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.
