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

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.

built last year to the United States Steel
Products corporation at the rate of $144
a deadweight ton and the fact that Euro
pean yards are contracting to build ves
sels at figures as low as $120 a ton, will
force the shipping board to dispose of
their vessels at a muob lower figure than
present quoted prices.
