law effective, a means for doing so could be found, it is argued. Parallel Case Is Cited. A parallel case is cited with the interstate commerce commission, where appointment made could not be covered by salary, 'and at least one new member authorized has failed to qualify and sit until salary can De paid. The fact that salary Is not payable thus appears to have been no seri ous deterrent for making appoint ments in other lines. Why should not the board desired by the president for the enforcement of the merchant marine also be named, it Is asked, and let those who would serve without salary do so, and those unable to do so await appropriation? If some able men should re card the duty of service of such moment that they would undertake the work, and await congressional aDDronria- tlon. this course would at least in stall a part of the seven authorized to help bear the enormous burdens that are being heaped upon the shoulders of Admiral Benson, chair. man, under present conditions. It seems likely that a most insist ent demand for action is likely to come from many parts of the coun try soon, unless more of an effort is made to fill out the board as pro vided by law.
