T 20. TIIE 3IORXTXG OREGOXIAX. THURSDAT, SEPTE3irJER 2, 1920 PA CM SUCCESS CHECKED TO PUBLIC Bright Outlook for Firms De pends on Credit. SMALL PROFITS 'URGED Income Adequate for TTpkeep and to Pay Fair Kcturn on Prop erty Is Level Set. In the report of the federal electric railways commission submitted to President Wilson, it is the conclusion that three factors are to be consid ered in the situation of traction com panies in the United States the pub lic, the employes and the investors, according to Franklin T. Griffith, president of the Portland Railway. Light & Power company, who re turned yesterday from Washington, V. C. Mr. Griffith attended a meeting of the committee on water power devel opment of the National Electric Light association, of which he is the chair man. He also served as a member of the 'committee of one hundred,' com posed of the executives of electric ruilroads named to act in an advisory capacity to the commission. Guy W. Talbot, president of the Pacific Power & Light company, who was a member or the committee returned to the city yesterday. Power Conference Held. The two officials attended a con- fercnoc with the federal water power commission. This commission was created by act ot congress, and is composed of the secretaries of war, interior and agr culture. It was created to fix rules and regulations under which permits for water power developments may be issued. The federal electric .rail "waya commission was appointed by the president in May, 1919, and has made an exhaustive examination into the situation of the electric lines of the country. Briefly summed up, H is the opinion of the commission that the success or failure ofVthe traction companies rests with the people who receive the serv ice. Recommendations of the com m ission were made in regard to financing for immediate requirements relief of the companies from exces uive burdens and the responsibilities of the interests involved. It is point ed out that, unless credit is restored, the outlook is not bright for 'traction properties, and the three parties are advised as to their respective duties in the premises. Ipkerp Profit Sufficient. The managements of the companies are told that it is thir duty to serve the public with the highest efficiency at the lowest cost, and that they should be satisf ied with profits ade quate for upkeep and to pay a fair return on the value of the property and to secure investment of addition al funds required. The public duty is defined as the control and supervision of railroad properties, with the view of safe guarding public interests, and the allowance of such return upon the fair valuation as may be agreed upon between the city and the company. Jt is held that employes should have a living wage and reasonable hours of labor and good working conditions and the right to deal collectively with their employers. The report also says: "All labor disputes should, be settled voluntarily or by arbitration, and the award of such board should be final and binding on both parties. Invited, to Washington. "The water power commission asked the committee to come to Washing ton to give such assistance as it could in reference to the practical workings of rules and regulations that it was the purpose of tho commission to recommend." said Mr. Griffith. "It was the effort of the committee to fri ve the assistance on the practica side of projects to which the rules to be promulgated would apply. "The cabinet officers composing the committee expressed themselves as desirous of seeing developments in such manner as to fully protect the rights e-f the government, to prevent undue charge to the public for service and to make investment in such de velopments safe and remunerative. They want to prevent wildcatting and to give such stability to water-power developments as will enable the com panies to make such development, and obtain the necessary money at rea sonable rates because of the assur ance of return and security."

COMPETITION IS STIFLED Present Rail and Ocean Haul Cost Through Portland More Than From Atlantic Ports. Differentials In Import and export rail rates now existing- In favor of Atlantic ports as against ports of the Pacific coast are expected to be elimi nated within a few days and rates equalized to permit Pacific ports to compete with those of the Atlantic coast for the trans-Pacific commerce. A telegram received yesterday by W. D. Skinner, traffic manager of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle railway, from J. G. Wood worth, vice-president, in charge of traffic for the Northern Pacific railway, stated that the ques tion of equalization of export rates has beensreferred to the traffic com mittee at Chicago. The committee referred to consists of traffic representatives of all trans continental railroads and settles all tariff questions of this character. Representative rail and steamship traffic men from Portland and other ports of the Pacific met at Seattle early this week, discussed the differ entials against this coast and recorrt-J . . i , i - . . 1 rt.u T menaea ineir immeuiiit; i l-iiiuv i. ane recommendation of this conference is now before the traffic committee of the railroads. Rate Chanire Announced. The expectation tHat quick action will be taken by this committee is based upon public announcement made recently from the headquarters of all the transcontinental lines that import and export rates are to be equalized on the basis of the new rates via New York. Before the recent increase of 33 1-3 pur cent in freight rates became ef fective, import and export rates were o equalized that tne total transporta ion cost for moving freight from an r.d point to a trans-Pacific des- ination was practically the same whether the freight was shipped through the Atlantic, Pacific or gulf coasts. With the new rates In effect, how ever, the cost or the comDlnea ran and ocean haul through such a port as Portland is much greater than the s!;oft rail and long ocean haul via New York or any OLher Atlantic port. The same situation prevails with rof-renco to' freight originating in territory that was until a week ago competitive between Pacific and Gulf pcrts. Typical Example Found. A typical example Is found in the case of steel originating In Pittsburg and consigned to Kobe, Japan. Before the new rates became effective it cost only 29 cents more to ship a ton of this steel through Portland than through New Y'ork, The present dif- rential in favor of New York against Portland is $1.84 a ton, which obviously imposes an effective bar rier against the use of the combined rail and ocean haul through a Pacific port. This sudden rise In the dif fcrential is due to the faet that the increase in 'rail rates increased th cost of transportation from Pittsburg to Portland from $12 to $16, while the rail rate from Pittsburg to New York has been increased only from $5.40 to $7.56 a ton. The ocean rate ol $11.25 from Portland to Kobe and $17.85 from New York to Kobe has remained unchanged. The way the increased rail rates will block the shipment of cotton to he orient through Facific ports if export rates are not equalized is shown by the differentials existing against Portland in this traffic. Competitive Chance Lout. The cost of shipping cotton to Ja pan from Texas common points is now 16- cents each 100 pounds cheaper through Cialveston than through Port land. Cotton from Oeorgla points can now be shipped through Savannah at cost of 27cents each 100 pounds less than through Portland. From Louisiana and points east, cotton now moves through New Orleans 28 cents each 100 pounds cheaper than througM Portland. Hundreds of tons ot cotton from this formerly, competitive territory moved through Portland, San Fran cisco and Puget sound ports last sea on, but it is held that if the rates now in effect are allowed to remain not a pound of cotton will move through the Pacific coast this season I'Onn In Shipping; Seen. The seriousness of the situation is seen in the fact that from 60 to 80 per cent of the freight which during recent years has moved from the Pa cific coast to the orient has originat ed in competitive territory of the east, middle west and south, which, under the new rates, is no longer competitive. An even higher percentage of the return cargoes brought back from the orient by vessels operating from the Pacific coast Is destined for eastern points. If Import rail rates are not equalized return cargoes to this coast, which are now barely sufficient to pay operating costs, will cease almost entirely through the diversion of traf fic to the short rail haul of the gulf or Atlantic coast. Differentials Are Listed. The differentials against Portland on the principal articles of export are listed by H.

Main 7070, Automatic 560-95, SHIP CHIEF ASKED HERE INVITATION TELEGRAPHED TO ft'UAIlUIAX BENSON. Chamber Officials Believe Redis ricting Possible it" Bourtl Holds Hearing Here. President Van Duzer of the cham ber of commerce has telegraphed an invitation to Admiral W. H. Benson, chairman of the shipping: board, in viting him "to make a trip to the Pacific coast and visit Portland. When R. A, Dean was here last week, as representative of the board, he ex pressed the conviction that the re-districting- adjustment desired by Portland shippers should be easily obtained when the members of the shipping: board understand the situa tion. It is the view of the chamber of commerce officials that a personal visit of the chairman would be bene ficial through a full knowledge of the competitive conditions existing between ports of the Pacific north west. The telegram to Admiral Benson follows: We are aware of your keen interest In tho development of Pacific trade and the part to be played by the American mer chant marine in it future extension. We teed that we have a different situation existing on the Pacific coast to that on the Atlantic and that th opportunities and possibilities of future development will demand from the memfcers of the ship ping board first-hand and Individual in vestigation of the facilities of the vari ous ports and tho part they are to play. we aesu-e not only to extend you an Invitation to visit Portland and the Pa cific coast, but we urge your comlns as soon as the same may be convenient to you.

WESTWARD HO HAS TROUBLE 12 of Crew JLeft Behind After Dis pute Over Pay. Trouble aboard the steamer West ward Ho, which was lying at munici pal dock Xo. 1. resulted in a call being sent in for the police Tuesday night. The ship sailed, leaving: on the dock 12 members of the crew who refused to work.

Captain Speler of the harbor patrol dispatched Bngineer Thomas and Patrolmen Barber and Perkins to the scene. The policemen guarded the vessel until she sailed for Seattle. The steamers brought cargo here fr.om Baltimore. After discharging at Seattle ehe is expected to return here to load wheat. BRIDGE F.IPS OFF PILOT HOCSE Captain Jumps Before Crah and Sares Life.
