Increase of 1 6 Per Cent Would Give Southern Pine Manufacturers a Monopoly In Borne Sections. Old Contracts Are Cited. Formal and emphatic protest against the proposed 15 per cent Increase in interstate freight rates was voiced by the traffic committee of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association at a special meeting In Portland Friday night. This committee was delegated by a recent convention of the association to investigate the conditions surrounding the carriers' request for an increase and to file recommendations with the Interstate Commerce Commission In ac cordance with its findings. While most lumbermen are decidedly opposed to the railroads' ambitious plan to Increase their revenues, others thought that a slight Increase might be warrantable In view of the con stantly advancing price of all commod ities required to operate the rail lines successfully. After a thorough Investigation, how ever, the committee found that a hori zontal increase as proposed would place the west Coast manufacturers at a decided disadvantage with the South ern pine manufacturers their principal competitors. A 15 per cent advance would add about $1.13 per 1000 feet to the price or Douglas fir In Chicago, while add ing less than 40 cents to the price of Southern pine. Increase Held Unreasonable. Although the Douglas fir people have all the better of It in quality, com petition, so far as prices are con cerned, is nip and tuck, and the dif ferential that would grow out of the 15 per cent advance could not be ab sorbed by the local manufacturers. In reviewing the situation upon which the committee's action was based, a report was prepared, which in part follows: This protest was prompted by the apparent unreasonableness of the in creases with Its attendant effects on the present condition of the industry and the general condition of the lum ber trade as It has existed for the last eight or ten years, or since the ad vance of 5 cents per 100 pounds was made over the protest of the same as sociation in 1908. The greatest need of the industry is the extension of the present rail markets, and the horizon tal increase of 15 per cent contemplat ed under the supplements to the va rious tariffs would have the effect of driving Western lumbermen out of the densely populated territory on and east of the Missouri River, where they meet the strongest competition of Southern yellow pine mills, which by reason of their proximity to impor tant markets have the advantage of rates which average less than one half the rates which Western lumber men are compelled to pay. Car Shortage Cited. Owing to the inability of carriers to furnish equipment necessary for the transportation of Western lumber. there Is a large accumulation of orders contracted for on the present basis of freight rates that would force the mills, providing the Commission allows the 15 per cent Increases to go into effect, to stand the difference, which it is generally estimated would ap proximate a loss of $1,000,000 to the lumber Industry. "Aside from these special objections to the increases. It is not felt that there is the same need for additional revenues of the Western roads as may possibly exist with respect to the re quirements of Southern and Eastern lines, which have made an application for a similar advance. Earnings of Western lines for several years have shown large net Increases, which is more or less an exception to the finan clal condition of other carriers through out the United states, and for that reason there does not exist the same reasons that may have prompted East ern and Southern lines to petition the Commission for an advance of 16 per cent.
