PACIFIC IRON WORKS
COAST CITIES CONCERNED
Xocal Operators Took for Lowering
of Intercoastal or Trans-Pacific
Freights, or Both.
A drop of 20 per cent In freight
rates on lines operating directly from
the orient to the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts via the Panama canal, informa
tion of which was received by local
eteamship operators yesterday after
noon, probably will be followed by
a reduction in either intercoastal or
trans-Pacific rates, or both, it was
agreed by local operators.
The new reduction affects princi
pally shipments moving from Japan
lo New York and New Orleans. Here
tofore the trans-Pacific lines operat
ins out of Portland, namely, the Ad
miral and North China lines, have
been able to compete with the east
ern lines for this business, and secure
considerable oriental freight for re
turn cargoes back to the Pacific coast
from the orient, and to transfer ship
ment to the various intercoastal lines.
jhe whole question is up for consid
eration by the Pacific westbound con
ference and by operators of the inter
coastal lines and action is expected
.before the end of the week.
Cities Equally Affected.
San Francisco, Portland and Puget
Sound are affected equally by the re
duction in rates on the direct orient
Atlantic lines, and operators of both
trans-Pacific and intercoastal lines
At all Pacific ports are working to
gether for an equalization of rates.
It was pointed out that the increase
In transcontinental railroad rates last
eummer cut off much of the trans
Pacific commerce formerly moving
through Portland and other ports of
the Pacific by making the all-water
.haul for freight moving from an At
lantic port to the orient cheaper than
the combination rail and water haul
that brought the goods from the At
lantic to the Pacific by rail and from
here to the orient by trans-Pacific
liners. This disadvantage of Pacific
ports has been largely offset in re
cent months by the intercoastal
steamship lines, which quoted lower
rates than the railroads, and were
thus enabled to bring some freight
from the Atlantic around to the Pa
cific coast for trans-shipment to the
orient.
Temporary I. nil Likely.
"With lower rates, however, quoted
hy the lines operating directly be
tween the Atlantic coast and the far
cast, freight offerings both in the
intercoastal and trans-Pacific trades
ere expected to diminish until the
new low rate can be met.

Shipping Board Defendant in
Damages Action.
CONTRACT LOSS ALLEGE
Emergency Corporation Accused
of Violation of Agreement
for Outfitting Halls.
Claims for alle
tract formed th hn
against the United States
snipping board emersrennv fleet rnr
poration which was filed in federal
court, yesterday in behalf of the Pa-
cine -Marine Iron Works. Similar
suits totaling: 13,(100,000 are soon to
d rued, according; to Coy Burnett
attorney for the Pacific Mrln Wnrfca
ana several other northwest ship
building: firms with unsettled claim
uuni.numjf agrainst the emergency
The emergency fleet eorooratlon
was alleged in the suit to have v o
lated a contract entered into April
12. 1917, under the terms of which th.
i-aouic .Marine Iron Works was to In
stall equipment in IS hulls furnished
by the fleet corporation. The fleet
corporation was to furnish the hull
as fast as the company could handle
mem and to provide all materials fo
installation.
Contract Terms Set Forth.
Terms of the contract as set forth
in a duplicate filed with the suit
were that the corporation pay $20,000
ror eacn or the 16 hulls to coverr
overhead of the plant, plant construe
lion and extension. In addition $5000
a hull was to be paid as profit, and
the fleet corporation was to pay for
an direct labor cost in connection
with the installation.
The complaint alleged that the cor
poration failed to provide hulls as
specified in the contract: that pay
ment of 000 a hull was not made on
eight completed hulls: that direct
labor charges of installation to the
amount of $25,000 were paid by the
company without reimbursement by
he corporation; that failure to de
liver materials properly or failure to
dtllved at all damaged the company
o the extent of thousands of dollars
that ?100,000 of the $320,000 provided
the contract to cover overhead of
plant, buildings and extensions was
xpended arbitrarily through orders
of the corporation ir. useless exten-
ions and unnecessary additions to
he plant, and that after the cancel
lation of the contract 'by the fleet
orporation in April, 1919, the com
pany was forced to keep its plant
pen for a year with a consequent
expense of $50,000.
Other Damage Are Asked.
Other alleged damages included
claims for profit that could have been
made on additional hulls if the fleet
corporation had allowed the comple
ion of the original 16 on scheduled
ime, and claims for damages through
use of the company plant for stor
age purposes. -
Suit has been instituted, according
to Mr. Burnett, after negotiations
covering two years have failed to
bring a settlement. A recent decision
of the supreme court in the case ot
the United States vs. Strains was
hat the emergency fleet corporation
though owned by the United States.
was nevertheless subject to suit.
Other clients of Hr. Burnett whose
laims will be presented in suits filed
in federal court include the outfitting
lant of the Pacific Marine & Iron
Works, Supple-Ballin, the Ballin Wa
ter Tube Boiler company and Meach

Takes Charge of Whole Fleet;

Municipal terminal No. 1, at the
foot of Sixteenth street, was the busi
est place on the Portland waterfront
yesterday. For a time four big ocean
going steel steamers were docked
there, two of them lying abreast be
cause all the berthing space along the
face of the dock and in the slip was
occupied.
At the beginning of the day's busi
ness tha steamers . West Nivaria,
newly arrived from the orient, and
the West Keats, both of the Columbia
Pacific Shipping company's North
China line, were lying stem to stert.
along the face of the dock. Then
along came the steamer Pomona of
tne iuropean-jacnic line, and tne
West Keats, which was merely wait-
ing for a towboat to take her to hei
loading berth anyway, made room fot
her by moving out beside the West
Nivaria. At noon the Ohioan of the
American-Hawaiian line, arrived and
went into the slip, and there all four
of them were, with the port staff of
the Columbia-Pacific in charge of the
whole fleet.
The Pomona discharged an assort
ment of sample kitchen utensils, toys
and essence of fruits from Hamburg
and linoleum and printed labels from
London, and moved to the Portland
Flouring Mills dock to start loading
her outward cargo for Europe. The
West Keats was taken- in tow by the
harbor towboat Portland and shifted
down to the Clark-Wilson mill to
start loading lumber for China, and
the situation was much less compli
cated.
Electric tractors of the dock com
mission were used with telling effect
yesterday afternoon in transporting
the cargo of the steamer Ohioan into
the warehouse. The freight of this
vessel, brought from New York and
Philadelphia, consisted principally of
nails, machinery and other heavy com
modities. Part of the cargo was
dropped from ship's tackle directly
into gondolas which had been run out
on the slip track and whisked away
to the sidings of the Portland con
signees. The West Nivaria is expected to fin
ish discharging her oriental cargo at
noon today and will movo to the Port
of Portland diryd'ock for overhauling.

which arrived Saturday night from San
Francisco, will sail at 10 o'clock this
morning.

PENDLETON, Or., Jan. 24. (Spe

yesterday destroyed the Pilot Rock
Elevator company's warehouse, first
estimated at $140,000, was cut today
to variously estimated figures run

by local grain men that some of the
wheat will be found uninjured when
that damaged by fire and water is re
moved. One lot of barley, 2500 sacks,
was removed from the fire with the
loss of about 500 sacks.
The warehouse, valued at $10,000,
